Legal Question in Immigration Law in California
My fiancee came over legally from the UK but "over-stayed" his tourist visa (by about 12 years). We are getting married soon and want to start his citizenship process. Is he allowed to get a permanent residency visa even though he is not here legally?

Yes, marrying a US citizen is his best option. Hurry
Yes, as long as he entered the US legally, he can marry you (the US citizen) and obtain his lawful permanent residence through the adjustment of status process.
You may find detailed information on the process on my web site here:

Yes, all sponsorship paperwork including adjustment of status application can be filed concurrently. Your spouse will not normally have to depart the U.S.: www.h1b1.com/Uscitizen.htm
If you are a U.S. citizen, you can sponsor him to procure his green card in the U.S, not citizenship at this time. You can file the paperwork in the U .S. and have his status adjusted here. My offices handles these cases. Feel free to call 408 245 2416 or send an email to [email protected]
You have to be married to your future husband and he can not have left the U.S. since he 1st entered legally from the UK to sponsor him for a green card. Citizenship can be applied for about 3 years after he get his green card. Good luck.
