If he is covered under 245i, it means that he can adjust his status in the U.S. without having to leave. Ask him if any of his parents ever was petitioned for a labor certificate or family visa before April 2001.

This is a really good site that explains this in details.

Hi!
Since your boyfriend came here illegally, he's not able to adjust his status in the country. But once he leaves, you can file a "hardship waiver" [aka waiver of inadmissibility (I-601)] stating that you can't be here without him. Your reasoning for this has to be GOOD, you can't just say you "miss him". You have to give concrete details of why you need him here, for example, your baby, you can't work that much due to your health, you need him financially, etc. There's a great website with lots of women going through this. You can find it here

http://www.immigrate2us.net/forum/fo...6-I-601-Mexico

I'm assuming he's from Mexico because that's usually where most people can cross the border (aka, it's harder for someone from Brazil or Peru, etc), but if he's not from Mexico, you can just check the other forums. There's one for Honduras, South America, etc. There you can see the process women have gone through. I suggest you get a GREAT lawyer who specializes in this type of stuff, because your letter needs to be as good as possible to maximize chances of success. Most people on that site have gotten help from Laurel Scott [http://www.scottimmigration.net/], as she and her associates specialize in this type of case.

Now, if he is protected by 245i, that means someone filed a petition on his behalf, or he is a derivative beneficiary of a qualifying petition that was filed, before or on April 30th, 2001. This can be a work petition (i-140) or a family petition (i-130). Do you know if anyone has petitioned either him or one of his parents? If it turns out he's protected by 245i that makes things a lot easier, and he can adjust in the country after paying a fine.

Good luck! I hope you, your future hubby, and the baby can live peacefully in this country soon...

Thank you everyone for your info.

Still confused and not sure what to do. We are trying to see what route is better for him. We dont want to do something wrong and have him stay in Mexico.
We want to do this as smoothly as possible. And have him either stay here or come back fast.

We dont know if marrying now would look bad and in turn have him stay in Mexico.
Even though we have been together 6 years we have yet to get married because we just dont know what to do.

There is a long history and a baby on the way, I can't find a reason why any one would question the merits of the marriage.

However, I agree with you, first you must consult with a lawyer, I suggest researching your options and going to a few lawyers and seeing what they think, select the lawyer that gives the answer that makes the most sense according to what you researched, and try to make sure it is a good lawyer with lots of experience. I tell you from personal experience after my parents went to close to a dozen lawyers in their family petition, some of those lawyers would have gotten them deported and banned for 10 years based on what they suggested they were supposed to do, but we sort of knew what the case was supposed to look like and just wanted to make sure it was done the fastest way possible by a great lawyer and it paid off in my opinion.

You may use what has been mentioned already as a good starting point on where to go to find more specialized information and what you may research.

Good luck

I personally wouldn't take the risk of marrying for papers only.. Who knows what sorts of questions they will ask or investigate. I dunno seems like a hassle.. Unless you know the person really well.

I'd just like to say that love may change, and so may people once they realize how much power, to change the outcome of your life, they have. I'm still undocumented, and officially divorced from a 4 year marriage as of October 14th, 2010. But maybe there are better people in this world than the person who promised to help me, for our future, back when her and I decided to get married, four Octobers ago on the 17th...

I just got married on June 2010 my husband has been very supportive in the whole immigration process he is a USC and since i came with a tourist visa it is expected for me to have my residency in 6 months which im really hoping for. I just submitted the application two weeks ago, I'm very excited and i can't wait to have our interview. I have been waiting for this for 6 years. I do believe that are good people out there that will do anything for the person they love. I would not have gotten married only for the papers (even though i did think about it at some point) Now i realize it would have been very difficult to fake a marriage since they have gotten more strict over the years. We are both young 20 and 22 people often are surprised to find out I'm married but i knew i had to make this decision in order to accomplish all the things I want to do in life.
