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.
No, she is not. She will be allowed to remain in the US with her spouse and children, but she will have to apply for citizenship separate from her marriage. The US citizen REMAINS a US citizen. The immigrant remains an immigrant and must follow the legal path to resident immigrant status, and from there to citizenship. Marriage is not a free pass to residency or citizenship.
Don't do it. You can risk losing everything!
Yes, they do. Why would an immigrant need to talk to INS about a marriage? Immigrant means they are already residing in the US legally as a immigrant.
Yes the illegal would be deported and the U.S. citizen who entered into this fraud marriage fined and possibly jailed.
Yes but the American citizen has to file a petition for the immigrant.
Yes.
My guess is no. You have to prove that you have a real marriage to stay.
Yes, the marriage is legally recognized in the United States.
Yes, if he then becomes a legal resident There is nothing illegal about marriage, however, since the other one is an illegal immigrant, they are not likely to be granted citizenship simply because of the marriage. The two could be separated for many years.
No. The marriage would not be allowed. Also, marrying a US citizen regardless of the circumstances does not prevent an illegal immigrant from being deported.
First, there's no such thing as an illegal citizen. Second, there's no such thing as an alternative lifestyle. But if you are asking if a marriage between a gay person and an illegal immigrant of the opposite sex would be valid if it is not consummated, that depends upon the laws of the state where the marriage took place. If the marriage was made with the intent for the illegal alien to gain citizenship or permanent resident status, that won't happen. Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT automatically confer citizenship or permanent resident status.
