You should probably seek an Immigration lawyer to help you. Sometimes ICE agents get a little upset when they see that status was changed like that without going through proper procedures.

My mom has tourist visa should she enter US with tourist visa and then apply for immigration visa What is a better approachprocedure?

On what basis would she be able to adjust status once in the U.S.? Of course she shouldn't do this. If immigration officials even *think she entered the U.S. on a tourist visa with the intention of immigrating, she'll never adjust status. It's never advisable to enter the U.S. on a tourist visa with the intent of immigrating. http://www.dixonimmigration.com/index.php?pid=2

Doubtful. Relationships do not change immigration status.


What papers do you get as soon as you get married to a us citizen as an illegal alien?

NONE. Marriage to a US citizen does not in any way automatically confer any change in immigration status. Your US Citizen spouse can now petition to have your immigration status changed, but you will almost certainly have to leave the country and return to your home country to pick up the new visa, and, depending on the case, you may NOT be allowed to return to the US for up to 10 years.


Can you join the army if your spouse is undocumented?

You can. When your spouse applies for her dependent ID (which is what would give her access to the post you're stationed at), some very obvious issues are going to result from that. You would need to speak to an immigration attorney to see about getting your spouse's status legalised before you enlist.

How do you marry your girlfriend if she has overstayed her tourist visa and is working under another name?

The same way you marry a girlfriend that has not overstayed. Getting married has nothing to do with immigration law. However, any falsification on the marriage license can invalidate the marriage. Being in the country illegally will not change based on marital status. If you really want to get married and have a long relationship, consult an immigration attorney.
