If I married some one in Peru before I was divorced from another person in the US, is my Peru marriage valid?

If you married someone in Peru while you were still married in the USA, your Peru marriage is not valid. The law prohibits what you did, and even, if you didn't know what was right or wrong, it doesn't excuse you from liability.\nIn other words, you were married TWICE at the same time, and it is not valid.\nI am not sure about having to get a divorce in Peru, so you should probably contact a lawyer to take care of any possible future legal issues, such as jail, for example.

No not usually, but his depends on how long you have been married and how long you have been a resident of your current state.

You can always afford and save up money to return to the Philippines.  If you qualify for an annullment, then all you need is to save or borrow about $800 for your roundtrip plane ticket to get your paperwork annulled.  If you plan to remarry in the US while your VISA application was marked as being single, you are considered single in the eyes of US.  However, if your husband in the Philippines learns about your re-marital status, he could make life for you difficult including deportation for false information on your application.

I would think so. Why your asking is beyond me is you married someone there.

If you are a Conditional Permanent Resident based on marriage, you may be able to file a waiver to remove conditions on your own, even if divorced, if you can prove that the marriage was entered into good faith.  You must however file to remove conditions either jointly or separately or face deportation procedures.\n\nHere is a link from the USCIS website with more information on filing a waiver to remove conditions on your own:  http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=25f542fdfc98923a7509016a19d4eb41

Yes. Bring your photo ID, voter registration card, and proof of name change (marriage certificate) and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

If you marry in the US, the US laws over rule the Muslim contract, unless you move out of the US.  It only matters if you file for divorce in the end.\nUS tax laws go into affect if you live in the US and are married, no matter what "other" agreements you may have.

No.  Marriages and divorces are recognized in all states no matter where obtained due to the Full Faith and Credit clause of the constition (though now that Massachusetts has gone loopy, that might change).

Are you marrying a US citizen? Then there should be no problem. Are you someone from another country you'll have to ask the town or city clerk. However, it probably will be allowed. Congratulations and good luck.

I don't think non-US citizens require a SSAN to get married.  My wife and I got married in June and she did not have a SSAN at that time.

I am going through the K-1 process too. it depends on what country the other fiancee is from. I am engaged to a man that lives in Peru. It is easier for me to go there and visit him instead of him coming here. The reason for that is , in Peru the visas for visitation are put on a lottery. All I need is my passport and my shot records. If the visas were not on a lottery it would be no problem for him to come and visit here. \n\nCheck with the Morocco embassy and see what their policies and procedures are for visits to the USA because they do have that right, but often times it is just easier for the US citizen to visit that country because of the country's travel policy\n\nGood luck Congratulations. Oh Yes the amount of time is 6-8 months for the visa depending on the INS that supports that country ;) I have an attorney and the attorney said that they seem to be moving faster than normal ;)

If a man is legally married to one woman and marries another, the second marriage is considered void and will not be recognized as a valid marriage in any state. The practice is also illegal in many states.

Our friend before answered it right. There is a time frame involved with the actual marriage certificate and the time of a possible devorce before he/she is a U.S. citizen.

No, you can not and yes you will be breaking the law. There are agreements between countries that reconizes each other marriages. I would do some research at www.state.gov concerning foreign marriages. IPlus,when you apply for your marriage license there is some sort of affidavite that you must fill out concerning past marriages and divorces prior to getting married. If you lie on this form you are breaking the law. If you got your present wife a green card through this first marriage and not getting a divorice, you maybe getting yourself into some hot water. i am in ny state and a non contested divorce maybe around five or six hundred dollars. In this environment were background checks are needed for jobs, apartments, etc. i would make sure you are not breaking any laws.\n\nbest,\nL

she will have to divorce. Their marriage is legal as long as they married "de civil" by the law. Alot of couples from mexico may say "mi esposo/esposa" (my husband or wife) and that they are married, when they are only living together. Make sure that they are actually married. If they are by the law in Mexico, they will need to divorse, otherwise they cannot think about getting their papers here.

Yes.\n\nIt is called a Proxy Marriage. Only a few states in the USA recognize Proxy Marriages.\n\nOnly One state recognizes a Double Proxy Marriage, That is Montana. This State law was enacted mainly for servicemen or women who are out of the USA.\n\nHowever, there are only a few reasons that can be utilized in a Proxy marriage.\n\nsee the following link below:\n\nhttp://www.marriagebyproxy.com/?OVRAW=marriage%20over%20the%20internet&OVKEY=internet%20marriage&OVMTC=advanced\n\nGood Luck.
