Hi All,
I'm a US citizen marrying an F-1 student who graduating in May. She's got her 1 year of OPT so can stay in the country after she graduates. We want to have a ceremony in India where family is, but we live in NJ. So these are the options that I was thinking:
1 - Before her graduation: get legally married in the US, file Adjustment of status along with an advance travel parole. Once we receive permission to travel (how long does this usually take?) Go to india and have the ceremony there.
2 - Go to India during winter break, get married, but not register the marriage in India. Have her return to the US under her existing F-1 status, and then get legally married and file for the adjustment of status.
Any suggestions or thoughts on which one would work better?
Thanks
