    Default May A Green Card Holder Marry Outside of the U.S.

    hi,
    i met my fiance while out of the country and we would like to get married soon. does he need to apply for a visa to come to the US or can we get married out of the country?
    I have a green card, he does not.

    There is no visa for a fiance of a Permanent Resident. You may try to come to the U.S. to get married, but you may not have an intention to stay here. It is unlikely that you will be issued B-2 to get married. Also, this marriage and filing of I-130 will not confer any immigration benefits on the alien. You may come here on a nonimmigrant visa, but should have no intention to permanently stay in the U.S. If you get married in the U.S. or abroad, and I-130 is filed and pending, it will take approximately 5-6 years for the visa number to become current.

    You should consult with an immigration attorney.

    Good Luck!
