Can an illegal immigrant come to the US from Mexico and get married or does he or she have to go back to Mexico?

Answer 1

Not until he/she gets a green card or at least permission by the USCIS, based on your marriage in Mexico. Now about the name jumble: It would be in his/her favor that he/she did not use his/her real name in the USA while illegal, specially since he/she has been deported at least once. That is if he/she never used his/her real name while illegally in the USA, so as far as the INS is concerned, he/she was never here (the USA). That said, I hope that he/she used his/her real name when she married you in Mexico. I think you know why. Now, go to the USCIS or an Immigration attorney and file the paperwork to bring you foreing husband/wife to the USA. Actually, it's OK if he/she (the immigrant) used his/her real name while illegally in the U.S. As long as he/she did not give his/her real name when deported. The reason for this is the possible 3 to 10-year ban for entering the country illegally AND being deported at least once.

Answer 2

No. A foreign national who has been found to be unlawfully present for a period of 6 months but less than 12 months will be deported and barred from applying for legal entrance for three years. One who has been found to be unlawfully present for more than a 12 moths will be deported and barred from applying for legal entrance for a period of 10 years. Any foreign national who has been deported for reasons pertaining to criminal acts can be refused legal entry permanently. Due the stringent requirements of the Patriot Act and DHS regulations, state's are enforcing strict guidelines for identification for applications of all licenses including that of marriage. Foreign nationals presenting will routinely have indentification documents checked by DHS and/or ICE. If false indentification is used the marriage will not be legal and thereby null and void any application for permanent residency or citizenship. In additon both parties can be subject to being charged under the Fradulent Marriage Act. Such a crime is a federal felony carrying a maximum sentence of five years in a federal prison and $250,000 fine.

Answer 3

OK. There is really no simple or easy answer to this question as the answer depends upon several different factors. First of all, how long ago was your loved one deported and for how long were they deported for? Another factor is, if your illegal love is currently in theU.S. duringtheir active deportation ( example: my husband was given a 10 year deportation in Oct. 04, and by Jan. 05 was back in the country illegally, obviously within the restricted 10 years) and can in some way be tracked and proved in any way such as a traffic ticket, record of them working, getting married, etc. they will automatically be given a reinstatement of their current deportation with a general penalty of 5-10 more years tacked on. If your illegal love is currently in the USA I would recommend living very cautiously. DO NOT let some money-hungry immigration lawyer convince you that for x-amount of thousands of dollars your loved one can stay here. It's a lie. Let me tell you about my situation. I met my now husband in '03, he was deported for 10 years in '04 and came back within a month. We continued to live here in the states together until '06 when we went to his hometown and married. (One of the above-mentioned money-suckers actually told us that this is what we should do) I lived with him in Mexico for 6 months and then came home alone, to presumably get everything in order to bring home my husband. Yeah right. So now here comes the fun-pretty much the only way for anyone with a deportation to be considered for a visa is to be given a pardon for the deportation. Now, from what I understand from the SEVERAL immigration attorneys that I have been through, there really are no guidelines as to who actually gets pardoned and who doesn't. The only requisite states that the citizen must prove "extreme hardship" as a direct result of the absence of the deported spouse. However, the definition of "extreme hardship" has been yet to be known by any moron attorney. From what one of the more compassionate lawyers I came across explained to me usually the only cases that get granted involve the couple having a gravely ill child. Generally, this pardon is rarely granted and any decent attorney should tell you that instead of giving you false hope and taking your money. My advice is that if your loved one is already here, live as low-key as possible until the deportation time is served, and if by the grace of God you guys make it all the way through without it being documented that they were here during that time, then go to their country of origin and get married or go to a lawyer and pretend that they have been in their country this entire time and ask for a fiancé visa. When it comes time for their immigration interview they will have to return to their country with the risk of still being denied for the visa. Unfortunately until there is a change in our immigration processes the only other thing left to do is pray every moment of every day for some sort of decent immigration reform that will allow all of our broken families to live together in peace once and for all. But I am not holding my breath. By the way, in our case, after lots of money and many denials for the pardon, he reentered illegally and we were fine until Dec. '08 when he was the victim of a horrible armed carjacking/kidnapping, and unbelievably due to the horrendously racist part of the USA that we live in, my husband was taken to jail with his aggressor. (My husband was arrested simply for his illegal status) With the new twist that my husband was the victim of a violent crime and aided in the prosecution of the case against his attacker, yet another immigration attorney appeared with promises of visas and citizenship. $7,000 and 6 months later, my husband was back in Mexico with the reinstatement of his prior deportation and an extra 10 years for being in the USA during the original 10 year timeframe. Now he's there and I'm here. What now? It's too dangerous over there right now to even think us living down there. We're stuck. So as far as I can tell, under the current, very difficult policies and regulations, there is a VERY slim chance of you being able to get your loved one any kind of permission to legally be here in the USA with you until their deportation is over.

Answer 4

Sure they can get married. It's not easy, because it could be seen as just getting married for a green card, but yeah, someone can get married there.

Answer 5

yes they can or at least it use to work
