kewldude1985 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 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 ! Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Before getting in to any trouble discuss the matter with the firm of Murthy or any of your choice. It is mandatory to register the Marriage In India. Of course Money is a powerful motivator in Taluka level Offices in many cases. Link to comment
