Marriage to illegal immigrant?
373276
Does your fiance have any papers, wherther authentic or not? He can try and acquire a social security number; even though it might not be too legal, it's probably his only option. I know an illegal immigrant that uses a false s.s. number, and he even managed to get a credit and buy a house. \nFirst, he DOES have to see a lawyer because a lawyer might know how he can get a marriage licence without any documents. After you get married, he can easily get a green card just by filling out form N400 (I think, i'm not sure). If its not that form, it is one of the forms that can be found on www.uscis.gov\nYou definitely need to consult a lawyer, and you should look over the website I mentioned above for more information. By getting married to you he will definitely acquire legal documents, but I am not sure on how the procedure of marrying him would run.\nGood luck

It depends on a lot of factors.\n\nThere is a very strict procedure in obtaining citizenship through marriage.  First off a couple must file the appropriate paperwork with the INS prior to the marriage.  Once authorized there is usually a 90 day window to get married.  It can then take up to five years to be issued with a green card.  These last ten years.\n\nOnce the alien has a green card he/she can apply for citizenship.  It is easier to obtain citizenship the longer you remain the United States.\n\nIt is a complicated system and the best advice I can give is to seek out an immigration attorney and have a consultation.  There are so many loopholes and pitfalls in the system and a maze of paper work, forms, conflicting advice and fees.\n\nThe days are long gone when marrying an American made you a citizen.

Sorry, there aren't too many options.\nAbout the only thing I can think of is to set him up with one of your friends & then he can marry her instead.\nOther than than... he can apply for re-entry after he's deprted. He'll probably have to wait at least 10 years though since he's being deported.

Forever. I think you probably promised something like "til death do us part", right? Marrying just for citizenship is illegal, if I'm not mistaken. As is falsifying a marriage license (it's a government document)

Overcharged or not, we didn't mind paying the fees in order to be together, the price is worth it. I mean instead of having a lavish wedding just pay the immigration fees and enter legally, who needs the headache of doing something illegal?

Ask yourself why is it he is so in a rush to get married is he an illegal immigrant, does he want you for your money, what because that is kinda strange to me to.\n\nLook marriage is a committment for life a vow that should be cherished between two people until the day each die you need to sit and make sure this is the right man for you because if he loved you their would be no reason for him to just run off and want to get married he is in some kind of trouble.\n\nI am quite sure you want a nice big wedding and your family their if you run off what is your family going to say and how are you going to feel so take a minute and think about it and question him if you need to

if you're marrying a u.s. citizen, it is not an easy process. my sister married a man from the UK and because they married he can't return to the UK for three years in order to gain citizenship.  in addition, they had to do tons of paper work to make his stay here legal.    but, congrats to you and good luck with all the craziness of an international wedding

Assuming you're a US citizen, then there's no consequence that I'm aware of. As long as your marriage is (provably) for love and not for the express purpose of getting a green card, I don't think the sponsoring US citizen has violated any rules.\n\nUSCIS will probably interview both of you, ask for lot of documentation and do a thorough job in verify ing that the marriage is genuine. \n\nIf they suspect the marriage is for GC only, they will probably not allow the GC to be given. If they can prove it, then you'll very likely BOTH be in trouble with the law. \n\nBut if it's a genuine marriage, and you live together all the time, have lots of joint finances, file taxes together, maybe have kids etc, then I think that's not a worry at all.\n\nI'm not a lawyer; I'm only a slightly informed person attempting to add some info.

i am illegal too. but i am looking for a lady to share my life with. i do not need any permit. lady, if you realy loves him, do not think about what others are telling you. relationship is not a football match where people come to  watch . keep your love affairs to you self. i mean let it stay in doors. we are all illegals on this planet, that is why we die.

You can marry; but that won't make him legal.  In fact it may create problems.  He won't be able to adjust status or get a visa in the US.  He'll have to go back to his home country.   If he has a US marriage license for a period of time when he was not supposed to be in the US -- well, you can see the problem.

Acctually, the fine for being in the United States illegally is now $1000.00 dollars.  You will find that a lot of the cost of becoming a legal Resident Alien have gone up, since September 11.  I know of only one way for you to become legal at this point in time, and that is to find a U.S. Citizen who is willing to marry you.  \n\nMy wife just became a U.S. Citizen, but our circumbstance was a little different.  We met while she was here legally for school and then we were married....have been for almost 7 years now, have two kids and all that, so we never had to worry really about anything.  However, she did have friends at a clinc she was working at as an interpreter that had married illegal immigrants so we know a little about it.  \n\nAlso, depending on what type of Visa you came to the U.S. with, even after you do get married to a citizen there is a chance that you might have to return to your homeland for a period of 2 years.  \n\nThere is a lot of good information on the main Immigration websight, and I have listed this below.  Good luck.

As long as he is amerincan citizen it could be quite easy, before getting married you/lawyer/other expert need to request a fiance visa, once you receive it you have around 3 months to marry him and later on you will be receiving your green card. Every other way will take longer. You can search on yahoo for more information about fiance visa.

Curious, I have been following some of your questions for sometime now, even answered a few with my old account. This is just an honest advice, there is something very wrong with your relation. I don't mean to intrude, but if all of what you said is true, the least that can be said is that you are in a non trusting marriage and I can't see this ever working. On one hand, according to your accounts, he is in love with someone else (which apparently is not reciprocated). On the other hand, you seem to use the green card as a leverage on your relation. You keep putting off this decision (you said it yourself) and it would be frustrating for anyone trying to start a life with you. Even if he is fully committed to you and would decide to leave if your marriage fails, your attitude concerning this would destroy the relation. How can you marriage ever work?\n\nThe only way for you to ever know for sure, would be to let him get his permanent papers and see if he sticks around. Of course, it could (and probably will) backfire and he could dump you as soon as he gets them. Anyway, I think it is more than time that you decide, either one way or the other and stick with that decision. I hope you good luck either way.
