Re: marrying a convict

If you are a US Citizen you can marry him, you can apply for a greencard for him. However he would not qualify for adjustment of status. He will have to go back to his homecountry for processing and more than likely have to stay there for ten years or more if you cannot prove a hardship to you and his US family.
