I would advise that they return home and attempt to seek Immigration to the US through the legal alien immigration office and allow their alien ambassador to get them an alien American greencard.
The non citizen spouse will be allowed to file for an adjustment of status. If it is not granted the non citizen spouse will still be allowed to use the established appeal process, he or she WILL NOT be automatically deported.

∙ 17y agoIf the marriage is legitimate the citizen spouse will not encounter any problems with authorities. If the foreign national spouse was not permanently deported, the citizen spouse can apply for his or her reentry once the imposed time limit has expired. If the marriage is found to be one of 'convenience' the sole purpose being to enable the immigrant spouse to obtain permanent residency and citizenship, the citizen spouse can be found charged with committing a federal felony. If such is the case, the best option for the citizen spouse is to retain (or at least obtain) legal counsel from a qualified immigration attorney, and refrain from discussing the matter with anyone (especially authorities) until that has been done.
