My husband overstayed his Visa 7 years, we are now married and expecting. How can I get his citizenship?

Question

My husband went to the states from Norway on a 6 month visa. Not sure which kind of visa specifically but figure it was the most basic. He then overstayed his Visa 7 years. We are both in Norway now. We are married since 5/08 in Norway and expecting. We plan to return to the States in 4 years time after I finish school, and want to be sure he can come back with me and work. I am a full US citizen, born n raised & our son will also be a citizen just born in Norway.

Any tips, advice, what steps do we have to take?

Answer 1

I'd go to the embassy where you are

or get legal advice.

he has been an illegal  

and your situation is complicated.

i cant imagine how or why the USA would help a foreigner who is not even living in the USA. or planning to for several years..but you never know.

Answer 2

You should ensure that you son's birth is registered with the US Embassy/Consulate in Norway.

You did not mention whether or not your husband was deported for overstaying his visa.

In any event, you can inquire of the US Embassy/Consulate there to determine his eligibility to re-enter the US as a spouse of a US citizen.  If he is eligible, you will need to apply for an alien relative to enter the US.

Answer 3

Did he get a 10 year ban when you moved to Norway? He could try applying for a residency in the US based on your marriage but I would definitely recommend you getting an immigration lawyer because the application will ask about his prior trips to the US.
