Hello members,
I am new to this forum. I am a 26 year old Indian girl living in US (Calfornia). I am in my H1B visa currently. I would like to get married to my fiance (who is also in H1B ) in US itself. Can two Indian citizens marry in US? If so , what is the procedure? Some told me I have to approach the Indian Consulate General(as per Foreign marriage act of India) and post some advertisement in an Indian newspaper 30 days prior to the marriage .Some people told I can marry at the city hall of California. If I do the latter , will that marriage be considered valid in India , when we go back to India after few years? Or should I register again in an Indian Registrar office? Also, is the marriage certificate given by the city hall sufficient to add my spouse's name in my passport? Please advise me what to do as I am not sure whom to approach regarding our marriage.
Regards,
Diya
