Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Illegal Citizen

My finace was brought here when he was 4 years old by his parents and is now an illegal citizen. He doesn't want to go back to his country because 2 of his uncles were kidnapped and held for ransom from other family members who are green card holders. Is there a way for him to become legal? I read we can't get married because he's already he illegally.

Re: Illegal Citizen

You can get married. However, when you submit a spousal petition for him, it will have to go through counsulor processing. Counsulor processing means that the file will be sent outside the USA and he will be required to return to his country of origin for a spousal interview. Further, he will face a ten year bar for re-entry to the United States and will require a waiver [I-601] Please seek the services of an experienced Immigration Attorney before proceeding.
