Daughter marriage to someone from a different country

[treyfort 4]

I have a question. My daughter is from Honduras and does not have citizenship but has a Green Card. She is 19 years old and has a boyfriend that is 19 also. They are wanting to get married, what are the steps that they need to take?

To get married? Get a marriage license from the city clerks office and wait 24 hours, then get married. That's it.

Both need to present IDs. And bring a witness.

It is basically the same as another marriage , they marry , file the I130, but there is a limited number of visas available for for spouses of green card holders so there is a 2-3 year wait after the I130 is approved for a visa.

Where is her bf from?

If she's thinking about filing for her bf, and you want to know how we need more info on her bf.

Moved from spousal visa to bringing family members of PR to the US. As the OP is not a US citizen and a PR.

You need to provide more info if you want a specific answer.

Where is the BF now, in the US or in another country? Is BF also a green card holder? Where is your daughter now? Where are they planning to marry, in the US or in another country?

can they wait a few years?

for example, daughter becomes a USCitizen, then they marry and she files an I-130 on him, chasing after a CR-1 visa.

I am not clear what you are asking about. You asked what it takes to get married. This was answered in the first reply -- they just need ID and get a license and do a ceremony. That's it.

Are you asking about also bringing this boyfriend (future husband) into the U.S.? A lot of people are assuming that but you have never specifically asked it.
