marry him
from the best of my knowledge, the best thing to do is to be a u s citizen and then try filing for your boyfriend
If you entered illegally, then no, marriage would not make you legal. You would need to file and win a I-601 waiver at the US embassy of your home country.
np ****** No judge in the US is going to grant legal custody of a minor to their boyfriend/girlfriend.
if your boyfriend was deported he can not enter the us for ten years and if he is lucky to get a visa to come here he will have a very hard time adjusting his status
Right. Millan illegally crossed the border into the US in 1990 and stayed illegal until 2000 when he became a legal resident; he became a U.S. citizen in 2009.
I'm sure you would be able to if one became a legal citizen afterwards.
Post those pictures online, and let us see them. Then we can make a determination if you can take legal action.
It depends if that person is already legal in the US and if they already have their green card
No. Persons who are considered to be illegally within the US cannot apply for resident status even if they are considered legally married to a US citizen. Federal law applies to immigration issues not state laws, so, it is conceivable for an illegal immigrant to legally marry a US citizen but that does not give she or he US legal status or the right to apply for such.
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 you followed the proper legal process to get married, then the marriage is legal. It doesn't matter if he's here illegally or not.
If your mother is currently in the U.S. illegally, as a family member you can petition for "adjustment of status" and if successful get her legal alien status (green card). After she has a green card for 5 years, she can become a US citizen. I would strongly advise anyone who is illegally in the US and wants to become legal to consult an immigration attorney. If she has successfully remained here for 22 years, you don't want to risk having her deported because you messed up an attempt to make her legal.
