The US citizenship and immigration services website will help your family determine how to procede. the third link down provides a list of naturalization requirements. The second details the law dealing with the naturalization of family members. Usually if a person came to this country illegally he will have to return to his country of origin and apply to come in legally from there. You might also benefit from contacting a lawyer who specializes in immigration. I'm sure even the Legal aid societies in your area will have enough knowledge to advise you.

The best way to handle your situation is to follow the rules established by Congress and enforced by the INS.  Just be patient and you will gain you citizenship legally.  God luck....

a person who does that has no pride and is the type of person who will only ever use people. i'd suggest telling him you are no longer able to afford helping him. and you should contact the authorities if he is an illegal.

WOW you stepped in it this time. She is illegal, get her deported and take out an order that stops her from taking your child (an American citizen) you can do that I've seen it done in Virginia. I forget what it is called but if your lawyer doesn't know what to file ask him to ask another lawyer maybe one that has been around a while.

Contact 'ICE'.  Here's their website.  If you are in the US illegally, they will take good care of you.

Ok after they get married all they have to do is become legal!! If they are affriad things might not go well there are plenty of good immigration lawyers - they can seek help.\nSubmit all the paper work  with INS ( USCIS) and well for the working permit it should take no longer than 3 months, permit to trabel ( around 3 months) and non permanent green card about a year or so ( depending on the state they are in ) For more information tell them to visit www.uscis.gov \n\nBest of luck to you and them.

By adopting the child you are accepting legal and financial responsibility for the child. Should the two of you ever seperate or divorce, she can petition the court for child support from you. And you can petition the court for custody or visitation.\n\nIf you do not adopt the child you may (or may not) still be required to pay child support (depends on the laws of your state). And you may (or may not) be able to get custody or visitation.

i had a child from mexico that was here illegally through foster care.   it was a eye opener to a different culture and a better understanding of what she and her family went through here in the states.   i have more tolerance to slow down and listen and try to help when i communicate then i use to do in the past.   i had her for eight months and was down to the wire to adopting her rather then have her deported but at the last minute they found a family member in mexico that was able to take her and her siblings.   i miss her a lot out of all my foster kids.

Not legally, unless they have a good attorney and if they were legally here in the U.S., it doesn't sound like it though if this person was deported. What are you concerned with? If they tried coming back it won't be possible, unless this person tries many times.

I am not too sure, but I think what he can do depends on the situation that made him come here.  All I can tell you is he should contact Immigration Advisory Service and Citizen's Advisory Bureau as soon as he gets here.  Both of them know how they can help illegal immigrants and asylum seekers, so I hope they'll be helpful.    But it will be a long battle.  Good luck.

It's when a Mexican illegal alien gets knocked-up and drops the kid in the United States so the kid will be an American citizen by birth.  When they try to send her back she whines it's not fair to send her American baby back to a terrible place like Mexico so she should be allowed to stay here, collect WIC, AFCD, Food Stamps and Section 8 Housing for her little Americano.

Well 1st of all Congratulations!\n\n The child does need to be with the daddy I'm a firm believer is this I assuming you of age Okay base on the information I will be giving toward you an answer.\n\nOne tuff predicament huh!\nCall lawyer (ref) and get legal-aid Pro-Bone-O lawyer free of charge to low income people. If you cannot get the money for another one.\n\nNow if your child is born in Canada he/she will be a Canadian Citizen so if you do not wish for this to happen then come to the U.S. and stay with family when your time is near and have your child in the U.S.A. and then go back after the birth of your child this way you will not have all that paper work to do.

Well, if he isn't legally divorced, then she isn't legally married to him nor has she ever been.\n\n  \nShe needs to contact an immigration lawyer ASAP.
