1. You are both together immediately. Your wife's family and friends are able to attend your wedding without any delay.
2. Local marriage in a foreign country can sometimes be accomplished in 10 days, or less.
3. If you can prove that you are living and working in your fiances' country for a period of 6 months you can file directly with the consulate in your fiancees country which will speed up the process. However, you must be able to prove that you have resided in the country and worked for a minimum of 6 months prior to the application.
4. Since with a Spousal visa your wife gains U.S. legal residency immediately, future immigration work is substantially reduced. There is no need to file for the Adjustment of Status Application and wait for months during which time your wife cannot travel freely without obtaining travel parole to travel outside of the U.S.

1. Extensive supporting documentation is normally required of a U.S. Citizen to get married in a foreign country.
2. It is a two-step process, instead of one. First, you are required to submit a package for the Form I-130. Second, upon USCIS Notice of Action, you would need to send the I-129F Package. It takes time and a lot of patience from both of you.
3. This process is very document-sensitive which means that if you are missing a document, you may have to fly back to the U.S. in order to obtain a necessary document before the process can be completed.
4. All your documents must be translated into the native language of that country where you are planning to get married. The translation must be certified with attached apostle.
5. You may end up with more expenses for the marriage itself and Embassy visa processing charges and fees.
