It all depends on the status of the person right now, and why they want to deport him.  \nEven if he is married, if he's not applied for the marriage visa, then that is same as still being illegal, so in that case, unfortunately he can be deported.  Also if he has applied for the visa and has been rejected, and has not successfully appealed, then the same thing can be said.  \nYet even though he once was an illegal immigrant, if he is legally married to an English girl now for 6 years, then he should well qualify for the marriage visa. So if he's not applied for it before, then he must apply now as soon as possible.  And he must prove them that he has been legally married to this person for 6 years now, and the marriage is still in continue, and him and his wife live together.  \nHome Office should not deport him because he was an illegal immigrant once, as long as he has the right status now.  So, whatever the reason for them to trying to deport him, he definitely needs to speak to a immigration lawyer to sort it out.  There are many agencies that can settle down cases on no visa no fee bases, so try asking help from those.  Check TNT magazine and its website for their adverts.  Do not speak to Home Office about it, as they are least likely to be helpful.\nAnd those are some links that might be useful.\nGood luck.

My wife is Philippina and we are trying to get her visa.  It is taking a long time.  I don't care what country you came from, if you are legal.  If you are illegal, you are breaking the law, end of story.  When My wife and I lived in Japan, we had trouble getting a visa for me.  So we both left.  Because If I had stayed I would have been deported if I had been caught, and so would my wife.  Regardless of the fact that she had a visa.  Breaking the law is breaking the law.  Don't complain when you are caught.

It's not likely to happen depending on the crime. The person will have to reapply for a Visa and if it was drugs or something else serious, then we won't let them come back. No offense but I think we have enough to deal with already with terrorist cells and our own criminals. Why would you want to bring someone here who was deported for a crime they committed in this country in the first place? I believe in second chances but I'd have to know the circumstances of the crime as well as the charge before I'd even consider telling you HOW to bring them back into our country. Sorry.

You situation is complex and will depend on several factors relating to your marriage situation and the Nationality of your child. You need to find a qualified immigration lawyer to help you. Go to the following website www.OISC.gov.uk the level of advise you will need would be Lvl 2 upwards so you need to find an adviser who is qualified to give the advise you need. I would recommend a lawyer that specialise in immigration law. \n\nbest of luck \n\nmgi1975

she MUST get divorced before she can marry you. no matter what country she was married in it is recognized as legal in this country. if she married without first getting divorced she will be comitting bigatry. after she is legally divorced you can marry here in the us. if she is entered without inspection then you will have to file the I-130 and all other papers they send to you plus pay fees, wait for your interview in mexico at which time she will be denied for the illegal presence, you will submit the I-601 and a hardship letter. You will return to the u.s. and she will have to stay in Mexico to wait out the rest of the process. Current wait times in Mexico for I-601 waivers are 3-6 months. This is the current process if she entered without inspection. If she entered on a visa and just overstayed her welcome then after you marry you will still file the I-130 and other papers but she will be allowed to adjust her status in country and she will not have to leave and will not have to file the I-601 waiver. Hope this helps but make sure she is divorced first.\n\nGood luck

It is not a matter of how long, they still have to apply for citizenship,  we have two friends who married someone from oversea, the one has been trying for 4 years the other 5 years, and neither have made it yet

It used to be an automatic green card for the illegal. However, after it was realized the extent of the abuse, the laws changed.\n\nI have a best friend who is fighting the deportation of his wife. She has been in the country illegally for 8 years, and they have been married for 6. She got caught and is probably going to be sent back to Guatemala. She can, however, apply to enter the country legally once she is back and a good, solid, long-lasting marriage to an American citizen will surely be an asset in that application.

I think Godzilla made it quite clear. If they officially divorce less then 2 years after the immigrant spouse got their green card then the immigrant spouse will automatically loose their immigrant status and must depart the country. The US citizen spouse can notify USCIS of the divorce. \n\nIf the immigrant spouse does not leave the country in a set period of time (30-60 days I belive) after the divorce, they will be deported.

As soon as your wife's I-94 expired in 2000 (6 months after she entered) she was here illegally.  She is still considered an illegal alien today, regardless of her marital status.  She needs to file for an adjustment of status with CIS.  No matter how you do it, it will be a difficult process, as she will be put into deportation proceedings.  Assuming she has no criminal background, and you are an American citizen, and the marriage is legit, she should be granted relief by the Immigration Judge.  That means she will not be deported, and she should get her green card.  \n\nThere is no pain free way to do this, you just need to contact CIS and get the ball rolling.  The sooner the better, because if she somehow comes to the attention of Immigration or other law enforcement, her problems and headaches will just be compounded and the legitimacy of her claims will be questioned that much more.

No he is not. And if he has overstayed his visa he should be reported to the nearest immigration centre with a view to immediate deportation.

youi will have to go through a process just like the states to prove the marriage isnt a sham and I dont think england has dual citizenship which means that you'll only become a british citizen if you give up your u.s one

First, someone with a greencard isn't a citizen, they're a resident alien. They are legal, but not citizens.\n\nSecond, yes, they will be deported because they violated the terms of their green card.

no if she leaves she is not automatically allowed back in it all depends on her immigration and residency status.\nThe citizens advice bureau will be able to tell you the laws on this and can tell you places to go for help, it is free to go to and a translator can be provided if needed

If you married a US citizen AFTER your visa expired, you may still be deported as the marriage will be seen as fake. \n\nYou will NOT automatically be allowed to stay just because you married a citizen. You still have to apply and go through the whole long process.  The usual process is for the foreign spouse to remain outside USA and the US citizen to apply from inside. Yes you will be separated, but that is how the process works - no exceptions. \n\nTo those who say that things will improve once you marry a US citizen - they are wrong.

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.
