Marriage

Even if not registered, a marriage performed abroad still counts and should be dissolved. BC if not, a subsequent marriage in the US is not valid. When you get married, you sign a legal paper saying you've never been married. If you sign it without divorcing the overseas spouse, you can be in a world of trouble! Not handling an overseas marriage properly the right way can also jeopardize the whole future process for other Americans hoping to marry overseas.
