I’m an American girl & my Love is a Belgium man. I want to marry him & move there.I have no idea how to start!?
I have a year and a half to go before I graduate with my MFA in Design Management. I rent an apartment, don't have a pet nor many things. He recently got a good job and bought his family’s house (and has a cat their too! :) ) My father is ill so we will be getting married in my hometown and then move to Belgium. (we were told that would be better anyways paperwork wise) I have student loans and will have a very fancy degree so I would like to be able to get a job ASAP once I graduate and move. Also I am a bit paranoid about heath care (I don’t want to be stuck with medical bills if something happens to me epically just in-case we have a family a little earlier then we plan. ) I also have some assumptions. I am assuming I will need a new Belgium divers license and have to retake the test? I am assuming once we get married all the visa stuff wont be toooo traumatic, but I am getting conflicting reports about that once I am married I get I am streamlined to get citizenship but some places say no! I would also kind of like to have full legal rights if I am making a place my home for most likely the rest of my life. I am assuming he does not have to-do anything but actually marry me? (He has been reading and asking to and he is confused as well) But how do I start getting a visa!? Who do I talked to first and what questions do I ask? (who do i actually talk to!) And then, I don’t have allot of stuff! But how do I go about actually moving there! (Shipping stuff and so on) just! It’s over whelming, any help is really welcome! oh! I am living in GA, (usa) and i will be outside of Gent (Belgium) for a week in a month to see him again! P.S. He is my darling and I would move to Timbuktu to be with him but I am glad I am not because I suspect that would even be more paperwork! We are both in our mid20s, (we have known each other for years though! And I swear our story plays out like a slow-motion romantic comedy) I have never been arrested, nor married before (nether has he) He speaks English and I am learning Dutch (very slowly :( and his family is Flemish so french will come latter!) We should be married by the time I move there. But once I move there I will be there for +10 years to a lifetime! But I have just a little less then a year and a half left till then!

An enchanted couple...first start at the Belgium Consultant for rules of immigration, travel, marriage and getting a passport etc. then learning French might help but you guys are in love so talking is the least of ways you are communicating, ask him about the things you need to do and have him create a lists of do's and don'ts.
