Re: Marrying a non-citizen

When you get married in Hawaii, your marriage will be recognized all over the United States, and in virtually any country. Now, getting your husband back to the U.S. may be a problem. How did he obtain a work authorization? Does he have a petition pending by a sponsor in the U.S. You had better make sure he is admissible to the U.S. or you may be disappointed about a wedding in Hawaii. Presuming he gets into Hawaii (you won't have trouble), but let's say he gets into Hawaii and you marry -- now you will be the spouse of an Australian, and, as long as you have evidence of your marriage, you should be allowed in with conditions. I don't know what they are, but you can easily check with the Australian Embassy. Good luck!
