you can marry but it is no guarantee if they will become legal. You need to understand even if children are involved you are looking at time and money. if your spouse entered the country illegally they will have to return to their homeland at some point of the process (unless the laws change) and then depending on how long they have been in the u.s illegally, they have the option of denying them re-entry for up to 10 years. You need to know this.

∙ 14y agoNo, unfortunately an undocumented alien must have legal documentation before most people would be willing to marry you. If you can find someone to marry you, then you are in luck. You cannot simply go to the Justice of the Peace and apply for a marriage certificate if the person you would like to marry is illegal.

However, marriage to a permanent resident may assist the alien in their application to residency.

I believe you are not a resident alien at all, you are a alien, legally allowed to live and work in the USA for the duration of the L1 (up to 7 years) but you are not a "resident" There are many law firms who could answer precisely this question.
Are you still legal when marriage ends?
If sponsored by a spouse, who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, an alien may obtain permanent resident status through the use of a petition naming the alien as a direct beneficiary. Marriage is the tool by which this is done. However, if the marriage is terminated through divorce or annulment before permanent residence is granted, then the alien will not be eligible for permanent resident status by this affiliation. So the answer to your question depends on whether or not you completed your immigration status, if so then you will be seen as a legal resident.

How can you marry an undocumented alien and get a green card for him if he has been here for 3 years?
It really doesn't matter how long the alien has been here. It follows the same process. You get married and then apply to adjust the status. the fee would depend on how this person entered the country, legally or illegally. As far as I know it would take about six months for a temporary residency and then after two years you would have the final interview in which you would be given the permanent residency. good luck!
