Can a permanent resident marry to a foreigner?

[Adil 90th]

Good afternoon everybody
I hope you all be doing good
I have a question:
can a lawful permanent resident do Same-sex marriage in the U.S with a foreigner that arrived in the U.S by B-2 Visa or tourist visa?
Note: The country of origin of the foreigner does not allow Same-sex marriage,

Your Answers are appreciated.
Thanks

Sure. Immigration status is not relevant to who can marry in the US. Anyone can marry as long as they are single and not very close relatives and meet any other conditions set by the state.

If you are asking how can the foreigner immigrate after marriage, that is another matter. A spouse of a permanent resident is in the F2A category which has a 2-year wait for visa numbers. It is basically impossible for the foreigner to be able to file AOS during their 6-month B-2 status. And in that category, they cannot AOS if out of status. So basically, the foreigner must return abroad and wait for Consular Processing (unless the foreigner stays in the US illegally and waits until the permanent resident naturalizes, at which point they can do AOS).

I Dont see why not. !!!

That country said person is from. That doesnt recognise same sex Marriage

Will Just not Recognise the union as Legal. But America does. Given the state in which you live in does.

Im from south America My country doesnt recognise it. I rececntly saw in the news This Guy married a man from America. And came up to live with him. Just as anyone would that u got married too

It made the news because the guy he got married to was killed and he inheritted millions

Dear @newacct
thank for the reply
so, based on your reply, can the foreigner comeback to his origin country after marriage and then filling forms for being a permanent resident and waiting for the visa bulletin?
is that what do you mean?
thanks again

Thanks for the reply @Jbuff
I asked that to make sure that they don't ask for a paper of eligibility of that marriage from their origin country, because if it's necessary, it can't be done because Same-sex marriage is not allowed in the the origin country,
example of countries that ask for eligibility of marriage from 2 foreigners: Europe countries like Poland and UK

Yes, it’s fine as jbuff described the process. And no they don’t need paper of eligibility or whatever from the home country - the only requirement is that the marriage is legal where it was performed. So if you get married in the US that’s totally fine.
