Re: marrige between a naturalized citizen and an illegal immagrant.

In order for the boyfriend to eventually be able to adjust his status, he must have entered the USA legally (with a visa). The real issue is that if he entered without inspection, as the law stands right now, his options for adjusting his status are very limited. How did he enter the country and when?
