unless you have something other than an tourist visa you cannot register. trust me - i spent many hours there - a total waste.

and trust me - i know the website at the embassy says you have to have the FRRO, but you dont. only 90 days stay is required. i just applied I130 at delhi. and they gave me back all my bills too (also listed on the website as required proof)

even the security guard on your way into the embassy will ask you for the FRRO. dont be detered! many people that wer there the same day as me did not have it. Only people turned away were those with less than 90 days stay (by proof of visa stamp)

On the other hand, I walked into the FRRO with a tourist visa and my marriage certificate and walked out with a resident permit in under an hour. Unfortunately in India its hard to understand which rules really are rules and which are only suggestions. I recommend trying to get the permit, but not until after the marriage. Just go to FRRO with you and your spouse's passports, the marriage cert, and about 30 passport photos... and call first to verify the required documents.
