Q: I am marrying my fiance, who is an F1 visa holder. Is it possible to be married in the state of SC?
I am a naturalized citizen. We have been together for over 2 years and intend to stay with her for life.
A:
Good morning. You can definitely marry your fiancé in SC or any state. There are no restrictions on where you can get married.
After marriage, you can petition for your wife to adjust her status. Adjustment of status through marriage is my main practice area. Feel free to contact me for a consultation on what it takes to successfully adjust status to green card holder. Congratulations!
This is not legal advice**
A: Yes after you get married you can apply to get her green card and apply for a work permit which you can get before the green card. Because the process is taking at least a year file soon to get the process started.
