Is it possible for my husband to receive his residency within the U.S.?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
Yes, it is possible for you to help your husband get his residency. However, he will need to return to his home country in order to apply for his immigrant visa (permanent residency) at the US consulate. Assuming you are a US citizen, the first thing you need to file is an I-130 relative petition on his behalf. After the petition has been approved, he will need to apply for a provisional waiver on form I-601A because he has been unlawfully present in the US in excess of 1 year. If the provisional waiver application is approved, he should have no problems returning to the US after his immigrant visa has been granted at the consulate.

It's never advisable to fall out of status. You should apply for an extension of your stay and then apply for adjustment of status after your wife becomes a naturalized US citizen.

Can I legally marry an illegal immigrant to keep them in the United States?

Reza Athari
Answered by attorney Reza Athari (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
You may marry anyone that you love. Marriage should not be considered with immigration matters. From what you explain, he will have at least a 10 year bar that he must stay outside US. Certain crimes, specially drug related, make one ineligible to apply for any immigration benefit. You should consult with a seasoned immigration attorney.
