Marrying In USA

Greetings!

Please can anyone help me with this predicament?

My fiance is in India and plans to come to the US on an L1 visa. We were hoping it would all get done before the end of July but it is taking forever.

So my question is: Can we get married in Hawaii? Me on H1-B (I-140 stage, Priority date Dec 2012) and he on a B1/B2 visa (India). He could visit for a month, we get married, then he flies back to India and applies for the L1.

Is this doable? Acceptable? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks much.

There is no prohibition to an individual present in the United States in visitor classification from getting married in the United States. It is advisable to seek the counsel of a qualified competent immigration attorney to determine if there are other immigration consequences from the marriage depending on individual circumstances.
