Was wondering if we applied for the our Marriage liscense in a neighboring county recorder's office if that could cause any problems with the adjustment of status process. We were wanting to apply the same day she gets here. But may not be back home in time before the one here in our home town closes.

You should check with the office to find out if you are required by your state to obtain a marriage license in the county in which you reside or not. We obtained our license in our own county but were married in a different county; it didn't cause any problems. Some areas, however, do have residency requirements or such so you may wish to check. It shouldn't make any problem with the AOS application, but may have to be taken into consideration for the actual marriage. GOod luck

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Agree with Kathry, on checking if you can use the license across the county line to actually get married, if you desire to be married in the county of residence. For example, the county where we live will only honor licenses for this county. How this will affect the AOS process is only through this questions - that you are able to be married, and can produce the marriage certificate.

Good Luck!
