Getting Married

[LimaVJ 0]

My fiancee has been here since September. We put off making wedding plans until now. We are going to go get a marriage license in Ohio where we live. From what I understand they will give us the marriage license the same day and then we are able to get married as long as its signed by a licensed clergy. I'm kind of worried because my wife doesn't speak english and was wondering if we would have any problems swearing to marry each other since she can't understand the document/what people are saying. Does anyone know anything about this or provide any other advice about the process of getting married?

Deaf and blind people can get married. Your fiance can get married.

Will you be getting married within 90 days of her entry?

Will you be getting married within 90 days of her entry?

Yes. I can get the marriage license tomorrow. We arent making big plans so we could get married within a few days.

One question I have is how long does it take to process the marriage license after were married? And does it have to be processed before applying for a change of status or does the date of the wedding just have to be before the 90 days expired?

Marriage must take place before the 90 days after POE. We went to the local courthouse, had a judge marry us, she signed the form, wife signed the form, I signed the form, and the witnesses signed the form. Took Marriage license (now Marriage Certificate as it has been properly filled out) up to Clerk and Recorder and had it entered into the system and received six certified copies right then and there. The original was received in the mail a few days later. Used one of the certified copies to file AOS, but that was 5 months after we were married due to life events. So her I-94 was expired for two months before we filed her AOS.

Good luck,

Dave

Why don't you find a bilingual clergy person to perform the ceremony? I don't think it will make a difference for USCIS but I'm sure it will make you and your fiancee feel better.

Hi...

I don't know where in Ohio you are but if you are near Cuyahoga county (Cleveland area), there are several judges that are bilingual. I had a friend get married by one (his wife is Colombian) and the Judge performed the ceremony in both English and Spanish. The judge's clerk of courts was a witness due to one of my friend's witnesses having been unable to attend the wedding because of a car accident. It was a pretty nice ceremony for being a civil one.
