Yes, this is done all the time. Best to wait 60 days after the entry to marry so it doesn't look like you made a misrepresentation. File the relative petition and adjustment, work authorization, and Advance Parole travel document -- best not to travel on the visitor visa after you've married. You might end up stuck outside the U.S.

No. Not even marriage to the father grants gives you citizenship. You have to apply for naturalization.


If person got deported from US can his wife and kids stay legally in US or not?

It depends on the exact circumstances and the residency status of the various people involved. For example, if a US citizen marries a foreigner, they don't automatically lose their US citizenship. If that foreigner is later deported, the citizen is legally entitled to remain in the US. However, if the wife and kids are not US citizens but entered as dependents of a permanent resident who was later deported, the answer would be different (again: depending on exactly what their residency status is).

Is there any way to legalize yourself if you marry your permanent resident - green card holder fiance and you also have a US citizen baby together Will you be able to work and travel?

No, your fiancee would need to be a citizen to petition you. Moreover, if you entered the US illegally, then even if your fiancee was a citizen, you would NOT be able to legalize your situation. If fiancee was a citizen you would need to file a I-130 petition and file for a I-601 waiver at the US embassy of your home country, and you would have to go back to your country for the hearing. Such waivers are hard to get. Your citizen child will not help you. Suppose you entered legally and overstayed because you found out you were pregnant. The situation is different in this case. You would be able to extend yopur stay, get a visa initially, then a Green Card and then citizenship after 5 years in Green Card Status

If you come to the U.S. on a fiancee visa and get married to a U.S. citizen can you start work right away or is there a waiting period?

If you travel to the US on a k1 fiancee visa, you generally have to apply for a temporary work permit once you arrive. This may take a few months to process, so under normal circumstances, I would say that no, you can't legally work as soon as you arrive.


Can a Filipino still obtain a US fiancee visa even if she is already pregnant?

Who is the legally recognized father? The U.S. citizen? If not, it may be advisable to get documentation indicating she is legally permitted to have the child immigrate to U.S. An immigration attorney in the Philippines familiar with these particular circumstances is a good choice in this situation. http://www.dixonimmigration.com/index.php?pid=2
