So does everyone think under the US ESTA tourist visa we can get married with no issues as long as she goes home and since we have no intensions of adjusting status anytime soon this should be no problem? I was reading these sites and they seem to confirm what I'm thinking but not 100% sure: https://www.nnuimmigration.com/getting-married-in-usa/#:~:text=If you are a national,married and tourism (honeymooning). https://www.visapro.com/resources/article/getting-married-on-a-tourist-visa/ As far as I can understand under US ESTA visa waiver program my Japanese future wife can come here with the intent of marriage and then go back home since we are not applying for her citizenship for at least couple years.

What concerns me is my future wife she can file for a US ESTA or a visa waiver program, which I believe states that Visa-free travel is allowed for trips of up to 90 days and permissible activities include getting married and tourism (honeymooning). But I can't seem to be able to find a 100% sure answer. Cause it appears that with the US ESTA she should be able to get married with me with no issues. Thank you all for your help by the way you are all helpful and I appreciate your answers.

So as the title states I'm planning on getting married to who I would call my fiancé who I've been talking with for 7 years. However due to covid restriction laws I couldn't come to Japan so we could start a fiancé visa so at this point we haven't met yet in person. We agree that I would help plan our wedding here in San Francisco, California. I've heard the Japanese passport is very strong being one of the passports that allows Japanese citizens to enter majority of countries with a stay of 90days without a visa. My question is does my future wife still need some sort of Visa to stay with me in California if she is only staying for a month and is immediately heading back to japan as she still has her family to take care of?
