mamour	i wish i could find an answer that you want to hear, but i cannot , you must do it the legal way in order to live in tranquility in both of your file from now on . think if you got in a car collision, a stop sign violation ? and he gets arrested ? ?????????? there a lot of situations that will arise where he could get arrested for some simple situation. some states do you recognize marriage if he does not have a social security card , so? you marriage may not be valid at all ? my only advice is either you consult an Attorney that is well known in immigration ,and dealing especially with Mexico illegal immigrants ,to get some legal advice ? or he goes back to Mexico and start the process legally ?

kNOTaLIAwyR	Being married to a US Citizen doesn't change anything anymore. He'll have to leave the country, but it might be only for awhile. First, you will have to file an 128F with the INS, and pay for it. You'll have to ask the court if he can stay. The court will say, "No" and tell him he has 90 days to leave the country or else the country will deport him. If he gets deported, he will have to wait 10 years to be reconsidered. If he leaves on his own within the 90 days, you can file a request for a temporary visa so he can wait in the US while the INS decides what to do with him. This is usually granted to other countries, but Mexicans aren't in favor with INS these days. Still, it is worth a try. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

margie s	Go back home with him and come in the legal way. You are at this time helping a criminal. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

brucec83	When you don't know what to do, do nothing. You can file for an I-130, and there is no harm in that. But he will have to go back to Mexico for the visa interview and there is a good chance that he will be caught lying about his unlawful presence and have to remain there for years before getting a waiver of the 10 year bar on re-entry. Unless he is a felon, there is very little chance that he will be deported if he stays. An Immigration Reform law will eventually be passed, but if not, then after he has been here for 10 years, he can turn himself in and apply for a stay of deportation and be paroled. Do not take my or anyone elses advice here. Make an appointment with a good immigration lawyer. If you cannot afford one, USCIS will give you a list of free ones. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dū'bē-əs	Consult with lawyer. its hard though. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

George L	Well, the best advice you've gotten so far is from Bruce 83. If he entered without inspection, meaning he didn't have a visa and just slipped over the border, he won't be able to become an immigrant while remaining in the US. Of course, as his wife and an American you can file the proper paperwork with USCIS, an I-130 IR-1 immigrant visa petition, but he'll still need to return home. If he's been in the US illegally for over a year, he's subject to a 10 year bar to receiving any sort of visa, immigrant or otherwise. However, he can apply for a waiver of the immigration violation through DHS, which does have an office in Mexico City. Now, that doesn't mean he'll get one simply for applying. But at least he can apply and he has a chance. If he remains illegally, he's subject to deportation, with or without an American wife, and unless the law changes sometime in the unforseeable future, there's no way to become legal while staying here. Getting a lawyer though is not at all a bad idea. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
