Hello,

My fiance and I live in the Netherlands. I am a US citizen and he a dutch citizen. We plan to marry in 2012 in the US but will return to the Netherlands to live. Although we plan to live in the Netherlands for the next 5 years we would like the option to move to the US in the future.

What type of visa(s) do we need to apply for prior to our wedding?

Thanks!

Brenda

Your country participates in the Visa Waiver Program(VWP) so provided that you have nothing in your past that would not let you travel on this, then no visa is needed. Of course your fiance can go back to the US anytime. Both of you can get married in the US, with a valid marriage license. Different States have different rules on aquiring this.

So what you should really be asking, is are there any special requirements to obtaining a marriage license for the State in which you want to get married.

To simply marry in the US and return to the Netherlands, you do not need a visa. Make sure she does not overstay or violate any terms of her VWP entry.

When you decide to live in the US permenantly, you will apply for a CR-1 visa for your spouse

Good luck

None.

There is no visa needed to visit the US and to get married. May I suggest Hawaii?

Once you guys are ready to move to the US, you file for a CR-1 visa (married less than 2 years) or IR-1 visa (married for 2 years or longer). As a resident of the Netherlands, you do this via Direct Consular Filing (DCF). Once approved, your husband enters the US as a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR), and will receive his Green Card in the mail about 2 weeks after arriving in the US.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
