My fiancee is visiting the US from India. We have decided to get married here. What do we need to do? I am a US Citizen. Is there going to be a problem? Are there any papers that need to be filed by me? Please help if you can ..... Thank you .....
 
No Title

no there is no problem for your spouse
he has to under go the physical exam test and sign the court papers

of course he gets a conditional GC after you file for it

and yes during the marriage his visa has to be valid

carol, can you give more information about his case (crime, actual amount he spent in jail, etc):
with the recent supreme court rulings, he may have a chance to ge back his residency !!

Shashi,

If he can enter the country legally (he should not mention "fiance" or anything other than "vacation") then you can get married, during the period of his legal stay (usually 90 days) and file forms I-130 and various others to get his GC. The process is described at www.shusterman.com under "marriage."

Technically, it\'s immigration fraud if it\'s planned in advance, so I cannot advise you to do it, but it worked for me and for others I know. (I got my citizenship yesterday, nearly five years after my marriage to a US citizen).
