i met my boyfriend 7 months ago online and he’s american and well i really love him, i’m from another country and while i do want to marry him someday i know i have to see him irl first for a few years, so, if i ever marry him (an american) in my country, what happens?? i know i do not get a green card instantly but, like, our marriage gets registered in my country, does it get registered in the u.s too?? i am just curious, thanks!!

    Marriage to an American can be scary, and also exciting. First you’ll find yourself craving burgers and chicken wings. Especially on sundays. Some time after you’ll choose a favorite football team, based solely on the color of their uniforms. Then you’ll find yourself either completely engaged with politics, or completely ignorent of the entire process, except the general election. There is no in-between. Your appreciation of film and music may increase. Car culture may tempt you. Be wary of motorcycle interests. Be prepared to drive long distances during quick trips out. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to introduce me to your sister. Good luck, I hope this helps.

        Car culture is really something else. Everything seems to revolve around the fact you can just drive somewhere.

        Unfortunately the victim is public transport. In small towns it is just a service provided like it’s an after thought for the poor. Back in the UK I would take the bus and train everywhere and you’d rub shoulders with all types. In the US, there’s something off about taking the bus.
