An illegal alien can become legal by filing documents with the INS. If the person can prove they have been here 17 years and never been in trouble, it could help them receive papers faster.

What paperwork would you need to marry your boyfriend who is an illegal alien and you are a US citizen and the only document he has is his birth certificate from Mexico?
He would need to apply and be granted legal permanent status before the couple could be legally married. I don't think you could marry him if he is illegal. Good Luck. You CAN marry an illegal alien. For whatever reason, it's legal to marry an illegal alien. You just need his birth certificate and proof of what state he lived in for the last 30 days prior to marriage.

If an American marries an illegal alien who is in the US illegally will the illegal alien become legal?
"if friend who lived in Romania who I love come here to visit and we get marriage because I truly love her what is the process for me and her to get her to stay what I need to do?"After you get married you need to file proper immigration papers available on the INS site. He/She will need to go back to their home country once their visa is up and await proceedings. Once the petition is filed and later sent to that persons local US embassy, they will contact them for the interview. Based on a real bona fide marriage it is a surety they will gain a permanent residency document and be able to come live with you in the US. Three years later they may apply for citizenship so long as both parties still have an active marital relationship.Be aware, however, that marrying a citizen does not automatically make an illegal alien eligible for citizenship. Specifically, a foreigner who illegally entered the United States and later married a citizen may only become eligible for legal status after leaving the U.S. for 5 or 10 years before returning.
