Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Vegas Marriage

What happens if I'm in a tourist visa marry at Vegas an American man I recently met and fly overseas for our honeymoon?

We are over 40's and with no intention of a long courtship... are we getting in any future problem? I read somewhere that if one marry in Vegas after a short time after meeting, it can generate future problems qith green card rights.

The way you do it is what matters and if not done carefully, you could end up being separated for many months and/or bring scrutiny to yourselves, raising suspicion of marriage fraud (where it doesn't exist). If done carefully, you should not have a problem.

You should get some advice from an expert such as myself before you take actions you might live to regret later on.

This should be a happy time when things go smoothly, not awry.

My decades of experience would help you. Check my website at http://www.yardum-hunter.com or email me directly at [email protected] for information and to get specific advice.
