American + Taiwanese Marriage in Taiwan

[nauy]

Hi Everyone,

I’m an American planning to get married to my Taiwanese fiance soon, with the eventual goal of both of us working in the US. While waiting for the green card (via I-130), my fiance prefers to stay in Taiwan, so we will get married in Taiwan, and she will remain there after the hypothetical marriage and I will come back to the US.

I found some instructions here for a US citizen, but it is for an American with an Alien Resident Certificate already living in taiwan.

Getting married in Taiwan - An Expatriate in Taiwan

My question is, does anyone know if there are any difficulties/roadblocks I might encounter in getting married in Taiwan on an American tourist visa?

Thanks! Cheers!

Getting Married! US Citizen to a Taiwan Citizen

Greetings everyone! Anyone go through the marriage process here recently? Here’s the plan so far: Flying back to Taiwan in 2 weeks to get married. Made appt with AIT to get that single affidavit form notoarized/signed Take the form to the Ministries of Affairs Pick it up next day, get the AIT form translated then notorized Get married and then register for the household registry. Get back on the plane and head back home and begin the visa process. Looking to do all this in 3 days, doable?

Congratulations,
Just know that the whole process will take a year or more.

I’ve just heard back from USCIS after a year…make sure your wife fills out the I-130A too
