They can marry in the United States, but not in England until March 29, 2014 when same-sex marriage is legal there. Once they have married, the marriage can be the basis for Immigration status in either the United States or England.

Yes, but they must do so in the United States, since same-sex marriage is not legal in Great Britain. In the United States, citizens of any country may marry citizens of any other country.

When Britain ruled India, he was a British subject, but that is not exactly the same as being a citizen. He spent much of his life striving for Indian Independence from British rule.


Can you stay in the USA if you marry your same-sex American partner?

Maybe. Effective June 26, 2013, an American citizen may sponsor a foreign same-sex spouse for permanent residency. Although this makes it easy for foreigners wishing to come to the US on a fiancee visa, or who already are in the country on a visa (expired or not), there is still much hardship facing foreigners who entered the country illegally, even if they marry an American citizen. As of that date, however, the distinction between same-sex marriages and opposite-sex marriages is removed.

Can a you s citizen get married to a Syrian man?

American girls are free to marry whom they will. To marry a Syrian man, it would be necessary for the couple to be in the same place at the same time, so first you would have to decide where you both want to be. Given the current civil war in Syria, you are probably better off meeting in America and getting married there.
