Don't have marraige certificate from INIDIA, can I get married again in USA


Recommended Posts

Hello der,

I am in a weird situation, and I have been trying to find some info on it. I really appreciate your feedback


My wife is on F1 and I am on H1b, when we got married in India 2016. Did n't register my marriage legally in India. Came back to USA and filed for 2016 taxes as married filing jointly. Now want to apply for H4 visa and in need of marriage certificate. I have contacted sub-registrar in India and were told that we needed to be there physically and we cannot travel back to India at this point of time due to work and personal issues. Can I re-marry here in the USA and register it legally in 2018? Does it cause any problems as I filed for my 2016 taxes jointly.

And incase i cannot do above, what options am  I left with?
Thanks in advance !
