Get married in Mexico — it's a little more complicated than in Las Vegas, but much easier than in most cities in the United States and even more so in Russia.

If you plan your marriage registration in advance, it is quite possible to fit it into one week, which you will spend in Mexico. Americans are very busy, and therefore meeting deadlines is extremely important for them. But it’s more optimal to plan a vacation in Cancun for two weeks, so that after the wedding you can slowly pick up your apostilled marriage certificate. Of course, you can ask someone to obtain extracts from the registers in advance, and after registration, put an apostille on the certificate and send it to you. An apostille is important so that a Mexican marriage certificate can be submitted to the civil registry office of your country or to the authorities and consulates of other countries, therefore confirming that you are officially married.
After marrying an American in Mexico, you are unlikely to be able to obtain a spouse visa (CR1) from the US consulate in Mexico, but you will be able to obtain such a visa in another country. Once the U.S. spouse's petition is approved, the U.S. Visa Application Centers forward the case to the U.S. diplomatic mission in the foreign spouse's country of citizenship or residence. Now the US diplomatic mission in Russia has been forced to curtail the issuance of such visas, and immigrant visas are issued to Russians at the US consulate in Warsaw, which is also not at all easy to get to. But you have the opportunity to negotiate with the US consulate in a third country and, after acquiring its approval, transfer the matter of obtaining a CR1 visa to this consulate. The process is long, but quite feasible. In Mexico itself, when obtaining travel and immigrant visas, including CR1, US consulates require Mexican residence.
But sooner or later the difficulties will end, the newlyweds are able to reunite and live in the same country. And marriage registration in Mexico — just one of the first steps towards a long and happy life together. And the big plus is that you don’t need to spend a lot of effort for this step.
