My guess is that the question is not really if a tourist can or can not marry a green card holder (of course she can), but whether there will be an immediate Immigration benefit for her. Unfortunally, not.

∙ 14y agoYes they can. However it takes about 5 years to do so. During this period the person with the student visa has to either maintain a student visa and stay in school or adjust their visa if graduating for example. Usually sometime during this 5 year period the resident alien becomes a citizen and at that time the spouse holding the student visa can adjust to a permanent resident.

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.

Can a legal permanent resident marry an illegal alien who was once deported after serving time as a convicted felon and if so will the illegal alien be able to gain legal status in the US?
Sure they can marry, but no felon from a foreign country can gain legal entry into the United States, much less legal status. They are persona non grata.

Does an illegal alien from guatamala become legal resident or cizen by marrying a US citizen?
Yep, legal resident. Citizenship takes time. I'll marry you. I should add you can not marry someone to become legitimate AND you still must file all the proper paperwork. In other words you must actually marry out of love and not for citizenship.

How does an illegal alien who was brought to the US as a 13th month old child also raise and educated all his life in the US marry someone in the US?
Legal status is NOT a requirement to receive a marriage license. You can marry a citizen, resident alien, or illegal alien- it doesn't matter (as long as the other person is of the opposite sex).
In the state of Florida is it illegal for a legal permantent resident to marry an illegal alien just so the illegal alien could get pappers and the legal permenent resident could get money?
Yes, as well as being a FEDERAL CRIME, it is immoral and destructive to the country. The legal alien also risks revocation of their legal status and deportation. If the illegal doesn't care enough to do things legally, who the heck wants them here? What kind of citizen (other than selfish, greedy and irresponsible) will they be?

>>>>>Marry him / her!!!
Is it legal if you are an Australian citizen and want to get married to an illegal alien in the USA?
I am not immigration lawyer or anything like that. But I believe that if it is very hard for a US citizen to marry an illegal alien in the US (because of all the paperwork and time that it takes and the legth of time, one year or more. Often the illegal alien will HAVE to go back to their country and start the paperwork process from there). That's why it seems to me that it would be even more difficult for a permanent resident alien to marry an illegal alien, but perhaps not imposible-- perhaps. That is assuming that you are a permanet resident alien of the US or have a similar visa.
