Thank You, Since i did work in the states on a HIB visa i do have ssn.

However i thought its not legal to come to the states on a tourist visa and get married. When we do this can we get any trouble of it in a later stage?

No problem. Anyone can get married in the USA, like I said, it is big business and we LIKE foreign money being left behind.

It is illegal to enter the USA with the intent to get married AND adjust status from a tourist visa. Visiting and getting married are not the problem. Trying to avoid the fiancee/spousal visa process is the problem. Good luck.




Thank you guys, thats helpfull!!!

Ill keep u updated,

Good luck and godd bless

Dear all,

Hopefully someone can shine a light on our situation.

Im a Dutch national and engaged with my dearest fiancee who is an American national.

At the moment i am in the Netherlands and she is working in Europe. Soon she will be moved to the middle east for an assingment overthere.

Since we want to be togheter and the only way for a wife to sponsor her man in those countries is to be married we intend to get married sooner than that we thought.

Now here in the Netherlands the paperwork for our marriage is in the mills (and we have big slow mills..) and it might not clear fast enough. Now we are planning a vacation to the USA next month and are thinking of getting married there.


Hope you guys are still with me, here are my two questions:

-If we get married next month in the States while i am on a tourist visa (i also have a valid H1B visa but no work in the States) and i go with my wife to the middle east will or can this act bite us later on when, in like one or two years im gonna file for residency?

-is Las Vegas the only place were a foreigner can get married?


Hopefully someone has a lil light for me?


thanks in advance and God bless

Hey Dutch,

Check with your local Stadhuis to see if they will accept a marriage in Las Vegas. I have some EU friends who got married in Las Vegas years ago who recently moved to the Netherlands (Leiden) and their Las Vegas marriage certificate was not accepted by the stadhuis here.

And I know the rules for an American citizen marrying an Dutch citizen suck. They make it pretty much impossible for a non-EU citizen to marry an Dutch citizen. My fiance and I have looked into it.

Best of luck to you,
Jessica (currently residing in Leiden)


hey Jessica,

yeah, i thought getting married and file for residency in the States was hard, but the eu makes it pretty though also.

However we plan to get married in the states on just a tourist visa, immediately leave for the middle east and work there for like one or two years. After that we want to move back to the States. I just want to make sure it doesnt bite us that we got married while i am on a tourist visa.

Good luck to You as well.

No - but you will need a different visa to return most likely.

No - depending on the state laws, anyone can get married.
