Yes, his chances will be better if you marry. And, surprise, surprise, better still if you have children. Contact me directly if you have more questions.

Re: Marriage-Natural Citizen to Illegal Immigrant in Deportation process

Generally, spouses of United States citizens can apply for adjustment of status even if they are in the United States illegally, and have less of a chance of being deported. If he leaves the country before you are married and it is found out that he was here illegally, he will have to stay outside (barred from re-entry) of the US for either 2 years or 10 years, depending on how long he had been in the US. This is not legal advice. Legal Advice can only be obtained upon a detailed intake meeting and once a client relationship is established. This is for general information only. For a detailed IMMIGRATION appointment, call Ashley Sikora of my office at (301) 279-8773. We wish you the best of success. -AP Pishevar, Esq.
