    Default J1 Student Marrying a U.S. Citizen

    Hi, I'm an international student under a J1 visa with the 2 year requirement.

    I'd like to know what would happen if I marry a US citizen under the age of 18 (while in the US), go back to my country upon completion of my program of study to meet the 2 years requirement. Will I be able to apply for a permanent resident card after the 2 years residing in my country even when she stayed back in the states.

    Why would the USCIS regard that as a bona fide marriage?

    I don't know. You tell me. Would they? If not, let's suppose I happen to marry an at least 18 year old girl during my time in the US. And then I go back to meet my 2 yrs requirement but she stays in the US, say because she's in school/college and then AFTER the 2 years I want to come back. Could I then apply for the spouse visa K3.

    What are your inputs?
