How do you marry girlfriend in US on tourist visa?

Answer 1

They have to become citizens of that country to marry that person.

As long as she came to the US legally, and has proofnoprior marriage (proof of divorce) you can marry her in the US or her home country. It would be easier to marry her in the US and apply for I-485 status adjustment. They do not have to be a citizen of the country as stated above. You should still consult an Immigration lawyer. Unless you are on the tourist visa, then rolls simply change. You need to file for I-485, and your US citizen spouse needs affidavit of support and other forms of documents.

Answer 2

First, you need to apply for a marriage license and get married. After you are married you need to file I-130, affidavit of support, possibly work authorization card and I-485 in most cases. (Adjustment of Status), many people use attorneys to do all the forms or they do themself. I recommend waiting a little while until you get all the bona fide marriage proof (showing you are a real couple such as joint bills, credit cards, bank accounts, photos, letters, proof of a relationship prior to your wedding, etc) and things such as translations of birth ceritificates if he/she does not come from a English speaking country, a medical exam, etc. Upon sending everything in, you get a bio-metrics appointment for finger prints and after that you just wait for your marriage based green card interview. In your interview, the immigration officer will question you about anything to do with your marriage and the immigrant and background. They generally ask many personal questions ranging from the color of your curtains to your sex life. Be prepared. If they are satisfied with your marriage they will either give you a stamp there and tell you are approved or send you home to wait. If you are suspected of marriage fraud, you will be rescheduled for a fraud interview. You can go to www.immihelp.com and www.uscis.gov for more information
