You should've applied for citizenship when you were married. What you need to do is obtain a visa. Now, since you were here illegally for 10 years, I'm not sure if you can apply to be a citizen yet, because you came here illegally. Read the United States government site to find out IMPORTANT information.
The resident would need to wait until becoming a US citizen until filing for residency for the illegal alien spouse.
Her residency will not even be asked about, nor allowed to be brought into evidence, as concerns custody, even if she were illegal. You prepare based on the whole of the case, not on this issue.
Yup
There is no such thing, if you're illegal you do not have legal permanent residency.
You can help an illegal alien become legal by helping them fill out the appropriate applications for residency and paying the needed fees. This will put them on the right track to becoming a legal resident or citizen.
Absolutely not ! If they were an illegal immigrant the first time - the're still illegal the second time ! Residency does NOT absolve you of your immigration status !
The illegal foreign national will still be required to follow the prescribed USCIS procedures. This could mean the person will be required to leave the U.S. and then apply for a visa for reentrance. A foreign national whether illegal or not is not automatically granted permanent residency or citizenship status by marriage to a U.S. citizen. Marriage will sometimes (but not always) change the priority status given to an applicant's request. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov
If there was illegal entry, then no, marriage doesnt make you a legal resident. You would need to file a 130 petition along with a I-601 waiver at the U.S. embassy/consulate in HONDURAS, and you would be required to appear there. If you had legal entry, then it would be possible to get legal residency through marriage to a citizen.
