You can file for her green card but I would want to know why she is illegal. Did she enter the country illegally or did her visa expire? It is best to speak to an attorney before proceeding to make sure things progress smoothly and that she will in fact be eligible for a green card after the paperwork is processed. If you would like to speak to me please call and we'll set up a consultation. Good luck.

Dear Sir,

Yes you can sponsor your wife for immigration benefits. There are certain requirements that she will have to fulfill in order to be eligible however, including inspection upon entry into the U.S.

It is advisable that you consult with an attorney before applying for any immigration benefits.
