Yes and No. While marriage to a United States does confer certain benefits, it would depend on whether the foreign national is eligible for such benefits. Eligibility depends on several factors, including whether he entered the country legally or illegally, whether he is covered under INA section 245(i) if he entered unlawfully, etc.
Should you wish to consult our office in detail about your situation, we would be happy to meet with you. Please feel free to call or email.
Thank you!

Marriage to a U.S. Citizen may allow the individual you describe to be eligible for adjustment of status despite the denial of his asylum application. You should consult with an experienced immigration lawyer to discuss your situation in detail.
