Marrying a foreign national for the sole of purpose of the person obtaining permanent resident status or becoming a citizen is illegal. It is a violation of federal law and punishable by fines and imprisonment for both parties. In addition the foreign national will be deported after serving his or her sentence and will not be allowed to ever reenter the U.S. Furthermore, it is a misconception that marriage of a foreign national to a U.S. citizen guarantees permanent resident status or citizenship, it does not. It does however place a higher priority level on the person's application for residency and/or 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

How can a US citizen marry an illegal immigrant if he has his birth certificate from Mexico but does not have valid US indentification documents?
Due to stricter immigration enforcement it is no longer a simple matter for a US citizen to marry a foreign national regardless of his or her status within the US. In the majority of US states, the foreign national must have a valid ID, Social Security number, birth certificate and proof of legal status before he or she will be allowed to marry. In the few states that do not require all of the aforementioned documents the foreign national may be allowed to marry with just a valid ID and a birth certificate. Regardless of such, any information obtained by state officials concerning a possible illegal immigrant is forwarded to the Division of Homeland Security and ICE.
