Massachusetts does not allow the creation of a “common law” marriage, a relationship in which a couple lives together but have not participated in a lawful ceremony. Unlike some other states, in Massachusetts a couple cannot acquire marital rights and responsibilities by living together for a particular period of time.

Post 911 marrying a citizen is no longer an assured fix.  Find the best lawyer you can afford.  Be aware that if you leave and you are documented, you may be barred from returning.

You cant just be considered married...(in America)...you must apply within local state and government laws for a commonlaw marriage first. If u lived with someone, u cant just go apply for a commonlaw marriage and expect previous time to be accounted for in the agreement. The term for commonlaw marriage does not begin until the next full day after application acceptance. Commonlaw terms range anywhere from 2-7 yyrs in the USA, depending on the state.

No, you will not have to move! When you first marry an American you will be granted conditional permanent residence! This is good for the first two years. After, you both file I-751 to remove the conditions on your status! This is a probation period to see if the marriage was entered in good faith! You can file this alone ONLY if the marriage ended by death of your spouse or abuse by your spouse! These are the only two exceptions to the law. Your full permanent residence will still be granted! You do however, will have to wait 5 years instead of 3 to apply for citizenship! In the mean time , you will be a lawful permanent resident(Green card ) Natural or accidental death of your spouse is no fault of your own!

screw american law.  You don't need a peice of paper from anyone to prove to you YOU are married and want a lifetime commiment from the person you love the most, just tell her she's your wife and hold a ceremony somewhere the both of you find attractive and and share your thoughts on the future and express your love for one another.  And don't forget to continue this thinking in every day for the rest of your life.  Cause thats what it is all about.

I hate to look at things this way, but I'm a factual person. The stats show that ppl who live together before getting married are more likely to get divorced. I waited until I was married to have sex. This brings a real sense of security to our relationship. I could go on about the other benefits, but I'm tired.

If you are applying for citizenship because of time of residence it has to be 5 years (that is 5 years after living in the country as a resident alien), if you are applying because of marriage you have to have been married to a citizen for at least 2 years and have lived in the same address for the last 6 months.   There are several requisits you need to fill but you can get more info at www.uscis.gov

No, you have no case.  The fact that you stayed there for four years indicates that you were happy with the arrangement.  You also have no proof of the agreement.

You need to decide what your beliefs and boundaries are.  If you don't mind living with someone for the rest of your life without a legal marriage, then do it, if not, then give him an option, marriage or you are gone. Most states have the policy of common law marriage anyway, after 5 years (varies per state) of living together you are considered legally married anyway.

No\n\nYou can check the conditions to get divorce in Spain checking the link (European Comission summary for divorce situation in all the countries in the European Union).\n\n"It is conditional on the parties to the marriage having effectively lived apart for a period ranging between one and five years, depending on circumstances. The only case where this condition does not apply is in the event of one spouse being convicted of an attempt on the life of the other spouse, or of his/her ascendants or descendants"
