I and my fiancé (both valid H1 visa holders) got married a week back in India. We will be traveling soon back to USA. Is it advisable to get my marriage registered here in India or would it be recommended to register that in US once we travel back?
P.S. My firm is going to start my green card processing soon and my spouse would be filing with me, so I am looking for choice of documentation that would be hassle free.
TIA

Registering in India is very easy. You get your marriage certificate after registering and you are all set. Congratulations on your wedding.

Thanks

Aren't your required to register your marriage in India anyway?

For GC purposes, it won't matter where the marriage certificate is issued. I believe that INS (at the citizenship stage) requires that foreign marriages be registered in the country the marriage occurred but I am a bit hazy on that.

Also since you are already married, there is no such thing as just registering a foreign marriage in the US. You will essentially be remarrying your wife in the city hall or wherever if you want a US marriage certificate.

Yeah, I might eventually register in India, but it wouldn’t be the highest of priorities right now if that’s not going to be of immediate use. Also by registering again in US I meant the same thing you explained. I am okay to do that if that would be an easier thing to do and would be useful in future.

We registered after returning to the US. It was hassle free.
