Which one is better for marrying and illegal immigrant

Question

he came here illegal and now we want to get marry i am a us citizen and i want to know what is faster to get marry here and file for his residency or to go came where he came from and file for a visa even though he has been in the us

Answer 1

Marriage will not change his status, he must return to his home country and apply from there.

Answer 2

Since he entered the country illegally, he therefore is considered illegal and is subject to deportation.  If you get married in the United States, Immigration will check out his background and deport him  to another country.  Your best bet is to go marry in his country.

Answer 3

if he came illegally, has been here  for 6 months or more and you marry him, either route you choose be prepared to be separated from each other for a period of time, could be from 3-10 years. unless you plan on joining him in his country of origin. th eonly thing that can help him apply in th eu.s. is if he has had someone file an I-130 for him or he was a derivative of an I-130 filed before 04/30/2001.  

Answer 4

You should get married here instead. Once you start the process of his residency he will have to go back to his country but he has a better chance of coming back here sooner if his wife is here (maybe 1-2 years).  

Answer 5

Legally you can get married, but it will not change his status as an illegal alien.  If he entered illegally, he would have to leave the country and file for a visa through regular channels.  If he is married to a US citizen it will make the process easier and faster, but marriage is not a shortcut and cannot make someone that is illegal legal in the United States.  

In addition, you will have to demonstrate that you are stable financially and that you can support him upon his arrival.

Answer 6

Marrying him here in the US is the fastest way to make him legal. One caveat, he must have been inspected and documented when he came over here. Was he documented when he came over here? I mean, did he enter through any ports of entry legally? If not, then he has to go back to his home country and wait there until the ban will expire. If he already stayed here more than 180 days -- there is already a 10-yr ban on him.
