Citizenship does not affect marriage. If the license application was filled out truthfully, it is a legal marriage.
Yes. I live in a right to work state.
Many polygamists are legally married to their first spouse, and only religiously or 'spiritually' married to the other spouse, without a legal marriage liscence.
The US does recognize marriages conducted in other countries. The marriage does have to be legal in Canada for it to be legal in the US. And copies of the certificate should be kept available for legal validation.
The immediate effect is that the married couple now have no place in the world where they can legally live together. The solution is for one spouse to obtain legal immigration status in the other spouse's home country. Foreign spouses of citizens are usually given preferential treatment for immigration. That is to say, it is usually easier for someone married to a citizen to obtain citizenship, than for someone who is not married to a citizen.
Immigration officials certainly do a background check on a US citizen sponsoring a foreign spouse. They are mainly interested in whether the marriage is legitimate. If the US citizen has married and sponsored other people before, this may raise red flags.
According French law, religious marriage isn't valid if you are not married beforehand by the mayor. In other terms, no civil marriage means no marriage, so the "spouse" is in fact, as regards law, a total stranger.

If the marriage was conducted legally in the other country, the US will recognize the marriage is valid.
Depends on the will
Yes. in the state I live in.
If you are married to a US citizen who is a felon, the marriage is still legal. If he is now in prison and you are trying to move to the United States, it may cause you problems. If he committed a felony and is now out of prison, there should be no problems other than the usual. That is not guarantee there will not be.
