Is it legal for a US citizen to marry a foreign national so that they can remain in the US?
Many people do this, but the illegal alien is taking advantage by asking either a man or woman to marry them so they can stay in that particular country. Yes, you could get into trouble, and if you don't get into trouble with your government, the person who is an illegal alien can cause you trouble. Marriage is marriage and you may have a tough time getting out of it. Don't do it! Let this person get into the U.S. the right way ... through Immigration! * Marrying in an attempt to attain permanent residency or ciritzenship status is in violation of federal law. If convicted of fraudulent marriage either or both participants can be incarcerated in a federal facility for a maximum of 5 years with a maximum $200,00 fine. The marriage will be declared invalid and the foreign national will be deported after serving the imposed sentence and permanently barred from applying for reentry. The US citizen will have a permanent criminal record of having committed a federal felony. In addition, marrying a US citizen no longer guarantees the foreign national will be granted US citizenship.
