illegal immigrant marriage?

Marriage got nothing to do with being legal or illegal. Any form of id is good enough for getting married. You can use your passport from your native country as a form of id. \n\nGetting a Green Card based on marriage is a different issue and being legal or illegal matters.\n\n"If you marry a US citizen you are eligible to file for Status change to get a Green Card provided you entered the US legally( through US customs/port)and you don't have any serious criminal records. If you have entered the country illegally you can not change your status based on marriage until congress implements new laws. Two different issues so don't confuse them"

Oh no I'm sorry you're having such a hard time.  I think the UK has to be seen to be toughening up on its immigration laws because the system has been so abused over the last few years and really is in a complete mess now.  Sadly it seems to mean genuine cases where the person is not breaking rules and is being cooperative are the ones being targeted because it's easier for officials to be tough on them.  There are so many illegals that come here and then after being refused permission to stay, disappear, that I suppose when they get the chance they make sure sincere cases can't do the same.\ni hope you get the resolution you want and that you and your fiance can live together happily

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

contact an Immigration Lawyer and be prepared for it to be a rough time...If he has been productive in this country and has done nothing else illegal there is a process to get him naturalized.  If you are married it will be easier so long as you are a citizen and not a resident alien...I give you credit for trying to be legal unlike all the others out there breaking the laws of a country they claim to love...

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)

It depends upon the person and the country.  If the leader is able to keep his or her mind open to what is best for the majority of the people rather than "my {religious text of choice} tells me that this is wrong so we're going to make sure it's illegal," there's not a problem.\n\nSorry, I'm having major problems with President Bush's view on same sex marriage right now.

Legally or Illegally?

You should really check with Canadian Immigration before you get married.  I don't believe just marrying her ensures that she can come.  It might depend on where she is immigrating from, whether she has a criminal record of any kind, ie, even so much as a DUI infraction.  I know a Canadian woman who married a man from Trinidad and she did eventually get him here but it took approximately 3 years.  Go to the Canadian Immigration website and check what it says there.  Also, might give them a call if you want to talk to someone there for further answers to your specific situation.

Talk to a lawyer about this .. immigration is sooo complicated..  My fiance and I had thought for years that he would be able to become a citizen but then we found out that he couldn't =(  I know that as long as they have a Visa.. there are ways to make them at least legal .. lucky.. lol

He does not have to go back. You can get married and it will be legal only he will not. I advise you to get married and then see an immigration lawyer. I just got married to an illegal and thats what we're going to do. I've heard if he goes back without any paperwork started they can impose the 10-year ban where he cannot come back. But I don't think that stops a lot of people. www.visapro.com has a lot of good info on this subject. I've learned some so you can e-mail me at angelsamorcito@yahoo.com if you have any questions. Oh and don't listen to the people here or family that matter who say that they are only marrying you to become legal. Its normally not the truth. My family told me the same thing but my husband also said it was neither here nor there for him. So Congratulations and Good Luck!

http://www.aila.org/\n\nHey RoseWithin; where did he say he was illegal?  He just asked for an immigration attorney.  Most legal immigrants need attorneys at some point in order to follow the rules.  We did!  Get off ya high horse.

I'm not familiar with California law, but I'd have to believe that to become married, both people must be living. So, the answer would be, Yes, it is illegal.

Under Immigration law the US Citizen files the petition for the alien spouse.  The US Citizen can withdraw the petition at anytime prior to the government granting the permanent green card.  A two year card is a conditional (or temporary) green card.\n\nBy him telling the immigration that your marriage was "not in good faith" he has done two things:\n\nHe has withdrawn his petition for you and:\n\nHe has put it on record that you knowingly committed fraud.\n\nWhile the government may not go after you criminally (there is a chance, but a slim one), you do not have status in the US and will be required to return to your home.\n\nIf your new boyfriend marries you, then you will be fighting an uphill battle in proving to the government that this second marriage was NOT in good faith.\n\nAn important factor will be the divorce record.  You "left him" (abandoned your first husband) and you presumably engaged in immoral conduct by having a boyfriend while still legally married.\n\nIn the government's eyes you are NOT a good person.\n\nYou could fight it )request a hearing before an immigration judge), but what PROOF do you have to counter the image the government now has of you?\n\nIf you lose, then you become a "previously deported alien."  Then there is I think a 5 year bar to re-entry.\n\nThe other choice is to go home on your own and after a "respectable" period of time (i.e. AFTER your divorce) you become engaged to #2, marry and then come back on a K visa.\n\nSince your conditional green card has already expired, you are now an illegal alien (an overstay).\n\nYou won't be able to be legally employed.  Your husband can complaint to the government that you are engaged in crimes (crimes other than adultery with boyfriend such as drugs - without proof) and if he convinces an ICE agent to do so, you will be picked up.  Or they could send you a notice to appear.\n\nBy the way, in addition to being out of status (offense #1), if you did not update your address with immigration you have committed offense #2 and possibly more.\n\nThis is time sensitive.  Your decision is go home on your own and return later, or go through immigration procedings and possibly be deported as undesireable.\n\nYour choice.\n\nAnd don't further your image with the government by lying.

That is so typical of the Government... Instead of taking care of our own and the Leagals.. it is all about Who is ILLEGAL... They get everything handed to them.. Medical, Schools, Free aid... and all the perks... We as American born citizens and the ones that have worked hard to come here the right way are treated like enemies..  I am sooo sorry that your situation is happening.. but it is like that everywhere... If you try to do it the right way you are punished... something is very very very wrong with our system.......... I hope they reconsider your case.. Good Luck... Know that there are some of us that are all for the people who are here Legally to start with.. I hope they let your Fiance stay... I hope you can get another Job.. I will be praying for you and your family... :)
