Hey everyone!

I'm new to this whole thing and I haven't got a clue. I would love any advice that you could give me.

My fiance is an Indian citizen and I am an American citizen. We wish to get married in India and live in India. Which forms do I need to file!? I thought I would need to file the K-1, but we do not want to get married in America. Then I thought I would need to file the K-3, but we are not married yet nor do we intend to move to the US. I'M SO CONFUSED!

I would love any advice that anyone could give me.

Thanks everyone,

bryking

If you are not planning to have him live in the US there is nothing you need to do with regard to immigration. Your husband will just go through the typical travel process for an Indian citizen when traveling to the US. He won't have a different status because he is married to a USC.

You will actually be the immigrant in your situation. Maybe there is a site similar to VJ for people wanting to marry and immigrate to India?

I think you need to apply for what's known as an "Entry Visa": https://indiavisa.travisaoutsourcing.com/guidelines?id=5. The Embassy that deals with NC applications is the Indian Embassy in Washington DC: http://indianembassy.org/newsite/visa.asp.

In your particular case, I'm not sure that India has the equivalent of a fiance visa, where you go to the country, get married and then stay as a spouse. The entry visa appears to be for people who are married to someone in India. Your best bet is to contact the embassy.

Good luck!

How long have you been in India and do you plan on on coming back to the usa? Do you have reentry permit , dual citizenship(OCI) or some other visa? Depending on this maybe we can give some ideas and recommendations. There is nothing preventing a us citizen marrying a indian citizen, no special forms or registrations needed before hand.

They dont need to file anything if they are planning to live in India as the OP has stated.
