im on a tourist visa in the states and i plan to marry an American citizen before my visa expires. you just get a marriage certificate, then get married at a courthouse or whatever, then you need to fill in two different forms for change of status and an aplication for a green card. you may be called for an interview to investigate how the marriage came about and to detect any fraud. then after that from what i understand it takes a long time before you get your green card and can work or drive or anything. this is what i know so far. hope it helps.

It depends on where you are going to marry.
If the marriage is going to take place in the US, as the fiance, you would need a visa. However, always ask the US embassy for the updated visa regulations.
