I have been married for 10 years and then we went through the process, all we had to do was complete a I 385 form to request permission for him to be here. They were all aware that he entered illegally. I also did not have a lawyer. Anyways, the I385 form was sent to Nebraska and approved, but that wasn't the end yet, they sent his information to the American Consulate in Ciudad Juarez Mexico and we had to wait for an appointment with them to apply for his Green Card. We received a letter stating that he had an appointment on whatever date and that the appointment was at the Consulate in Mexico. We assumed that once we got there, we would get the Green Card the same day, but it did not work that way. We stood there for hours in a line and once we got to the counter, they told us that my husband would have to stay in Mexico for 12-15 months until his Green Card application was processed. And that is what happened, on the anniversary of the 15 months I received a letter stating that he had an appointment to go review the Green Card application, so he went and received his Green Card the same day and came back home. Once he got home, he was able to apply for a SSN and has been straight ever since.

How can a same-sex spouse fix the other's legal papers?
Effective June 26, 2013, an American citizen can sponsor a same-sex, foreign spouse for permanent residency. The process is easier if the foreign spouse has not overstayed a visa and has not entered the country illegally. If the foreign spouse entered the country illegally, he or she may be subject to a bar for re-entry to the United States. Many other countries permit citizens to sponsor same-sex spouses.

How does an American marry an illegal Mexican in Florida?
There are not laws that prevent a citizen from marrying a foreign national who is unlawfully present in the U.S. It is unlikely that an undocumented immigrant would have the identification required by state law, such as a SS#. Be that as it may, the citizen spouse would not be able to file an application for the non-citizen spouse's permanent resident status, because he was in the country illegally. The non-citizen spouse must return to Mexico and the required USCIS laws must be followed before he can legally reenter the U.S. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov
Can a person with dual citizenship US and Mexico get married in Mexico with his Mexican birth certificate and later petition for his spouse to come to the US?
A foreigner who marries a Mexican doesn't automatically get Mexican nationality, but they can apply for Mexican nationality after only 2 years instead of waiting longer. For example, a foreigner (not married to a Mexican) who applies for Mexican nationality on the basis of Mexican residence has to wait 5 years.

What can a US citizen do to keep her illegal immigrant spouse from being deported back to Mexico?
The citizen spouse has no recourse to the action as US immigration laws no longer allow a citizen spouse to apply for residency for an illegal immigrant spouse. The Mexican national will have to leave the US and file under the required USCIS regulations for reentry.
Is bigamy grounds for automatic divorce for first spouse?
Bigamy means that the first marriage is the legal one, not the second one. If you are the second spouse, you are not legally married. The first marriage still stands and your spouse needs to get it handled legally. The spouse that illegally remarried is also in some deep legal trouble. Bigamy is against the law! In my opinion, if you are the second spouse, get out of there NOW! And protect the assets your brought into this relationship before it's too late. Don't think you got a prize in this person who deceived you and the first spouse.
