You need to ask the prison officials on the protocol of marrying its inmate.
You can. However, a USCIS officer might say that you were actually lying about what you were coming to the USA to do in the first place. This is especially if you do not plan to return home after the ceremony and file for adjustment of status here in the USA.

The B-1/B-2 visa is a non- immigrant visa that requires a lack of immigrant intent.
The K-1 requires an immigrant intent.
For these reasons, the request for the B-1/B-2 will have to be abandoned if you wish to pursue the K-1 fiancée visa.
Good luck to you.
Would it effect her getting a green card
We waiting on interview . And we of course used someone else as sponsor

Check with your state's DMV. Ask if they need a Social Security Number, and any other requirements. If you go in person to the DMV, wait until you have your I-589 asylum application receipt notice. (Scan the original and email it to yourself so you have it in the cloud, make a copy and... Read more »

He has filed for joint custody. He wants to take my son to California from Missouri, but with being released on bond can he leave the state? Also, can I file for full custody?
Unless the two of you are married, or have an existing court order, you are the only one with rights to the child; he can't take the child anywhere. Furthermore, it does depend a little upon the conditions of his release, but typically, if he has been released on bond, he won't be able... Read more »
