Hello,

I’m hoping someone can help me here or if someone has gone through a similar experience to shed some light, I would be grateful. I’m a US citizen. My fiancé is an asylum seeker in Italy. Ideally I want to get married in Italy and then apply for a CR1. Is it possible for us to marry in Italy if his status is asylum seeker? 

I was going to have him check with the local registrars office in Italy. If someone knows the answer or been through something similar please let me know as I’m at a loss here for info. I can’t find anything online about it.

What's his country of origin? 

 

Also he cannot go to the interview to the Italian embassy until he actually has a legal status there. I assume asylum seeker means that he wasn't granted any status yet.

His country of Origin is Afghanistan which is the same country as mine except I am an American citizen but was born in Afghanistan. 

Would we be able to get married in Italy?

 

Also why wouldn’t he be able to interview in Italy? I was told the consulate may take his case but to talk to the consulate first. I’m so confused :(

Because only legal resident of a country can attend interview at local US embassy. 

 

If he doesn't have a status he'll need to go back to Afghanistan. 

 

You can get married whenever you want.

He has a status as a student but applied for asylum as well. He’s on F1 visa status currently. If he’s on an F1 visa then would we be able to marry and have his interview there? 

 

Yes.
