What does my fiancee, an Italian citizen need to marry me, a U.S. citizen, in the U.S.(New Jersey to be exact)

Question

I know about they offer fiance visa's to let your fiance enter the U.S... Unfortunately we dont hve time to wait for one to go to the U.S. because I have a family emergency, so he is going to enter on a tourist's visa. This visa also allows him to stay for 90 days. Once we're there though, I dont want to return to Italy because once we got the fiance visa we, more I, wanted to start our lives.. in America. I dont want to spend the money going back and forth because we just had our first baby. Anyhow, I know its possible to marry him even with him being there as a tourist but I was wondering if anyone knew which paper work he should bring with him - exactly what he'll need for the state? I went on the embassy website but I only found visa information. Does anyone know or have direct web links please let me know! Thank you!

How Do I File the Petition?

To find out how you can petition to have your spouse live in the U.S. permanently, please see Petitioning Procedures, which will help you identify what you and your spouse need to do. This link also provides information for your spouse on filing the I-485 at the same time you file the I-130 petition.

does this now, answer your question? or do you need anything else?

Answer 2

if your in the US and you marry here you don't need to present fiance petition but your whole entire package i-130 and 485 etc...with all the filing fees instead of waiting for fiance petition, what you will be doing is changing his visa from tourist to Permanent Resident. Now, you must find out that if you start this process wether or not he can travel out of the Country.

Answer 3

You really need to talk to Immigration. They would have the best answers and be able to guide you through the process
