Not nesseciarly, If your talking about a 'fake marraige' then aside from this being illegal and punished by 5 years in jail, there is no way for an illegal immigrant to adjust status to lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder) for one very simple reason: he has no status to adjust FROM!
So even if a 30-year-old marries an illegal immigrant, the immigrant will still be deported once caught. There is simply no other way than leaving the US, at which time a 10-year bar will be triggered. Ten years later, the US citizen spouse can file for an IR-1 visa, at which time also an I-601 waiver needs to be submitted for the overstay.
Now, there's some good news, however!
The US Government realizes that children have no say in where parents drag them. Therefore, illegal presence in the US is not recorded until the child becomes an adult and can do whatever they want. More to the point, you have exactly 180 days after your 18th birthday to "do the right thing" and leave the US on your own. Your fiance (who needs to be at least 18 and make $18K per year after taxes for the affidavit of support) can file an K-1 (fiance visa) for you. Once issued, you ENTER the US legally, get married within 90 days, and file for AOS ($1,010). Once approved, you'll get a 2-year Green Card. After 2 years, you both have to file for Removal of Conditions ($585) and once that's done, you'll get a 10-year Green Card.
Sounds all very easy, but due to the requirements of the ROC, very few "fake" marriage survive the process.
I believe that you're guaranteed a citizenship when you marry a citizen, but being an illegal complicates the matter.
No it will not be easier to get a green card. And how did they illegally marry? If they were issued a marriage license, and they did not lie on the application, they are legally married.
No, having a baby will not make the process any faster or easier.
You file for amnesty or asylum if your country is that bad. You must have some sort of proof.
Go to the local INS office and explain and fill in the paperwork. It is easier than doing online.
No, it is more difficult.
You can become a citizen just like any other immigrant. Having family who are US citizens might make it easier, though.
I would not think so due to the situation of one being an "illegal" immigrant. Who signed the marriage license if there were no witnesses, and was the person who performed the ceremony legally licensed to do so.
they get a job at some company which hires illegal immigrants.. However it used to be a lot easier to be a illegal immigrant. Nowadays you need ID and a bank account and all your administration stuff for even the most simplest things.
yes, apply as a single person that way when you marry your fiance you are an American citizen and it will make it easier to get him a green card.
No, but the person you marry can sponsor your citizenship making it easier. It takes about a year, because the us citizen will be investigated and both people have to prove that it is a real marriage and not a ploy just to get citizenship.
I am not for separating families, but there are legal steps to becoming a US resident or citizen. From your philosophy, I would gather that all an illegal immigrant has to do is come to the USA, marry a US-born citizen, have children and, voila!! they are automatically a US citizen. Sorry, but it doesn't work that way. I. too. feel sad for the family that is left behind, but that is the risk of illegal immigration. My ancestors had to go through the immigration/naturalization process when they came to the US. I don't think it should be any different or easier for any others.
