A: Hey. I am a marriage greencard attorney.Yes you can get married to a U. S citizen. B2 Visa is generally for toursim and not a dual purpose visa. However, many visitors find love while on vacation and get married. They are then able to become permanent residents if they prove that the marriage is bonafide. Good Luck

A: The short answer is yes IF when you entered the US, your intent was to visit but then later that changed to intending to marry due to a change in circumstances. Don’t get married prior to 90 days since entry.
