Marriage License

[Archon 0]

My wife and I went to a Clerk and Recorders Office and had a Civil Marriage performed recently in the United States, which was perfectly legal in the state which I reside. When we were obtaining the Marriage License and were asked the usual questions, my wife clearly stated that she was a Canadian citizen (not to mention that she had her passport on her and an Ontario G-1 drivers license that were both shown to the clerk). The Clerk put down that she was from the town that I live in (Lakewood) and not from Ontario, when my wife told her this it was not changed and she assured us that it was just for mailing purposes and would be fine- we went through with the marriage and now fear that she might have difficulty in proving that she is the person on the wedding license and certificate (since she has a certified copy that has both on the same sheet of paper).

We were wondering if anyone would know if this might affect the application process for a K-3 Spouse Visa, or if anyone else might have undergone a similar circumstance.

Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read this.

it will not. Besides, she is now "from" the town you live in, it is now her new permanent address

Trying to get a K-3 visa from an American permanent address goes against the logic of the immigration laws. That's the location from which the AOS application should be submitted.

A marriage licence (spelled license in American English) is a document issued, either by a church or state authority, authorizing a couple to marry. The procedure for obtaining a licence varies between countries and has changed over time. Marriage licences began to be issued in the Middle Ages, to permit a marriage which would otherwise be illegal (for instance, if the necessary period of notice for the marriage had not been given).

Today, they are a legal requirement in some jurisdictions and may also serve as the record of the marriage itself, if signed by the couple and witnessed.

In other jurisdictions, a licence is not required. In some jurisdictions, a "pardon" can be obtained, for marrying without a licence and in some jurisdictions, common-law marriages and marriage by cohabitation and representation are also recognised. These do not require a marriage licence.

Article 16 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that "Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses."

I have contacted travel agent for travel deals to America with my spouse.

In short, i agree with the term and conditions of VISA policy;

Thanks
