marry someone from Iran.. how do I do this?

Question

So I have been dating this guy from Iran who is going to college here.. (America) he is on a school visa right now... But we REALLY love each other so much  we wish to get married. We have been together for a year.. He has just asked to marry me but I'm not sure how this works since he's already over here... However his visa is not permanent. How long is the process? Can we just go to the court house and file marriage license or is there a process.. I know I will prob call in the morning however its too late bow tonight and I'm impatient.. Haha. Just need to know..
1) can I apply or marriage licenses the same way I would do with an American?
2) how long does this process take before we can marry?
3) what all do we need to have?
Thanks so much in advance!

I don't mean to give negative advice but I would be careful with this relationship.  I hate to stereotype but many Iranians who are on temporary visas have a mission to find an american/canadian gal to marry only to gain access to the country.  Not to mention that their religion and their "ways" will be forced on you once you're married whether you like it or not.

There is a lot more paperwork and waiting time involved with Visas and if he has a common terrorist name he will be flagged, as will you.

Please do your research on his family and history before you make a big decision like marriage.  You don't want to end up pregnant and stuck.  Good luck

Hi Leah,
I agree with Meep Meep.

Btw, you were married and had two kids(boys) right? What happened?
