What documents do I need to get married to a foreigner?
I am a US citizen and I wish to travel to Algeria this summer and get married. After the summer we want to move back to the US so I can complete my degree. What papers should I take there and what will we need to do to move back here?

The requirements for you to marry someone in Algeria are best asked to someone in Algeria. You need to comply with THEIR travel requirements to go there and get married. I am sure that you will need a Visa of some sort that permits you to travel to the Country. I do know that your passport must have more than 6 months of valid travel time on it in order to enter the country. many of the other travel requirements that I have read have to do with being a British Citizen. As forcoming back here, you will need to apply for a spousal visa for you new spouse. The best thing th at you can do is to speak with an immigration attorney in your area on the specifics and in putting in the paperwork. Congratulations and good luck.
