    Question: If married in Mexico is it legal in the USA?

    Answer: If it is a legal marriage in Mexico, then it will be legal in the US. The United States recognizes marriages from other countries, provided that you followed the marriage laws of the country you were married in. If you were not married according the the laws of Mexico, then the US would not recognize your marriage as legal.

    my boyfriend is illegal. he is married in mexico, but he wants to marry me here in the u.s.,without divorcing his wife in mexico. he is afraid to ask for a divorce because they have kids. maybe if they divorce she want let him see his kids anymore.do you think immigration will find out he is already married and not give his permits to stay here legally.

    You can legally marry at age 18 in the State of Nevada without parental consent, or any blood tests. The license will cost you about 40 dollars. You will need some proof of Id, CA driver's license is best, but a birth certificate is probably OKAY, last time I checked. Also, for all you 18 year old girls-- I did this when I was young, (and so in love). Now I'm diverced and struggling to finish my education. Thank god I was on the pill & I didn't get pregnant. My best friend also got married young, except her boyfriend cheated on her and now she has AIDS at 25. Think about it.

    I think you should really give this marriage a lot of thought. A lot of marriages end up in divorce because they were rushed. You are ready to spend the rest of your life with this one guy? There are so many people that you haven't met yet. What if the perfect guy is still out there and you haven't even met him yet? If this is the one, make sure you are truly happy and good luck gurl.
