Marriage in the US

[shauntemoore 0]

I am the holder of a B1/B2 visa. My US Citizen child has applied for me. The issue here is that my fiance-a permanent resident wants us to get married before my permanent visa is issued. I intend to return home whether I choose to get married now or later and await my US permanent visa. Do What are the implications if I decide to get married in the US?

Maybe you will get some responses to your question in a different forum. Have you tried asking your question in the "Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents to America" forum?

1) You can get married in the US on a B1/B2 visa. Declaring, however, at your POE that you are going to get married during that trip could potentially cause problems at US immigration unless you can convince the immigration officer to his satisfaction that you are intending to leave after the marriage

2) Once you are married to a LPR, you are now an "intending immigrant" and Immigration Officers will be suspicious of your motives the next time you visit the US with your B1/B2. There is also the potential that you could be turned away and your B1/B2 cancelled upon POE.
