Never, you are in trouble as soon as they find you've lived in the US illegally.
not really because the illegal alien must have to go through "naturalization" and must wait a few years while living in the united states like 7 years.
no
if the illegal alien has not been in trouble or been in detention, it is in there best interest to go home and apply for legal residency, it could take a couple years, but if you are caught here being illegal, you can be banned for re-addmision, deported , and cannot apply to come back for ten years
You must apply for his residency at the closest INS office to you. 3 years after approval he can apply for citizenship. Just make sure he did marry you for love and NOT papers. Good Luck!
He came as an illegal alien and spent several years legalizing his status.
Not necessarily, although such cases are decided on individual basis according to the circumstances.
Can an illegal alien who was deported and barred for ten years come back sooner by marrying an us citizen?
Get the hell out of our country is what you can do
Yes
Illegal immigrants are not eligible to obtain citizenship. They have to meet certain requirements (including legal residency requirements in most countries) before they could even be considered. -- Help me in the battle to conquer cancer. Please support my fundraising efforts at www.conquercancer.ca/goto/donate What steps does an illegal alien over 21 years old need to take to be eligable to apply for citizenship; do they need to return to their homeland to start process?
You can, but it wouldn't be advisable. The illegal alien can be deported at any time. It may even be impossible for them to get back to the US.
An illegal alien can become legal by filing documents with the INS. If the person can prove they have been here 17 years and never been in trouble, it could help them receive papers faster.
