The ins is deporting people from Oregon who were not married and who were married as an illegal alien even after 40 years.
They should talk to a imagration lawyer right away. If they find she is illegal she will be deported possible asap. the same day.
It happened to my brother and his Canadian wife. They were in salt lake Utah. the next thing he knew she was in a holding tank in California. it was a night mare.
You can certainly have a legal marriage. However, that will not change his status automatically and he could still be deported. And since he has a felony, obtaining the appropriate visa to come into the country to get married will be difficult. You could find yourself married and have to either abandon the marriage or move to his country of origin.
It is legal in the United States for an illegal immigrant to marry a US citizen. Once the marriage is legal, the illegal immigrant becomes a legal immigrant and can stay in the US for the course of the marriage.
If she is still married to her 1st husband then her second marriage to you is illegal and you are NOT married.
Yes, you can marry in Tennessee but I do suggest you file for his residency immediately after the marriage as it can take a year or longer to get his green card.
If you are LEGALLY married in any country, that marriage will be recognised in all other countries.The problems come in cultures where bigamy (marriage to more than one person at a time) is legal in the home country but illegal in many other countries.
I do not think they can. I doubt that the state (or the country) will recognized the marriage of two illegal immigrants who married in another country. After all as far as the government is concerned "they are not here."
If the 'illegal' marriage was registered then yes.
You better register the marriage at the nearest US mission in the country where you are getting married to avoid the risk that the US government may not recognize marriage certificate from that specific country.
If he does not get into any trouble with the law, chances are no one will ever know or care that he is in the country illegally.Consult an Immigration lawyer. A marriage based on deceit is NOT a good way to start your life together.
There are many kinds of illegal marriages. One common kind is bigamy, the crime of marrying someone when still married to another. The process (not recommended) of illegally marrying your boyfriend would be to first marry someone else and then, without divorcing that husband, marry your boyfriend. Such a bigamous marriage is likely illegal in any U.S. state at any age.
not really. To get married you'd have contact- and that contact would be illegal. the marriage wouldn't stand and you both would face criminal charges
NO. Bigamy is illegal in all US States.There is validity of marriage based on the principle of comity. The US States recognize other countries' legal decrees. So if if your boyfriend's marriage is valid in Turkey, where it was performed then it will be treated as valid in the US. He must divorce his Turkish wife in order to be able to be legally married in the US.
