Legal Question in Immigration Law in Florida

Marriage to an illegal immigrant

My fiance' and I have been together for over 4 years. We would like to marry but he's not here legally...he's from Mexico. I've never met such a caring, hard worker and I need to know what steps to take so we may be together and he may further his career....legally. Tank you.

It would also likely involve an extreme hardship waiver if he's been in the U.S. out of status for over 6 months.
