Can a US citizen marry a Jamaican citizen in Jamaica?

[Marko]

If they have kids with some one else that does not lessen there chance at all..Actually it makes it better for the kids cause they can file the kids as well at the same time and if they do not they have up until one year to do so...

boy I wish you were right but..........
I have had two good acquaintances who got married in Jamaica and the spouses both had a child that wasn't from them.......
and the guys tried like heck to get the spouses and the kids into the USA for (3 years for one and 2 years for the other guy) and they both always got denied.......
and one of the guys tried another route afterwards and he's still paying for it today........
and the biggest problem is the affidavit of support.......you need a sizeable net worth to make it happen when children are involved....
an affidavit of support is legally enforceable; the sponsor's responsibility usually lasts until the main family member can be credited with 40 quarters of work (usually 10 years).
so you are on the hook for ten years if things don't work out......it can become quite costly if it doesn't work out plus going to court etc is no fun.....quite a mess

With doing a K1 they can not work right away and there is a possiblity that you will all will have to go through an entire interview all over again some couples do some do not.

there is no holdup on working for my spouse when wi did the K1.....
the US government must like them working right off cause it's more tax revenue.......lol

IIf you decide to do the CR1 (get married there) once he has the interview and gets approved as soon as your spouse gets here he can get his social security and look for a job and start work...

there is just as much work for a CR1 if not more than a K-1 on the US end.........
the K-1 is the streamlined process and that is why we and most people take that route.....it's less work....

as mi said......mi have been der and done that......and it's not for the light hearted......
