Getting married tourist visa? then fiancee returns to her country?

[Acslate 4]

         Can my fiancee and I get married on a tourist visa? then she goes back, and then she applies for the green card in her country? It's just I'm going to Italy, and it seems acquiring an Atto Notorio is going to be quite difficult.

Yes she can. Many do.

So, the only issue is if she stays in the US after getting married on a tourist visa? It won't be any problem if we get married in US on a tourist visa and she goes back to Italy, applying for her green card through CR1?

Correct. Entering on a visitor visa or VWP with the intent of staying is  visa fraud. Many couples follow the same path as you are considering.  She needs to make sure she leaves the US before the expiry date given to her on entry

Ok, I was getting at if she came her to get married on a tourist visa was fraud, but it's only if she stays passed her 90 days. Thank you for that insight, we might actually do that.

No that fraud is only applicable in the UK - to enter to marry on a tourist visa. Not in the US.
