    Default H1 Transfer and Marriage

    Hi,
    I think this forum is really useful and i think i will get a practical solution to my problem.

    I am seeing a guy who is based in US for last 9 years and is working on H1 visa. He has applied for green card and is waiting for its final stage to be done. He is waiting for his H1 transfer to be from company "A" to company "B".

    We want to get married as soon as possible but are waiting for his H1 transfer to be done so that i can apply for H4 based on his H1 as his legally wedded wife.

    My question is, if his H1 transfer gets rejected because of any reason and he gets is green card, what are the ways we can get together and can get married?

    Also, i have heard that if you get your GC, you cannot get married to a girl who is of different country for next 3 years, is it true? Is there any law like this?

    Please help me out!

    I thought he was your husband?

    Hi,
    He is not my legally wedded hubby yet but we are engaged formally and unfortunately we have to wait till he gets his H1 transferred. We are really helpless without it and don't know when the transfer will happen. I am really scared and worried, what if it doesn't come in 3 months time?

    If it doesn't come, it doesn't come.

    You are not prevented from marrying right now, if you so desire. You're only prevented from coming to the US with him until either the transfer goes through and you apply for (and are approved for) an H4, or he gets his Green Card and applies for a visa on your behalf.

    Really, for expediency's sake, you ought to get hitched now, so you don't have to rush around and do that before you can start filing the appropriate paperwork.
