What is the name of your state? Kansas
I am a United States resident, and I would like to marry my finacee from Sri Lanka. I am not sure who to contact on what needs to be done to be able to marry him. He is here on a student visa, and has one year left of college. He does not have a permit to work, however, he has been working and paying tax as if he was allowed to do so. I don't know how much trouble that is going to cause us either. I just found out he doesn't have a work permit.
Basically, I am just trying to determine what must be done to allow us to marry, and attempt to retain citizenship for him. I would rather stay in the US, if possible.
I am sure there is a ton a paperwork and hoops to jump through, but I have no clue what they are and what needs to be done to complete this mess. We were hoping to marry soon, but now after reading a few postings I am worried as to what needs to be done first for this to be legal.
Help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
