I'm curious:Can I just move there once we are married? If so, how long after does it take to get papers so I can legally work there? What is the process like? I'm planning to see an immigration lawyer, but for now thought I seek some possible answers here. Tks! Reply to this Question Share |

well getting married is your best option for immigrating. not sure its the best option for your relationship.
2 choices. 1. hire an immigration lawyer which you're probably looking at about $3,000+ dollars for their services. that basicly know all the loop holes and so forth.
you can do it yourself but be prepared to do plenty of reading and have to go through plenty of bs.
ie : background checks. credit checks. finger print checks, criminal records. everything.
if you DO get married. make sure its a religious ceremony. even if you ain't religious or practicing.
the courts can't legally seperate married partners if the wedding is done for religious reasons.
