Yes, all persons who are not "natural born" US citizens are subject to deportation when it applies. Even naturalized citizens can be deported, although the process differs depending upon the amount of time the person has held permanent resident or citizenship status.

∙ 12y agoFirst, When the INS catches the illegal alien, they WILL be deported. After paying a $1,000 fine, and waiting 3 to 5 years, the alien may then apply for a marriage visa, a green card, and citizenship in the US at the Embassy in his native Country. If the US Embassy determines that the alien had made illegal entry into the US "for the sole purpose of marrying to obtain citizenship" the applications will be refused.
Also note that in the US most states now require proof of citizenship when applying for a marriage license.

∙ 15y agoyes you can. Just because you married a US citizen doesn't mean you are safe from deportation, not even a green card guarentees that. You still need to go through the Immigration process and attain your green card before you are safe from deportation for being "illegal"

∙ 12y agoif someone is deported it is not always because of a felony. my boyfriend got arrested in April 2010 for having expired plates on his car while driving. they took him in and because the county works with immigration now they had an interview with them just because he was spanish. when they found out he was illegally here they held him even though he had bail. in october he was deported. i have looked into this and he only had a misdameanor. but he now has to wait the 10yr min. to come back legally. it is the same for everyone. he only got 10yrs which is the least amount but some with worse off charges get longer sometimes.

∙ 13y agoYes, of course. But why would you be so cruel to inflict your own banishment on someone you love? Someone did that to my daughter, making her believe living in his third-world country with him would be so wonderful. Well, that fantasy vanished within a few days of marriage, and there are no words for the misery she has to bear now. Be a real man and walk away.

∙ 15y agoThe answer depends on the reason he is being deported. Also if the couple can prove to an immigration judge that the marrige is real.

∙ 10y agoYes, you can be deported. Marriage does not confir any type of immigration or visa status.

∙ 12y agoYes, you can be deported. I am a Japanese citizen who went to the US when I was 1 1/2 yrs old. I have 2 children and a husband, all US citizens, but I was deported for life last year.

∙ 12y agoNo. You first have to go thru the permanent resident 'green card' process. Then you have to go thru the citizenship process.

Once you are officially married to an American citizen, you can not be deported from the country, unless you engage in a criminal offense.
If you married someone that was deported and then got married without divorcing the deported person is it legal?

If an illegal immigrant overstayed his visa for 4 years and then married a US citizen can he apply for change of status without the risk of being deported?
Marrying a US citizen does not automatically make the other person a citizen. Spouses of US citizens can and do get deported everyday. Send him back home and apply for him while he is not in the U.S.

Deported

It can indeed, at any point if the british/american embassey find out or have any reason to belive that the person in question has married into the country, they can be deported and get a maximum life time ban from the country in favour.

If you were born in US but your family is illegal?
A person born in the United States is automatically an American citizen. Although immigration officials could potentially take action against a citizen's family members who are in the country illegally, and each particular case varies, a citizen cannot be deported.
Deportation reasons in Canada?
if a person is legally married with kids can he be deported because he has law issues?
Do you have to be deported in the Canadian army?
This question doesn't make sense. Deported means made to leave the country. And that means the person was not a legal resident of Canada. You can only join the Canadian army if you are a citizen.
If a citizen marries and applies for a green card for the spouse and the spouse comes to US and is abusive how can the citizen send this person back?
Contact the INS. They would be able to help you. The person cannot just be "sent back" simply because the US citizen has changed his or her mind about the marriage. If the person has the conditional green card, the US citizen can refuse to file the joint petition to remove the conditions, but that does not guarantee that the person will not be able to obtain the permanant greencard. Once a person has legally immigrated to the US, it takes a lot for him or her to be deported. Any US citizen can bring a person to the US, but he/she cannot have the person deported for personal reasons. Marriages fail every day. Whether the ex is allowed to stay in the United States or not is not the concern of the American spouse, but of the INS officer who gets assigned to the case.
