I know that there is a fiance visa if we want to get married in the US and stay there but my boyfriend and I currently have no immediate plans to move back to the US. We want to get married near my family though. If we get married in the US, with him on a tourist visa, does anyone know if it will create problems in 3-5 years when we apply for a visa for him as my husband when we plan to move to the US? Maybe I'm missing something, but there doesn't seem to be anything saying we can't do that. Are there horror stories to be shared with this scenario? Thanks for the help!

Yes you can marry on a tourist visa.

The fiance visa is not permission to get married in the US, it is a visa for permission to get married and then stay and adjust status to that of permanent resident. if you don't want to stay and adjust status, there is no problem marrying on a tourist visa.

AOS for my husband

As long as you are not planning to live immd after marriage in US, you are ok.

If you guys get married in US and then return back to his home country and later whenever you are ready to move to US (if in case) you can apply for spouse and that should be ok.

There is no problem with that.

Location: B.V.I.?

I'm so sorry; my wife and I almost died at 105 degrees in the shadow (which was nowhere to be found) and 99% humidity with no air conditioning anywhere.

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.
