I'm planning on getting married in Ukraine in 2 weeks. Once married, do I need to take any steps afterwards to register this marriage so it's recognized in the USA?

Wife's visa journey:

03/19/07: Initial mailing of I-129F.

07/07/11: U.S. Citizenship approved and Oath Ceremony!

MIL's visa journey:

07/26/11: Initial mailing of I-130.

05/22/12: Interview passed!

If it is recognized by Ukraine (via ZAGS) then it is recognized in the US.

YMMV

Thanks! I read some Internet document that made it sound like I needed to take it all over the place to have it authenticated and then finally take it to the US Embassy...I'm glad that's not the case...I have enough to do already!

I thought I would have to provide proof of my foreign marriage as well but was told it's not necessary. I changed my car insurance and told my employer that I'm married so my wife will become my beneficiary and didn't need to provide my marriage certificate in either case.

Married on 11/21/06 in her hometown city Tumauini located in the Isabela province (Republic of the Philippines)
