you will be charged with fraud, they will be deported and not allowed back into the USA and you will be fined and probably go to jail for a long time.  You will also be on an IRS watch list.  DON'T DO IT!!!!!!!

You'll be deported immidieatly if your are an alien, also you will never be allowed to enter the country again.\nIf you are a local you have to pay a hefty fine, at the worst you'll loose your hands.

Even worse, they steal our ss#.  I have a friend who just found out that his ss# was stolen - the IRS audited him and wanted back taxes for a job he never worked over in AK.  We live in Texas.  After much  investigaion - he has found out that an illegal alien got ahold of his ss# and has had several jobs in the US - all pretending to be my friend.  He has both the Texas and AK DA's investigating.

Thank You,someone else in my situation.My husband,too,is illegal.He got stopped at the border and immigration let him in america after 3 mos in jail.And he is mexican also.They gave him a social security card(for all those who think "mexicans" steal them)and a temp. visa.He met me and never went back.We pay our taxes ---- alot of them,and with HIS social security#.Property tax,insurance,dental,medical(for us and 4 kids),we pay it all.My husband supports 2 of my kids who aren't even his-they are white.Their boilogical father has nothing to do with them and we were married for 5 yrs.My husband is a great man,and is way better than alot of legal/born americans.When we can save the money,he will get legal(hopefully).Until then,he works,pays taxes,and doesn't get welfare.And uses his own ss#.Hope it helps to know someone else like you.

That is ILLEGAL you can go to jail. If the person's Credit Card Company is nice then they may give the money back,

He'd serve his time and get deported.  He MAY be prosecuted by the federal government for crossing the border illegally too.  Who knows how long before he got back across the border.

No it doesn't work like that.If you are here illegally you have to try and become legal.If you are married to a citizen it gives you better chances.\nNow in the UK if you marry someone from another country you are instantly granted citizenship of the coutry of the person you are marrying.

As someone who was an alien that married a US citizen I am probably an EXPERT. (I'm a citizen now) Yes, my marriage is genuine and our daughter is kind of proof, right?\n\nWhat do you want to know? Lemme see...\n\nWell, there are several controls in place that make it unwise to marry an alien purely to give them legal status...\n\n1. It's probably foolish for a foreign visitor to come into the country on a two week vacation, get married, and expect to stay. The rules say that they must apply for a K-1 visa while outside of the country.\n\n2. Add to that the fact that you must prove that you have met your future spouse before you can apply for the visa. So at least one visit in person, go home, apply for a visa. That would be enough to put a lot of people off.\n\n3. The citizen sponsoring the alien must be financially able and financially willing to provide support. If the alien is unable (disabled) or unwilling (lazy) to find/keep employment, the citizen is responsible for them. To feed them, clothe them, medical, dental, the whole show. There is no welfare for an immigrant in process.\n\n4. After being submitted to several medical tests, and proving that they are not a criminal, the alien must then partake in the obviously dangerous pastime of marrying someone they don't really wish to be married to.\n\n5. During the process of obtaining 'Permanent Residency' there is the interview (made famous in the movie "Green Card") where you must demonstrate that you are a real couple in a real relationship. Seriously, the woman that interviewed us said that she can tell almost instantly by the lack of pertinent body language when a couple are engaged in a fraudulent marriage. The one with two guys, one in ladies' attire, was the best anecdote she had for us. My wife was pregnant (and showing) at the time of our interview so we got off easier than most.\n\n6. This process takes anywhere from three to four years, depending on whether foreign terrorists take out certain Manhattan landmarks or not.\n\n7. It costs a lot of money to work through this process. Every application costs money, and they don't make it cheap.\n\n8. It's very time consuming on the part of both parties. It's boring waiting in a DMV-style room for up to 8 hours, only to be confronted by staff who make DMV employees look like Disney employees.\n\n9. It's awkward having to keep appointments that are forced on you, at the risk of having to start all over again if you fail to show. And believe me, you want to get there early to avoid the crowds.\n\n10. You have to live together the whole time. The risk of not doing so is the risk of being deported.\n\n11. If you are discovered, and this is the fun part, several things will happen. The alien will be deported in the most humiliating way. While waiting to be flown/shipped/freighted out (a la cattle), they will be "detained" (fancy word for put in a cell). The complicit co-conspirator risks very large fines and/or prison. The alien foregoes any future attempts to enter the country ever again. Period.\n\nSo, what do you suppose the final reward that they bestow upon every successful new citizen might be? No idea? They make you watch the articulate President fumble through a not too believable 'welcome' speech. Wonderful.\n\nThe risks then are really quite small. Risking prison is not clever, but in reality it's more of a scare tactic and less likely to come to that. The risks to the alien are greater as they will ultimately be unsuccessful as well as killing all future attempts to become legal. If done right there is no reason that the whole sordid business wouldn't work. But, really, who wants to live with someone for four years just for a rapidly diminishing financial reward, much less just to do someone a favor?

It's ILLEGAL to marry ANYONE just to get into their COUNTRY.\nIf you do, and are found out later, you will be deported.\n\nTry applying for immigrant status instead, or find a job in the new country and apply for a green card or temporary landed status--- do it legally, and eventually you will be able to move.

You could always report them to INS (Immigration and Naturalization Services) if they are here illegally.  As far as your marriage goes, your HUSBAND broke up your marriage, not the other woman. Don't forget that.

well there is many problems in marrying an illegal alien first to get a marriage license legally would be imposable because of his legally status now you could get a fraudulent marriage license but that would make the wedding void in the eye of the state and the Federal government now in the eye of god that is another story but implication on you do not Begin until he tries to apply for perment residents in the country then based apon the marage then you start to have a problem because the weding is fedduling on his behalf

No if he was in the wrong neighborhood.  Yes if an illegal alien was just trying to get a car.

Yes and you should. Report him to INS and ICE also. All you have to do is mail the INS a letter with his data (name, age, nationality,..)& a short story about him and ill intention. Call I.C.E and speak to an agent over the phone & u don't even have to give information about yourself. BRAVO !\nPeople should report all illegals!

I am not blaming you but, if he was an illegal that should have been a red flag. I do however know that sometimes love can cloud judgment. His taunts and admission as to his motive for marrying you are admissible in court and easily enough reason to warrant a divorce. Just try to remember, you are losing a cheater a liar and a person who is emotionally and verbally abusive. His loss is far greater than your ever will be.

You'll likely be ordered to repay any benefits you illegally collected.  I think as long as you do that, you won't be in worse trouble.  However, if you fail to do that, I'm pretty sure there are criminal penalties you could suffer.

Unless you get a lawyer to contest the forfeiture it will happen.  They don't have to goto court under the law.  All they must show is that the money was tied into illegal operations.  This is a lower standard then finding you gulity of a crime.  If the money was tied into a drug business in any way, at any time then legally they can take it.
