Hello,

I hope this finds all of you well. A friend of mine whom wants to stay anonymous regarding her question. The question is her and her husband are going through AOS adjustment status.

Her husband has just been sent for his biometrics. They are legally married. However, her parents and child did not participate in their day. She is wondering if she and her husband could go to the next state over and get married again, so her parents can witness this event.

I should explain that they never wanted a wedding to begin with. So, having a JOP(justice of the peace) to redo the vows and have a reception is not an option. They just want to redo the simple ceremony in front of their parents and child.

Would this have any impact with their AOS application since the remaining factor is the interview which they do not have a date for.

Yes they can do a nice ceremony, not a legal one however. Many people do that given the nature of this process. I am one of those.

Enjoy and good luck!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.

Are they redoing it because the family wants it... or because they think they have to have family there?

We didn't have family there, we had one common friend. Mine couldn't travel to be there, and if mine couldn't he didn't want his there. No one batted an eye about it at USCIS.

Tithen,

It's for the family. Her family are a bit of control freaks. So, the dear husband wants everything to be okay because they will moving far away by the summer's end. So, the husband and the wife somewhat are wanting this. Of course its for different ideas. The husband wants it, cause he feels guilty for taking the wife so far away. The wife wants a little something so it will shut them up about it.

I told her, I don't really know about that, but I would ask and find out. I have known couples to re-marry in another state for the heck of it. Of course they were USC(s), I did not know about the AOS.

My sister got married in NV, and then got re-married in CA just cause they lived in CA and felt the need to get re-marry. Do you think the USCIS would go into that much detail to find out if they have re-married each other or not?

Married is married. They cannot have a legal marriage ceremony. They can have a great party/gathering/ceremony where they stand up and declare their love for each other (or anything else). Another gathering with family and friends after a small JP ceremony would likely look good. A larger, more public proclamation of their commitment.
