Hello all!

I've recently got my NOA2 and I'm trucking along on this process.

I'm curious if there is any issue with the following situation:

My fiance and I will be living in California, however he is originally from Missouri and all of his family live there, so we are planning to get married in Missouri so all of his family can attend.

Is there any problem with us getting married in a different state than the one we reside in? I wouldn't think so as people go and get married in Vegas, but I thought I would check.

Thanks!

That is absolutely fine.

Make sure you know the state's policy on getting married; in some states, you need to be legally resident for a certain number of weeks before you can get married there.
