Will your boyfriend be deported if you were to marry him if he entered the U.S. legally over 15 years ago and has committed one felony that he is now serving time for?

A foreign national who is convicted of a felony will be deported after they serve their imposed sentence and in most cases permanently barred for applying for reentry into the US. Marriage to a US citizen, if allowed will not alter the penalty, the person will still be deported and barred from the US.


What happens to an illegal immigrant who defies a judge's orders?

The same thing that would happen to a citizen, the person will be taken into custody by authorities and jailed in a local and/or state and/or federal facility. The difference between the citizen and the immigrant obviously would be that after the unlawfully present immigrant has served the imposed sentence(s) he or she will be deported and permanently barred from entering the U.S.

If a person has been in the us illegaly for 10 years can they get married without getting deported?

They can certainly get married. There is normally no requirement to prove citizenship to obtain a marriage license. It does not mean they won't get deported or that they automatically get citizenship.


How can a foreign national who remained in the US for more than 5 years after their visa expired obtain legal status without marrying a US citizen?

AnswerThe INS is now the Immigration and Custom Enforcement (I.C.E)You need to be careful! The INS is out and looking for illegal aliens! If they find you, you will be deported to the country that you are originally from. I am from a small town that has alot of illegal aliens and they all thought that they would be safe there, and that INS would not find them because it is such a small town. Well guess what?! They found them and 70 some illegal aliens were sent back to where they were from. Even if you are illegal and you get married to a US citizen, you are still illegal. Getting married does not make you a legal citizen of the US. I know because I married a legal alien and he still had to go to the INS to become a US citizen. Marriage to a US citizen does not confer permanent residence status or citizenship.The US citizen spouse can no longer apply for any status for a spouse who is unlawfully present in the US.Because of the length of overstay cited the unlawfully present foreign national is subject to deportation and will be barred from applying for legal reentry for the required 10 years.The exception is, if the foreign national qualifies for refugee or asylee status.United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.govImmigration and Customs Enforcement, http://www.ice.gov


If someone marries a person to give them US citizenship how long do they have to remain married?

Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT confer citizenship nor does it insure permanent resident status for the immigrant spouse. It does change the priority in which either issue would be handled by the USCIS. Marrying a foreign national for the purpose of said person gaining residency or citizenship is a violation of federal law. If a "marriage of convenience" is proven the penalties are severe, both could face criminal charges carrying a 5-year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine. In addition after serving his or her sentence, the immmigrant spouse would be deported and barred permanently from entering the U.S., and the citizen spouse would have a criminal felony record.


Is it illegal to marry a US citizen for the purpose of getting a green card?

Entereing into a fraudulent marriage of convenience to obtain permanent residence status and/or citizenship is a federal felony offense. If convicted both parties are subject to a maximum sentence of 5 years in a federal facility and a $200,000 fine. After serving the imposed sentence the foreign national will be deported and permanently barred from reentering the US. If the citizen spouse is also convicted he or she will have a permanent record of a federal felony after serving the imposed sentence. Marriage to a US citizen no longer guarantees permanent residency or citizenship to a foreign national who is unlawfully present within the US.


How long after marrying a citizen and becoming a citizen can that person remarry an illegal alien?

The issue of divorce may in fact be irrelevant. The USCIS/ICE is no longer recognizing all marriages between unlawfully present foreign nationals and US citizens as valid. When the foreign national applies for citizenship immigration officials will do an in depth investigation as to the legality of the marriage. If it is found that the union took place for the sole purpose of the foreign national to gain permanent residency or citizenship, both parties can be charged with a federal felony. The penalty to all involved parties for being convicted of entering into a fraudulent marriage is a maximum of 5 years in a federal facility and a $250,000 fine. The convicted illegal immigrant will be deported to his or her country of origin and permanently barred from reentry into the US. The US citizen will have a permanent criminal record of having commited a felony offense. That aside, naturalized citizenship can be revoked (denaturalized) at any time for many reasons including the divorce of a citizen spouse, therefore a time limit does not really matter.


If an illegal alien is barred for life from the US due to going to prison 15 years ago for drug charges but reentered the US and got a US citizen pregnant and they want to wed can the bar be revoked?

Your criminal history and all the charges against you will never be changed simply because of the fact that you are married to a US citizen.


If a person is deported will they be able return to the US?

Any time a foreign national has been deported and attempts to return to the United States he/she is guilty of "agravated re-entry" and upon conviction will be sent to Federal prison for a period of not less than 1 and not more than 10 years. * If the question refers to a person who has not been permanently deported, then the answer is yes; the person can, after the required time period has elapsed, apply for legal reentry into the US. A foreign national who was unlawfully present within the US for 12 months or less and is deported is barred from applying for reentry for 3 years. A foreign national who was unlawfully present within the US for more than 12 months and is deported is barred from applying for reentry for 10 years.

What would be the best thing to do if your wife has been deported and has been given a 10yr bar she has never been in trouble with the law here her husband a us citizen and she has a 1yr old us child?

They can't bar foreign nationals without some grounds to do so unless they are a threat to national security or the safety and welfare of American citizens. You can consider filing a suit against INS for unlawful banishment of someone when she's got no record or any grounds and reason to be banned from the country separated from her child and husband. * A foreign national who is or was unlawfully present in the US can be deported and barred from applying for reentry for a specified amount of time or permanently. A person who is unlawfully present in the US for 12 months or less is barred from applying for reentry for 3 years. A person who is unlawfully present in the US for more than 12 months is barred from applying for reentry for 10 years. He or she does not need to commit a criminal offense to be deported if he or she were not in the US under legal status. Marriage to a US citizen does not constitute legal status to an illegal immigrant even if said person has a child. Goverment agencies such as USCIS, ICE, etc. cannot be sued. The best option is to contact a qualified immigration attorney to discuss what action might be applicable. US Immigration Support, http://www.usimmigrationsupport.com
