The marriage may be valid, but once the person is deported, for any reason, he/she is guilty of "agrivated re-entry" if he/she ever returns to the U.S. The spouse is welcome to live with the illegal immigrant in his nation of birth as husband and wife.
They apply for a visa. Because they were deported, there may be fines and a long waiting period (3 to 5 years).
Yes, because you are abusing the laws of America
Yes the illegal would be deported and the U.S. citizen who entered into this fraud marriage fined and possibly jailed.
Once you are officially married to an American citizen, you can not be deported from the country, unless you engage in a criminal offense.
There is no way to get illegally married and then acquire any of the legal rights of marriage.
Illegal immigrants cannot become permanent residents or obtain citizenship by marrying a US citizen or any other means, such as having a child born of such a marriage or relationship. A person who is illegally within the US will be required to voluntarily leave the country or when apprehended will be detained and in the vast majority of cases deported. The exception might be if the foreigner qualifies as an asylee or a refugee under the current immigration laws.
The marriage is still legal. And deportation does not invalidate the marriage.
The marriage is still valid. If he has been deported and he remarried, and you can prove it, you may be able to petition a court to grant you a divorce based on the situation. He may also be subject to polygamy laws in his country. Consult a good attorney in your jurisdiction.
Yes he can still be deported. ______________________ To add to the previous answer. If you marry your boyfriend now, one of two things will happen: 1) he applies to Immigration for a visa to stay in the country (which may or may not be granted) 2) he is deported and must then apply for a visa to re-enter the country (which may or may not be granted) Immigration will consider the following: is it a "marriage of convenience"? - can you prove a long-term relationship? why is he being deported? - has he committed any offences? is he in the country illegally? You may end up having to decide if you would be willing to emigrate in order to be with your boyfriend.
yes if you can prove it * Entering into a fraudlent marriage in the attempt to receive permanent residency or citizenship is a federal felony. Both parties will be subject to investigation and interrogation if such an act is voluntarily or by other means brought to the attention of authorities. The penalty for being convicted of such an act is imprisonment (minimum of 2 years, average of 5 years) and fines (maximum $200,000, with the foreign national being deported after the imposed sentence and has been served and restitution made to the extent possible.
Talk to a lawyer: you can probably get the marriage annulled.
No state requires citizenship for obtaining a marriage license. The US citizen presents his US ID to the clerk. The non-US citizen presents his foreign passport. You pay the fee and they issue you the license.
