The immediate effect is that the married couple now have no place in the world where they can legally live together. The solution is for one spouse to obtain legal Immigration status in the other spouse's home country. Foreign spouses of citizens are usually given preferential treatment for immigration. That is to say, it is usually easier for someone married to a citizen to obtain citizenship, than for someone who is not married to a citizen.

Can a legal alien marry an alien?

If by "legal alien" you mean a "resident alien" (i.e., a foreigner with permission to live in the United States) and by "alien" you mean any alien, whether legal or illegal (undocumented), then the answer is yes. Generally, there is no citizenship requirement for marriage in the United States. What effect the marriage will have on the immigration status of the parties involved is another question.

What can happen to you if you know of an illegal marriage?

If you marry an illegal immigrate, he or she will automatically become a citizen of the nation you reside in. This, of course, depends on if you are a birth or naturalized citizen of your respective country. If you are only a resident alien, both of you will have to apply for citizenship status in the country.


Can an illegal alien become legal by marriage to a US Citizen?

No, but the person you marry can sponsor your citizenship making it easier. It takes about a year, because the us citizen will be investigated and both people have to prove that it is a real marriage and not a ploy just to get citizenship.
