Citizenship does not affect marriage. If the license application was filled out truthfully, it is a legal marriage.
Marriage can impact citizenship laws by allowing a non-citizen spouse to potentially gain citizenship through marriage to a citizen. This process may involve meeting certain requirements and going through a legal application process. Additionally, marriage can also affect the rights and privileges of both spouses in terms of residency, work authorization, and other legal benefits related to citizenship status.
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.
Marriage to a non-US citizen can affect the green card holder's immigration status by potentially allowing the non-US citizen spouse to apply for a green card through marriage. This process involves proving the validity of the marriage and meeting other requirements set by the U.S. immigration authorities. If successful, the non-US citizen spouse may be granted a green card, which can lead to permanent residency in the United States for both spouses.
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.
