It is possible for a Filipino in the U.S. on a tourist visa to marry an American citizen. Getting married is usually easy, but being allowed to stay in the U.S. can be more complicated in this situation and may require the help of an attorney.

If the person is already married in the Philippines, that marriage would have to be legally annulled first. You can then marry the person even if she or he has a tourist visa. As long as you are a legal citizen of the U.S.A, your new wife or husband will automatically become a citizen as well.

This question does not make sense with the word illegal. Nothing specific is illegal about being a Filipina on a tourist visa.

If the word illegal is removed, then yes, it is possible.
