Yes, even two non-citizens with visas can get married. Just bring your visa and passport to the county courthouse and register for a lisense.

You can get married, but you cant have the status of the non-immigrant adjusted if you get married in the USA without going through the proper K1 Visa process.

Here is information on how to obtain a K1 Fiancee Visa

To do this, you must first establish your relationship meaning that a formal wedding must have already taken place. Your spouse must then go through the Immigration process and receive a valid immigrant visa to enter the United States. This can sometimes mean waiting for a visa number to become available. To combat the wait, your spouse can file a Form I-129F - nonimmigrant K-3 Visa - at the same time that the immigrant petition is filed. This will allow them to live and work in the U.S. while your immigrant visa petition is pending. If your spouse does not file the petition for a K-3 Visa, they may be forced to wait outside the country until their application for immigrant status has been approved.

AnswerYes but that does not grant the person with the visa permanent residency or citizenship.

It's not actually illegal, though it may look a bit suspicious, and marriage does not automatically confer upon your non-citizen spouse the right to remain in the country... you'll need to file a petition for permanent resident status for them, or they'll have to leave when their tourist visa expires.

The best thing to do would be to contact Immigration Services immediately when you decide you want to get married, because the last thing you want is to give them some reason to believe you are attempting to circumvent immigration law. Contacting them prior to the wedding will help establish your good faith intent to follow the proper procedures.

If your future spouse is not in the country yet, the best thing to do would be to apply for a fiancee visa, which allows someone to enter the country for up to 90 days for the express purpose of getting married.

No, the person is now considered to be within the U.S. illegally and he or she will have to return to their country of origin voluntarily or be deported.

How can a US citizen marry an illegal immigrant if he has his birth certificate from Mexico but does not have valid US indentification documents?

Due to stricter immigration enforcement it is no longer a simple matter for a US citizen to marry a foreign national regardless of his or her status within the US. In the majority of US states, the foreign national must have a valid ID, Social Security number, birth certificate and proof of legal status before he or she will be allowed to marry. In the few states that do not require all of the aforementioned documents the foreign national may be allowed to marry with just a valid ID and a birth certificate. Regardless of such, any information obtained by state officials concerning a possible illegal immigrant is forwarded to the Division of Homeland Security and ICE.
