The 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.

What do you do if your Visa expires if you marry a US citizen?
Someone can marry a US citizen on a travel Visa as long as it has not expired. The person also needs to give a reason that he traveled to the US on other visits, other than the sole reason for marrying and remaining a citizen.

What can a foreign national who is in love with a US citizen do when he is facing deportation due to an expired visa?
You have to make up your mind to either have her go with you or you will have to go to Immmigration and go through the red tape of staying with her. The sooner you decide this the better. Meanwhile, you could have her visit you if it's possible until all papers are finalized. * Legally the only option the non citizen has is to file an appeal regarding the deportation. Even so, it's not likely he will be allowed to remain in the US. Depending upon how long he has been out of status within the country the US citizen can apply for a fiance visa for him (assuming they want to marry). FYI, marrying a US citizen will not prevent an unlawfully present foreign national from being deported.

How can someone with an expired student visa who has remained in the US illegally for several years become a citizen?
Only way is to marry an American Citizen. Sorry but that is only way to remain in the USA. There are visas that are given in lotteries but for you that is too far away as you, I presume are fairly young. Warning, if you leave the US you will NOT be allowed to re-enter due to breaking Immigration Law by overstaying your student visa! They can't, because they have shown that they did not RESPECT the laws of the USA. Break the law, pay the penalty. In addition, marrying a U.S. citizen no longer guarantees the person will be allowed to remain in the country, or will be granted permanent resident or citizenship status.

Can someone with an expired student visa from israel seek a status to stay in the US and work?
Since the F-1 visa expired, they no longer have current legal status, so it is not possible to renew or get a new F-1 visa. A work or investment visa is out of the question because she would not be eligible for one due to her non-legal status. Basically, the only way to stay IN the U.S. and get legal status is by marrying a U.S. citizen.

By Personal experience... I got married to my Husband who was illegal here with an EXPIRED passport of his country and we still got the marriage License. All you really need is a form of id and the passport. You should be fine.hope that helped! Because even with an expired passport, we got a marriage license, but he had his id. :)
