Do we have to get marry in a courthouse,even if he not from the u.s
Getting married in a courthouse is an option you have, but it's not the only one. I don't understand why you think you have to get married in a courthouse, or what it has to do with him not being from the US.
If he has permission to marry a US citizen, and permission to stay in the US, then you can get married in a church, the courhouse, in your backyard, whatever you want, as long as you have the legal documents and someone that can officiate.
What if he need to be legal to be in the US
Do we have to get marry in the courthouse in order for him to be a citizen.of the u.s and what if we I know someone who will marry us for free...
Getting married doesn't make you a citizen.
Please start at the beginning - where is he from, is he here in the US, and is he here illegally, or what is his status if not?
Yes he in the u.s working but in order for him to be a resident in the u.s he have to get marry.so do we have to go to the courthouse to get marry.and what if I know someone who will marry us for free...
People here aren't going to turn you or anyone in to Immigration, so it's OK to tell the facts.
As you have been told several times in this thread, no, what building you get married in doesn't matter. Why do you keep asking that? If the person who wll marry you (for free or not) is qualified to perform marriages, and if you have a marriage license, that's all that is required to get married.Quote:

Why wouldn't he be legal residence in the u.s if we got marry by someone who will do it for free... he have a I94 TO LIVE HERE
Erika, may I ask how old you are and who told you he would become a us citizen if he married you?
If you are a legal US citizen and both of you meet the requirements for getting married in your state, then it doesn't matter where or who (as long as they meet the requirements for officiating a marriage in your state) performs the ceremony, he will still have to go through a very long and costly immigration process.
He might even have to return to his homeland if his current visa runs out. Are you sure he has a visa to work in the US? The only I94 form I have found so far is an arrival and departure form.
United States Form I94
There is no easy button. There is no quick fix. There is no magic wand or word. There is just a lot of forms and red tape.Quote:
General Information: The purpose of Form I-94/I-94W is to record the arrival and departure information of all visitors to the United States. Most visitors to the United States need to apply for a visa before entering the U.S. unless if the person is a citizen of one of the 27 visa waiver countries and has a machine-readable passport. Citizens of visa waiver countries can enter the U.S. for up to 90-day visa-free. Regardless of whether the visitor is entering the United States under the Visa Waiver Program, or if he/she has a visa, all visitors must complete either Form I-94 (white) or Form I-94W (green).
