Hello everyone, 

What's with the suspicion? 

This forum is quite large and I had no clue where to ask the question; secondly, having been living in Poland for the last couple of years I have become accustomed to being required to have documents and stamps for everything. Thus I was unsure what the process was regarding a destination wedding; if it required a special trip to the capital for some piece of paper allowing a civil destination wedding in the US between a US citizen and a non-US national.

No need to argue. No need to get suspicious. 

Thank you all for your help. 

Regards

If you are getting married in the USA and then immediately going back to Poland, why are you getting a K-1 visa for her?

 

If your goal is to get an English language marriage certificate, fly to London or Gibraltar instead and get married there.  

 

Hello, 

Pardon the misunderstanding. I am not looking to set up / get her K-1 Visa. My enquiry was rather about the legalities of a US national and a non-US national having a civil wedding on US soil, but with no intention for immigration at the moment. Sorry if my post was confusing. 

Cheers,

3.  Non-Issue.  Many people come to the US to marry, then leave.

 

As long as your fiance is legally admitted into US, there shouldn't be an issue........good luck.

Thank you very much for your information and the link you provided. 

Wishing you the best.

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure of how to best locate this post and to whom I should be writing. Here is my situation:

I have dual citizenship (US & Poland), passports from each, ID cards, US birth certificate. Currently I live and work full-time in Poland, essentially as a Polish citizen even though I may not fit in culturally. Nevertheless, my fiancee has Polish citizenship only (PL passport, with a standard US tourist visa). 

We are planning to have a civil marriage outside of this country, namely in Hawaii. But we are not looking to change her status to immigration. We'd just like to get married in Hawaii and then come back to Poland. 

The issues I am having are:

1) How does US law view my situation (dual citizenship)? When I set foot on US soil, I am a US citizen, who will be marrying a non-US national inside the US. 

2)  What documentation do we need to start in order to have a civil wedding in Hawaii BEFORE we book venues, flights, etc.? 

3) Is holding a ceremony in the US (between a US citizen and non-US national) easier than I think it to be? 

Any insight or forwarding information would be greatly appreciated. 

Kind regards,
