Get an Immigration lawyer . You need more reason than parentage to stay. You could always go home and emigrate legally. Or have a custody case filed to bring the child to Jamaica. In any case, a lawyer would be your best bet.

Can a US citizen apply for EU citizenship after marrying a man with EU and U.S citizenship?

None of the member states of the EU will allow you to apply for their citizenship right after the marriage. You must first get the permanent residence of the concerned member state and meet all the requirements (e.g. residence period, language ability and even renouncing the US citizenship if they require you to). After that you can apply for their citizenship.

Can you marry an illegal in Texas without him being deported?

It is possible for a U.S. citizen to marry an illegal immigrant if the immigrant has valid identification. However, marrying a citizen does not automatically confer permanent resident status or citizenship and is not a guarantee that the person will not face deportation. Such situations are assessed by the USCIS on an individual basis, for more information visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website at http://www.uscis.gov


How can an illegal immigrant become legal without marrying a citizen?

There is a misconception that marrying a U.S. citizen will automatically confer citizenship to the foreign spouse that however is not the case. The spouse will be given a different priority classification for obtaining permanent residency and/or citizenship, but the required USCIS procedures must be followed to apply for such status and the person must also qualify under the immigration laws. For example if the person has experienced legal problems such as a criminal felony conviction, marriage will not negate the affect it has on a USCIS decision. Information pertaining to laws governing an illegal foreign national' status can be found on the website of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov


If a person holding a US residency card marries a US citizen does that qualify them for US citizenship?

pretty sure it does No, marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer permanent residence status nor the assurance of being granted citizenship to a foreign national. It will change the priority level assigned to the foreign spouse's application for citizenship. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov


How can a U.S. citizen marry his common law wife who is an undocumented illegal immigrant without her being deported?

It is no longer possible for a citizen to apply for permanent residency/ citizenship for an immigrant spouse who entered the U.S. illegally. (INA Sect: 212(a)(9)(B) and 8 USC 1182(a)(9)(B). Marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer permanent resident status or citizenship on a foreign national. Therefore, marrying the person would not solve the problem of her being unlawfully present. She would be required to voluntarily return to her country of origin or be deported by authorities. Specific information can be found on the United States Citizenship and Immigration website, http://www.uscis.gov
