Are there any states where a citizen and an illegal immigrant can get married?

Answer 1

illegals can get married anywhere to whoever they want, is no big deal.

As the ability to get married is a State-level jurisdiction, and Immigration status is a Federal-level jurisdiction, the two are NOT related.

I am not aware of any state that requires a person to be a legal immigrant to be married, though they almost certainly will have to produce some sort of identification document to prove who they are (NOT that they are here legally). For instance, a person who has overstayed their visa is technically an illegal immigrant, yet would still have a passport (from their home country) which could easily be used to fulfill the identification requirement necessary to get a marriage license.

However, do note that marriage does not automatically convey any change in immigration status. That is an ENTIRELY different question.

Answer 2

Yes, it's possible, as long as the people are not currently married and meet the age requirements of the state in which they plan to marry. It will not make the "illegal" person "legal," however. The process of getting the person "legalized" will take many many years.

Answeryes it is all they need it there id from there othere state and there you go your best bet is to go to Vegas that is where i did AnswerThe person legally here ( the USA) should first aplly for a fiance/ee visa for his/her future husband/wife to brin him/her to the US legally. It would be wise to say that your fiance/ee is still in her home country if you go directly to the USCIS. I do not know if it will take longer to get the visa than if the legal immigrant is not a US citizen, but he/she will get it. That's the right way to do it to avoid future problems in getting a "green card" for the future foreing husband or wife.

ANSWER: Yes they can get married, but it doesnt guarantee legal status. The best thing to do is go back to your country, get married there and start the whole process. It is the faster, cheaper way to do it (i hope you don't have criminal record- imean the immigrant)

Answer 3

Yes, in fact, many Illegal immigrants will marry US citizens to get attempt to get legalization in the US. Upon marriage, the former Illegals would gain the benefits of a Social Security number, and then would be given the opportunity to file for a US Green Card. Filing through a Spouse is usually a good idea, since many of them do get approved.

Note: Marriage does not change the illegal status. It is always better to find a way to get them into a legal status before the marriage. Otherwise, there is a very real possibility that the alien will have to leave the country and apply for a visa in the normal way. In some cases they have to live outside the US for many months or even years to qualify for re-entry into the US. Consult an immigration lawyer for specifics, don't condemn yourself to years apart and legal nightmares.

Answer 4

To get married you need to produce documents and to swear to the truth of what you have written on the marriage certificate, so if you are illegal this would be hard to do for an offical marriage in any state.
