A legal marriage in other countries is normally recognized in the US unless there is something considered 'wrong' with it. Someone underage marrying an older person would be a bit questionable.

Immigration laws and rules would be another very important area to look into.

Yes, as long as it was legal in the country you married in......it will be legal in the US.

As long as it's done outside Another Country, they can not do anything to you (Unless it was illegal in the other country in the first place)

It depends on the country but you should be able to apply for a visa if you wish to stay in that country. For example, im here in Japan and my buddy just married a Japanese girl and then was able to reply for and receive a 1 year working visa.

I would like to say yes. However it depends which country. Some countries might have different laws regarding this. If you are looking to get married somewhere else, you should contact an official in that country to get an answer.

If a US citizen marries a foreigner outside the USA that is under the age of consent in USA jurisdictions but not in the jurisdiction they are married in would the marriage be recognized in the USA?

It depends on how far under the age of consent they are. In the US it is illegal to have any sexual contact with someone under the age of 13, regardless of the age in the country where it occurs. Other than that, it would be considered legal in the US.

If a us citizen marries a Mexican illegal immigrant in the us and has 20 years of deportation can he still get the green card and become a resident of the US?

to my knowledge, if you as an American citizen are LEGALLY married to an illegal, all that you have to do is go to your local immigration office and apply for his residency. it is better if you are married in the u.s. before applying. if you guys married in the u.s. so much the better. make sure that he does not have a criminal record or that is it. if you married outside the u.s. what i would do is to marry again in the u.s. so that immigration will "recognize" said marriage, but yes, as a u.s. citizen, applying for your spouse is one of your privileges and rights for being a u.s. citizen...good luck

Can a child automatically be a US citizen if they are born to a parent who is a US citizen because their parent was a US citizen?

It depends- if the father and grandfather have lived in the U.S., then yes the child would be a citizen. However, if the father has lived most iof his life outside the U.S., then it is highly unlikely that the child would be considered a U.S. citizen- even though his father and grandfather were U.S. citizens. Example: Grandfather was born and raised in the U.S. [GRANDFATHER IS A US CITIZEN] Grandfather moves to France at age 20. Grandfather marries a French lady and has a son [SON IS CONSIDERED TO BE A US CITIZEN] Son has lived his entire life and at age 20, the son marries a local French lady. Son's wife gives birth to a girl [THE GIRL IS NOT A US CITIZEN]. This is true even though her grandfather and father were U.S. citizens.

Citizenship by marriage?

A common question about immigration is, "when can I file for citizenship." Before you can apply for U.S. citizenship under the immigration law with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services - USCIS (formerly INS), you must first have a green card or permanent residence. If you received your green card through marriage to a U.S. citizen, you may be able to apply for citizenship through naturalization after having your green card for three years. In other situations, you must wait five years.
