if you overstayed your visa it will be less complicated. IF you don't even have a visa it's a pain in the ass. You'll have more hurdles to pass. But give it a shot.

then it will be pretty complicated, it might take a long time or they might even tell you to get out of the country and come back 10 years later after the ban to get ur status.

I was thinking the same thing, But I know a woman who did that but she came on a visa, someone stole it. She had to go through the process as if she came 100% illegal. And she had to leave The states and go to her home country, That was almost 2 years and she still isn't back yet. But they didn't say anything about a ban because she left on her own. She wasn't deported, her interview just wasn't in America

if you overstayed your visa, it will be very quick and easy to adjust through marriage to a USC. you won't have to go back to your home country or anything like that. that is how my dad got his green card after being in the US for 15 years. the whole process took about 6 months.

ok let me explain, my girls sister, is a nurse in a privet practice, so she does immigration physicals, this one lady when in with her son, cuz he was fixing through marriage, and she told her that he didnt have to leave because of the whole obama making it so they cant deport people with if they are, for a lack of a better word, dream act beneficiary's, so in other words no criminal records. I just wanted to know if this was true, or if anyone had heard of such a thing.

my cousin has been waiting for about two years now, and nothing yet. he has/had the option of leaving so the process would go faster, but it's a risk he is not willing to take; therefore, he decided to wait/adjust his status here. he came in without inspection, so like some mentioned, it's a pain. both partners were under major inspection(showing proof with photos, bank accounts, etc)/questioning/or whatnot for about 6 months in order to show that their marriage was real.

It was not Obama, but the director of immigration something something which wrote a memo stating plans to deport only immigrants convicted of crimes, halting deportations from individuals that did not commit major offenses or have pending immigration matter. It does not mean that they will not be deported, there will be a file for them and it is possible that they could still be deported in the future, just that they are giving deportation priority to the individuals that committed serious offenses, giving an opportunity for those that did not commit any serious offenses to be blanketed by hopefully the DA or CIR if either of those pass at some time. Call it a way to unclog jails while giving a glimmer of hope to those that just happen to be nabbed at random.

Now, I do not think that you would not have to leave the country if you were here illegally with not documentation of entering legally through some port of entry. In those cases you are supposed to present yourself at the embassy of your country of origin, thus needing to leave this country and in leaving this country you would have to serve the mandatory ban. if you have been more then a year in this country illegally after you turn 18.5 years of age it is 10 years of ban, less then a year from the age of 18.5, then 3 years ban.

That is my current comprehension of how the marriage works for people that entered illegally.

If you entered this country legally but became undocumented here, thus having been inspected by customs then you would not have to leave this country to complete the process and it would take really a matter of months.

however i suggest inquiring a lawyer first
