If an illegal immigrant leaves the country, they will most likely have to wait more than 5 years to be able to obtain a visa to enter the country legally (depending on the nation of origin). If said immigrant marries a US citizen, she might be able to obtain residence after the process is done, but can they both travel out of the country before the process is done or does the non-resident have to wait until she obtains the residence and everything is done to be able to leave the country?
