Thank you for all comment sharing!

At primary, I'm trying to study rule and law for this online marriage scenario first. Travelling to another county is in choice but it take long time to get visa and require visa condition. 

Of course I worry about two foreigners marriage in USA that aaron2020 mention. 

 

As I read  USCIS Policy manual. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-12-part-g-chapter-2 . 

I have 2-3 doubts

1. Utah county will be considered to be place-of-celebration by law right?

2. Do Utah online marriage recognized consummated by Utah law?

I stuck with 'celebrate' and 'consummated' this 2 word.😥

 

Please help to share you opinion. If can give reference would be pleased.

The link I sent you is from FAM ( Foreign Affairs Manual) and that is what you should refer to because you are dealing with DOS ( Department of State ) and Consulate, thus not USCIS. 
 

To simplify, UTAH allows marriage by proxy and therefore the zoom . Because you and your partner will be physically together at the time of zoom marriage , then you will have satisfied the “ consummated “ requirement. 
Consummated = sexual relation between married partners…but for Immigration purposes you only prove that you have been “ in the physical presence “ of each other, no sexy photos Lol!

However, a republican candidate is (most likely) taking office in January, he is against the concept and wants it discontinued  https://davidsonclerk.com/?fbclid=IwAR2mXWNKAbO3_LqjoPiNiFQXfNgdl0cvBXctHpdwm7GQ9wZJXbFvq3e1apk  (see the Against Universal Marriage Licenses For All tab).

That candidate appears to have won the office and has yet to require remote appearance couples to come to Utah to get married.
