    Default Can I marry someone on a Student Visa?

    Here's my situation, my girlfriend is here in GA at an art school on a student Visa. She resides in Thailand and is currently there. I am a US citizen living in CA. We want to get married but her father threatens to cancel her student VISA so she can't return to the states.

    I want to know if she is in the states can I marry her legally without any additional paperwork. And can her father cancel her student VISA that easily?

    If he can cancel, is my only option the fiance or marriage visa?

    thank you for your advice,

    If she is in the country legally, you could marry her and then apply to modify her status - but the greater issue is whether, and upon what timeframe, the application would be approved. If she is on a student visa, and is being supported by her father, his indication that he was no longer providing her with support could inspire the USCIS to revoke her visa. If you wait until her visa is revoked or expires, then your recourse would be to seek a fiancee or marriage visa. It would be best to consult an immigration lawyer before choosing any particular path, so as to be sure you're picking the best approach.
