Re: illegal marry with american citizen question
Your spouse may sponsor you for permanent residence (with a joint-sponsor if his income is not enough).
However, if you entered illegally, you'll have to eventually go back to your home country for the consular interview and submit a I-601 waiver for your unlawful presence in the U.S.
