Q: Who do I have to inform if I get married in the UK but I live in USA (DV Green Card holder)?
I am a DV Green Card holder (since July 2018) and I am getting married to my Indian fiance in Jan 2020 in London, UK. Who do I have to inform in the USA that I have gotten married?
A: The facts that you have given beg more questions. Are you planning on living with your spouse in the UK? You could be in danger of abandoning your residency. You really need to speak with an experienced immigration attorney who can ask you the appropriate questions to make sure that what you're doing doesn't interfere with your residency and ensures that you can petition for your spouse if you decide to both try to move back to the US.
