Can someone with federal charges marry an illegal immigrant?
No federal law prohibits marrying an illegal alien of the
opposite sex.
Whether that spouse will be granted perm residence is a separate
INDIVIDUALIZED decision by the feds.
Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration
Can you be charged for marrying an illegal alien?
If you marry someone from another country, they are no longer
illegal, but a resident alien.
The above response does not answer the question. If you marry an
illegal person in the U.S. it is not that simple. The government
may require that person to leave the county up to 3 years.

If you know someone is an illegal immigrant and became a citizen by marriage how can you sue them?
There are not grounds for filing a civil suit in such a
situation. In addition, a foreign national whether illegal or not
does become a citizen by marrying an American citizen, nor are they
guaranteed permanent resident status. United States Citizenship and

Does an illegal alien from guatamala become legal resident or cizen by marrying a US citizen?
Yep, legal resident. Citizenship takes time. I'll marry you.
I should add you can not marry someone to become legitimate AND
you still must file all the proper paperwork. In other words you
must actually marry out of love and not for citizenship.
Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration, Divorce
What happens if a person gets a divorce before becoming a US citizen?
I was told the marriage was
void.
A dissolution of marriage does not interfere with the process of
becoming a citizen or being granted permanent resident status. The
reason being is that marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically
give someone citizenship or permanent resident status. USCIS
procedures still take precedence and should be followed
accordingly.

Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Green Cards
Can someone currently in the United States on a tourist visa become a permanent resident and petition to change her status if she marries a guy with either a white card or green card?
The person can file for permanent residency, but being married
does not assure that it will be granted. Even marrying a U.S.
citizen does not guarantee that the spouse will be granted
citizenship, permanent status or not be deported. For more specific
information pertaining to the issue at hand visit

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.

Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration, Lawyers
Can a permanent resident of the United States marry an illegal immigrant so he can file for his residence?
Yes they can. Remember, it is against the law to marry someone
for residency and not for love, even though VERY hard to prove,
they do ask questions as to what type of panties does she wear,
What side of bed he sleeps on, etc., etc.! However, an illegal
resident can not leave the country as they will NOT be allowed in
until green card is issued! Contact Immigration for application. It
will run you ~$500+ for application, medical & criminal record
check. If you have other questions contact me at
candlefactoryco@candlefactoryco.com (RAArchie) Yes, however
marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer or guarantee
that said person will be granted permanent resident status or
citizenship, or will not face deportation depending upon individual
circumstances. For specific information...United States Citizenship

Asked in Citizenship and Marriage
If you marry a Mexican is he still illegal?
The short answer is yes. You may even become "illegal" yourself,
as marrying someone for the sole purpose of circumventing US
immigration laws is a federal offense.
There is a legal method for a citizen to marry a non-citizen, but
it requires that you follow a particular procedure. If you want to
marry a non-citizen, you should contact the Department of
Immigration for details on how to proceed; the exact steps depend
on where you'll be getting married and what the current visa status
of the non-citizen is.
In any case, marrying someone does not automatically make them a
citizen. It does make them eligible for permanent resident status
(conditional, if you've been married for less than two years).

Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration, History of US Immigration
Can an illegal immigrant in the US become a Canadian resident and come back to the US?
Firstly, the person has to gain Canadian Immigration resident
status, and their having been an illegal in the USA will NOT be in
their favour. Secondly, the USA is under no obligation to allow
entry to someone who was previously illegal in the USA, regardless
of their Immigration status in Canada. Your legal or non-legal
status in another country has no bearing on your immig. status in
the US.

Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration, Labor and Employment Law
If someone is married to a US citizen can he remain in the US regardless of his own Visa status?
The person needs to have permanent resident status. Marrying a
US citizen does not automatically give you citizenship or different
visa status. The requirements are having been a legal permanent
resident for five years. Or being a legal permanent resident and
married to a US citizen for three years. The person can then apply
for US citizenship.
Asked in Citizenship and Marriage, Immigration, Marriage, Lawyers
Is it illegal to marry a legal alien for money?
YES!!! Don't do it! You can be arrested and they will be sent
back to wherever.
You will probably not be arrested unless it has to do with
trafficking. Simply marrying someone who is already LEGAL is not a
criminal offense. However doing so based on money.. like "mail
order brides" does violate the INS policy on legal marriages and
they will possibly have a VISA revoked if they try to become a
perm. resident.

Is it legal to have someone 21 serve alchol to someone at your residence in NC?
I'm no resident of North Carolina, but 21 is the national
drinking limit, which means at 21 someone can consume and serve
alcohol. If you or the person the 21 year old is serving is under
21, that is illegal, period.
