Can a legal alien marry an alien?

In: Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration [Edit categories]

Answer:

If by "legal alien" you mean a "resident alien" (i.e., a foreigner with permission to live in the United States) and by "alien" you mean any alien, whether legal or illegal (undocumented), then the answer is yes. Generally, there is no citizenship requirement for marriage in the United States. What effect the marriage will have on the immigration status of the parties involved is another question.
