Hello All, I am on my STEM OPT with full time permanent job on IT. I am thinking of going to Nepal to get marry. But i am not sure either it will be a good idea to fly back Nepal and get marry or better to get marry over here in US. My finance is a US citizen so not sure either there will be a problem for me as a F1 STEM opt to reenter back. Does anybody went to this situation? Reply would be highly appreciated. Thankyou

I don’t see any issue

If asked at POE about your trip and the marriage, you could be denied entry now that you have shown immigrant intent by marrying a US citizen while F1 is non immigrant visa. You don’t have to disclose if not asked. It’s a possibility. I suggest you marry in the US. Last edited: 08-Nov-18 12:44 PM

Get married legally here even if you do the religious ceremony back home. Makes it much simpler eventually for paperwork and stuff.
