You can easily get married in the United States. Be sure to register your marriage with the Indian Embassy in Washington, DC or the Indian Consulate in Chicago…

After you get married you can file Form I-539 with the USCIS. Your wife’s International Student Adviser at the school should be able to assist you. Since you CANNOT work on an F2 visa your wife will have to prove that she is financially able to support you.

You can find the Form I-539 here…
