Yes, but not likely. They will still have to leave the country and face a 10 year ban based on how long they were here illegally.
Yes if they can prove the marriage is legit
Sorry, she can't.
Through the US citizen spouse can get green card after two years of marriage and after 3rd anniversary can apply for US citizenship using Form N-400.
No. An immigrant who is unlawfully present within the US cannot be sponsored for permanent residency or citizenship. They must voluntarily return to their country of origin or face deportation. After leaving the US the foreign national will be barred from applying for reentry for 3-10 years depending upon the individual's circumstances.
Yes. Paperwork. Lots and lots of paperwork to apply for citizenship. But luck must be on their side because final selections are done 'lottery' style and only a small percentage of those who apply are accepted each year. * Marriage to a US citizen does not guarantee permanent resident status or citizenship for the immigrant spouse. It simply upgrades the procedure priority of the applicant. Sure, he can go home, apply for entry through LEGAL processes and enter the country when he has been invited.
No, You can only become a citizen if you apply for you citizenship through immigration. Being a legal resident and married to an American citizen can and will not change your immigrant statics unless you go through the right process.
No. If he was illegal before, he's still illegal. He will need to go through the system to seek a green card. If he already has violated U.S. laws, he may never be able to seek citizenship.
Naturalization through marriage.
Apply for citizenship through the Bureau of Immigration.
Yes, they do. Why would an immigrant need to talk to INS about a marriage? Immigrant means they are already residing in the US legally as a immigrant.
Only way is through marriage. Child born in the US is a citizen already. Child can request residency for mother at the age of 21.
I may be incorrect with my theory, but from what I gather - I can serve in the U.S military as an immigrant and this gets me a green card... this then grants me U.S citizenship? Please correct me if I am wrong and/or could you please explain the ways i can get U.S citizenship through the military?
You should take care of your relationship with your wife and let the other stuff go. If the marriage is not working, you should do what other people do--ask her if she wants to work on the marriage and do what it takes to do so. Otherwise, you have to split. You cannot particularly hold her in the marriage if she is only there to be legal. Life is short!
