A marriage perfomed in another state/country is recoginzed by your home state.  The laws of Ireland would need to be followed, but I think they are pretty lax.  They would get the marriage license in Ireland, have the ceremony performed and then consider themselves married.  The Irish marriage certificate will be accepted by the DMV and Social Security administration to allow the wife's (or husband's if they so choose) name to be changed legally.

If your Dad is a US citizen, then you should be too so I am assuming he is not your biological father.  With that assumption, your fiance should contact INS and simply state that he wants to visit and if all goes well with family, etc.. that you want to marry and what will happen at that point. \n\nHe will probably get a green card too.  You should get your citizenship as soon as you can, I dont know the rules on how long  you have to be in the country. \n\nIf he works in computers or another hard to recruit field, he may be able to get an H1b visa as well.

The Irish Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1956 provides that certain persons born outside of Ireland may claim Irish citizenship by descent. Anyone born outside Ireland whose grandmother or grandfather, but not his or her parents, were born in Ireland may become an Irish citizen by registering in the Irish Foreign Births Register (FBR) at the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin or at the nearest Irish Embassy or Consular Office. \n\nThere are also certain limited circumstances where you may be eligible to obtain Irish citizenship through your great-grandmother or great-grandfather. This can be a bit complicated, but basically if your great-grandparent was born in Ireland and your parent used that relationship to register as an Irish Citizen by Descent by the time of your birth, then you are also eligible to register for Irish citizenship. Citizenship by descent is not automatic and must be acquired through application. \n\nTo apply for registration in the Foreign Births Register you will need to submit a completed and witnessed Foreign Birth's Registration form (available from your local Consulate) along with supporting original documentation outlined below. The cost of this application is approximately 127€ (Euro) - payable by certified check or money order - plus the cost of registered mail, at the time of this writing. Prior to application, you should contact the Consulate to determine the current cost in your local currency. Expect it to take anywhere from 3 months to a year to have the Foreign Birth registered and the citizenship papers sent to you.\n\nIf one of your greatgrandparests was an Irish citizen, you shoudn't need a lawyer. Beyond that, you should contact your nearest Consulate General of Ireland (New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Boston). They should be able to point you in the right direction.

If they truly love each other and plan to marry, she can file a petition for him as a fiance -- this will change his Visa status so that they may legally marry.  \n\nI'm not certain of all the legalities, but the Department of State website and the Homeland Security website, and related ones, can help you out.  You all need a good lawyer for the red tape.  \nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/lawsregs/index.htm has information about the laws and regulations.

Ireland recognises Dual Citizenship and it looks like the US does too, so if you qualify under the Irish requirements: \nThrough birth or descent \nThrough naturalisation \nThrough marriage to an Irish citizen, it may be possible.\n\nThe first site below has information on "Your right to Irish citizenship" and the second site has "Questions and answers on dual US/other citizenship"

To simply become married, you must file a petition with the United States Citizen and Immigration Services on behalf of your fiance to be granted a 90-day nonimmigrant status. This means that you are allowed to marry within this 90-day period, but they must leave the country before the 90 days are complete.\n\nIf your fiance is planning to live here in the United States permanently after you are married, he must file to become a permanent resident. When this is approved, your fiance will be granted a 2-year conditional residency permit. When the two years has completed, the goverment will again determine whether your marriage is not based solely upon your fiance's wishes to become a citizen, and then he can apply for true permanent residency. After this is approved, is a permanent resident, and after a waiting period of 7 years, he may apply for citizenship through naturalization.\n\nFor more information on this, visit the USCIS website on this subject at:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=39c0194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD\n\nI hope this information helps and good luck!

I knew someone from Ireland that won. That was 12 years ago. He is now an American citizen.

Option 1: Since you have physically met him, you can file a FIANCE VISA Petition. You will have to prove that the two of you intend to marry and that you have physically met during the past 2 years. This takes quite a bit of time (about 12 months). Once he is approved, he will enter the country and you will have 90 days to marry. As soon as you marry, you must file a petition for him to receive a green card. \nOption 2: If you have a good faith relationship, you can marry him in Jamaica. Then you file a petition for a K visa. About 12 months later, he will enter the US with a K visa. Then, he needs to apply for a green card. GOOD LUCK!

You would need to apply for citizenship, follow all the rules and requirements set out for you, never be arrested, and when it's your time, pass the test given and take an oath.  \n\nProbably much easier to marry an American but I'd think much more special to do it on your own.

You need to get married before you will have a legally recognized relationship.  Once you are married you can tehn apply for him to immigrate to the US.  Alternatively, he (or you) can apply for a student or work visa (if either applies) that would allow him to live in the US.
