Can i become a permanent resident if i marry my partner in washington but live in Ohio?

Under current interpretations of the U.S.C.I.S., a marriage is valid as long as it was valid in the place of celebration. Thus the present interpretation of U.S.C.I.S. should allow you to become a permanent resident in Ohio, a state that does not recognize same-sex marriages, as long as you were registered in a state that recognized them.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
