Best Answer

A foreign national who is unlawfully present in the U.S. cannot apply for permanent residency or citizenship. He or she must either voluntarily return to their country of origin or risk deportation. A foreign national who has remained illegally in the US for more than 12 months is barred from applying for rentry for three years. A foreign national who has remained illegally in the U.S. for more than 12 months is barred from applying for rentry for ten years. The exceptions are if the unlawfully present person qualifies as a refugee or asylee under USCIS regulations.
