    Re: Can a US citizen marry a Jamaican citizen in Jamaica?

    Thanks so much for all the feedback I really really appreciate it. I probably should have elaborated a little more when first posting my question...meaning give a little more background about my situation - for example I should mention neither of us have ever been married and neither of us have any children.

    At this point I am really just trying to get educated about the options so we can do what works best for our individual situation. I've explored the K1 visa option extensively and I think I fully understand that process. Now I'm checking out the other option. I realize either option takes time and of course money money money! Wish it could all fall into place tomorrow, but I have my patience hat on....not gonna jump into applying for this or that without all the facts.

    A couple other questions crossed my mind while thinking about all this.....

    - If US citizen marries a Jamaican in Jamaica does that change the length of time the US citizen is allowed to stay in Jamaica, beyond the current 6 month limit?

    - If US citizen marries a Jamaican in Jamaica does that allow the US citizen to legally work and/or open a business in JA?

    - If the couple decides they want to live in the USA is there any limit of time, after marrying, in which to file for the spouse visa(CR-1)?

    - If the couple decides to reside in Jamaica does the US citizen have to obtain Jamaican citizenship and if so, how would that affect their US citizenship?

    Thanks again everyone!!

    these questions are great for someone on the Jamaican end of things.......
    most on here will be experiences from the American end of things......
    unfortunately you get a lot of people giving advice that have never been thru the process thus you get a lot of bad info.....
    best to consulate an immigration attorney........be money well spent.......
