Marriage outside of Abu Dhabi and US

Hi JudithNolan,

Welcome to expat-blog!

I suggest you to get in touch with the closest US Embassy or Pakistani Embassy , where they might guide you through the steps to follow.

Best wishes,

David.

Hi, I'm a US citizen and my fiance is a UAE resident. We want to marry and live there since he has a very good job. We don't want to live in the US and fear it'd be to hard for him to acquire a tourist visa to US since he is from Pakistan. He can get me a residence visa in Abu Dhabi, but only after we are married. Does anyone know a country we can marry in that the UAE will recognize?

hi JudithNolan,
i am new in this blog, but seems you have similar problem with me, i hope you already solved your problem
if not, i guest you can come to Dubai and get married there. after that your husband will apply UAE resident for you. i am planning to move to Dubai too after married with Indian man who live in Dubai. I hope our marriage can be done succesfully this Spetember 2014

Thank you for you kind reply. We haven't gotten married yet. We both have to have a residence visa in Abu Dhabi to marry there. I think only one of you have to have one in Dubai. How I wish his job was in Dubai. Anyway, I guess we'll be waiting a while for him a US visa or me a job there... or go to South Africa.

If anyone has a suggestion, I would really appreciate it.

Can he marry in Dubai with a residents visa in Abu Dhabi?

Suggestions on how to get a job there? I have a business A level degree.
