Can a US citizen marry a non-resident in country on a B1/B2 visa?

Will she need a social security number to get a marriage licence in Kansas? After marriage, will she be able to apply for a work permit immediately? What is the average time for a work permit?

Answer:
I don't live in Kansas to begin with but i am sure the process won't be any different.

You can marry anyone despite what visa she has. she won't need social security number to get a marriage license but what she needs is a valid pasport and her origin ID, in this case, Birth Certificate (translate in English).

Yes, she can apply for work permit immediately after marriage. You and her can get the form and file a paperwork at your nearest Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).

It takes less then one month after you submit the paperwork and the INS takes her finger print. The first working permit is usually temporary good for 2 years, then you can apply for Permanent Resident Card (Green card).

When she gets her working permit, then she can apply for Social Security Number.

If she does that she'll be out of status.
yes, happens all the time, as long as there was no intent to marry at the time of entry, if so then you could be denied or requested to submit a waiver of inadmissibility. should submit the I-130 and I-485 with supporting forms and documents, could get work permit in 2-3 months and conditional resident status in 5-8 months.
