No, the marriage will not ';legalize'; the status of an illegal immigrant. The most reliable thing to do is to quietly go to your fiance's home country and get married there. Then go to the U.S. Embassy and


apply for an ';immigrant spouse visa';. Check with an immigration lawyer to be sure.Can an illegal immigrant become legal after marriage to a untied states citizen?
Illegal or legal immigrant after marriage to US citizen is entitled to obtain Green Card (immigration visa). Obtaining a Green Card through marriage can be complicated. Each year over 450,000 thousand United States citizens marry foreign-born individuals and petition for them to obtain permanent residency status, or a Green Card, in the United States. Spouses of U.S. citizens are considered ';immediate relatives'; under immigration laws; therefore they are excluded from all numerical quota limitations. This means that there are an unlimited number of Green Cards available to foreign nationals who marry U.S. citizens. However, the process of completing and submitting a request for a Green Card through marriage can be both costly and confusing. After becoming resident alien there is a naturalization process lasting 5 years until he after passing the all US Immigration service requirements will be sworn as US citizen.
No, they are not automatically citizens. They must go through the process of becoming naturalized. They need to contact INS and begin the process. It takes a long time and is expensive.
they need to get married anf file for adjustment of status. Homeland Security won't really care how long he's been illegal, as long as his fingerprints come back clean. It's a two year process until he becomes legal, and three years until he becomes a US citizen
you can join the army and become G.I Jane, then you get automatic green card.





lol.
If they are here illegally, they should go back to their country until they can come here legally. ILLEGAL means one thing- Law breaking person. Laws are in effect for a reason!!
In the 60's and 70's yes, but today things are much more complicated.
