A citizen of the United States, an American passport holder.
In the summer of 2016, I will be traveling to Turkey to volunteer at a refugee camp, and marry a Syrian refugee.
I cannot start the process now because I have not met the girl yet, but I have connections in Turkey, and I will make my decision upon meeting the woman.
I am doing this because I am looking to get married to Syrian Arabic speaker like myself, and I would like to help out a Syrian girl and her immediate family.
I am so sorry if these are noob questions, I am just so unfamiliar with this process, but how does this work?
Can I start the process at the US Embassy in Turkey immediately upon marrying her?
Do I need a Turkish marriage certificate?
What is the fastest one could possibly get her into the United States?
Is there anything that would allow her to immediately come to the USA on a Visa, and finish the marriage process here in the States?
Does she need her Syrian passport, or would a Syrian ID card suffice?
The reason I ask is because I am only going to be in Turkey for 3 months, and would like to bring her into the USA with me, instead of returning and communicating with her through phone/skype on what she needs to do.
How can I marry a Syrian refugee?

Can anyone give me their experience on this one?
Thanks so much guys.
