It depends on your status.  If you are a citizen, you can apply to have your husband adjust status, although he wil have to overcome an ineligibility under the law known as section 9B2, which can be a problem.\n\nMarrying an illegal alien does not automatically confer legal permanent residency on him.  Indeed, it does not help their status at all.  They could still face deportation.  If you are a legal permanent resident you could lose status and face deportation too.\n\nThere are several avenues that can be taken to get relief under the law.  Best to see an immigration attorney.

you won't be an american citizen.  If you marry outside the US your husband who is american would have to come back to the US and file paperwork to get you a visa to come here.  The process takes about a year, then when your here you have to file additional paperwork to become a citizen, that process depending on the state you live in can take from 2 to 5 years. It a long process been thorugh it with my husband from Ecuador, but if you really love the man it's worth it.

I suspect if you don't know the answer to this question, your wife must be here illegally.  How did you obtain your green card is the next question I would pose.

If he's here as a legal permanent resident - none! If he's here on a visa you can marry and file for Residency as a couple. You will have to provide details of earnings for the past 3 years to show you won't be a burden on the state and are above the poverty line in income. As the sponsor you also take on the liability of reimbursing any costs the Govnt may incur should he be out of work for any reason (social security etc) Check the immigration website for full details, downloadable forms etc.\n Once you have obtained Residency status for your spouse he will have to be resident in the US for 3 years with no break longer than 6 months before he can apply for citizenship. If he is already a permanent resident, obtained in a way other than marriage, he will have to wait 5 years before applying for citizenship.

Yes, you can marry a U.S citizen to get a green card. To become a U.S citizen, you have to wait at least five years.

Nope - you're required to support him and must prove you have over a certain level of income to do that.  Sounds like you're not marrying for love, just a green card.  Be aware that the government will find out - the interview is very hard and those guys will spring questions on you you'd never expect.

As I suggest all with my answers, the best answer is to see an immigration attorney. But with my understanding about the subject, after you guys get married you can file papers for his sponsorship. Depending on the state you file the papers and the current status of you bf the time will varry before he get's a green card. \n\nOnce papers are submitted and you have recieved acknowledgement from the INS that your case file is being processed your bf has a legal status but it is not advisable to cross the border unless he has a green card in his hand. \n\nPlease understand that working with INS requires patience but in the end it "might" pay-off.

Just live together and don't get married until he becomes a citizen.  If he really loves you, he will do it.

First you have to get her a K-1 Fiance Visa, whith which she can enter the country.  Then you have to marry her, and apply to adjust her status to permanent resident.  You must remain married for at least 2 years otherwise she will lose her legal status.\nUsually it takes about 6 months to 1 year to adjust status and receive permanent residency.

You may apply the minute you marry, It takes 4-5 month to get the temporary Green card, then another 2 years to get permanent green card. then after 5 years the spouse can apply for citizenship.

If you sent an I-765 together with your permanet residency application , shoudn't be more then 2-3 months... the processing time for the green card based on marriage is 6-15 months so it's a good ideea to send an I-765 together with your application if you want to work during the processing time

Assuming you are either US Citizen or Green Card holder, you may file an application for your husband immediately.\n\nUse Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and also your husband should file a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status at the same time.\n\nMore info on http://uscis.gov/graphics/howdoi/spouselive.htm

if you marry this guy you won't have to worrry about the greencard test right away. As for now you might be able to get a exatage student like thing set up, but with your boyfriend

Your status (as stated above) will not change and will remain the same as the day he walked out that door! Additionally, If you have reached the age of majority (18 yoa) your status will rely 100% on your actions!! not your fathers!\n\nBy the way...where are you now and what is your immigration classification? From your statement, you should of also receive your Green Card as a Family Preference Alien...are you just trying to get a free ticket to citizenship??

You can petition her as a fiance. It is probably best to get a lawyer. My husband is from Mexico and he entered the country illegally, we married here and I petitioned him as my husband, he had to pay extra and write a statement apologizing for entering this way. I chose to join him in Mexico during his waiting time (5 mos) because he was not allowed to leave his country. He is now living here as a permanent resident, he can work legally and in 2 more years he can try to become a citizen.

If your spouse filed the IR-1/CR-1, once the petition has been processed and approved you will be granted a greencard based on marriage to a US citizen.  Once you have entered the US on your IR-1/CR-1, you will receive your greencard in the mail within a few weeks and will then be able to apply for a SSN and be able to work.  Because you have been married 2.5 years, you will mostly likely receive the 10yr greencard.
