Here in Nevada all you need is $35 and you will have your license within 5 mins, then you can go to a drive-thru wedding chapel and call it good.

In Florida you get it the same day you apply. Just bring a valid identification. For us the passport will suffice. We paid about $95.00. It was funny though because they had us read this handbook about getting married in Florida and the contents is 90% about divorce. Not a good thing to read before getting married :)

Many states require a social security number to get a Marriage Contract/License. With a K1 visa you can go to the local SS office and apply for a SSN berween 14 days after arrival to 76 days.

Some SS offices may need to be reffered to their own website instructions though as they are ignoeant of K1 visas.

:lol::lol::lol: that really made me laugh.

it seems they are already telling would be couple that it is easy to get off the marriage when the going gets rough. and then we wonder why the US has the highest divorce rate.
