Legal Question in Immigration Law in North Carolina
Marrying a Mexican who has overstayed his visa
My sister wants to marry a man who entered the US
legally (so he is documented) but he has overstayed
his work Visa by 5 months. They plan on establishing
permanent residency in Mexico, however they need to
know what legal measures they should take (maybe a
greencard?) so that he will be able to come back to the
U.S. with her periodically. Also, in order for him to most
easily be able to return to the U.S. after they are
married, does it make a difference if they marry in
Mexico or in the U.S.?

Marriage to a U.S. citizen could cure the overstay and allow him to apply for his "green card." Please contact me via e-mail for more information.
Re: Marrying a Mexican who has overstayed his visa
Since he entered legally and overstayed and is now in the country illegally, the best option is marriage for your sister's boyfriend.
Have her email me for a consultation so I can get all the facts.
