Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

This is not an abnomality, as you put it.

I understand that you legally married your wife in USA, and she is a UK citizen.

Is she still in USA? If so, did you apply for her green card?

If she is in USA, she needs to obtain a legal resident status (green card). Marriage to a US citizen by itself doesn't give her a legal status in USA. You need to petition for her as a US citizen husband.

For immigration purposes, a marriage is valid if valid where performed. If you were married in a place that restricts who can marry there which applies to you, then you could have a problem, but without knowing more, I can't say. I doubt the place of marriage is a problem.

Congratulations in culminating your relationship after your history. That's very nice to hear about.

The above is information, is not legal advice and doesn't form an attorney client relationship. For further information, feel free to write me at [email protected] or call 818 609 1953.

You may apply for her green card if she is inside the United States.
