I don't think you should have to much of a problem man.... I know a lot of Dreamers that entered with visas who did just fine by marrying...

Good luck.. Try talking to a lawyer..

It would depend on the area in which you filed the paperwork actually,but 4-9 months isn't out of the ordinary for the paperwork to be done if the Government finds the relationship to be *bonafide* at the interview stage through evidence.

Then you're gonna have to go back home and apply from there, and probably face the 10 year ban.

nope they do test on how legit the marriage is though lol like if she is living with you/if you know anything about each other lol.

as long as you have a lawyer you shuld be fine though he/she would go over what the questions might be

Then you would not be able to gain an adjustment interview successfully on US soil and would have to be in your country of origin in order for the document to be gained.However,since most here are over 18 and have had unlawful presence for more than 1 year no US embassy would give the benefit for at least 10 years unless an I-601 waiver is approved proving extreme hardship.

Usually you get documentation at the 3 month level if you applied for it via a work permit,however the adjustment interview if successfully approved can net either a 2 year conditional residency card or a full 10 year green card.It all depends if the relationship has been *bonafide* for at least 2 years at the time of the adjustment interview,if less than 2 it would be conditional and if more it would be full permanent residency.
What you're asking would basically depend on how long the *bonafide* marriage has been when filing what is called an I-751 or removal of conditions if the *bonafide* marriage at the time of the adjustment interview was less than 2 years.It basically all depends on the timeline.

during your stay in mexico for years you cannot enter the U.S or you get banned.
Seriously,it is explanations like this that misinforms people in to doing the wrong thing when it comes to something as important as immigration paperwork.

You DO face a 10 year bar if over 18 and have unlawful presence for more than 1 year if you try to adjust through a US citizen spouse if you have to leave the US to *pick up* your residency at the US embassy in your country of citizenship.

Well Ianus, I guess marrying is pointless. Well I should not complain as I am not sucessfull in even getting a phone number much less a date. I think the dream act is probably the only way for some of us.
