hi, just wanna ask advice and this is for my hispanic friend who's been here in US fro 10 years just by crossing the boarder (sneaking). She got married with a USC and got a 2 children now but she was never petition to become a legal resident. They parted ways with her ex-husband and now she found someone who truly care for her and willing to marry her and file for petition. He's a USC but he doesn't know what paper they need to file for her since she's undocumented. He can't afford to hire a lawyer too. Can anyone tell me what's best for them to do in order to get her fiance legalized here? She doesn't wanna go back to Mexico coz her 2 kids were studying here. I would highly appreciate your input about this matter.

She can never adjust her status because she is undocumented (sneaked over). She will have to go back and DHS is going to put a 10 yr ban on her. It doesnt matter if she gets married again, her sneaking across the border has dealt her a bad hand, children or no children, sorry.

This seems to be the second post about this subject.

For something this complicated a qualified legal opinion would be important. There are charitable organizations that can help them if they cannot afford an attorney.

Kcoyclay1 is correct, she cannot stay in the US if she wants to become legal. Coming to the US illegally has hindered her ability to become a legal resident presently. She must return to Mexico and wait out her inevitable ban. If your friend wants to continue to the process he may file for a K-1 visa which will be denied at the interview. Once it is denied the USC will file the I-601 which he will need to show how if his fiancee is not returned to the US he will undergo extreme hardship.

Good luck.

MAYBE IF THERE IS NO RECORD SHE COULD "SNEAK" BACK ACROSS THE BORDER AND AVOID ANY BAN!!!! :unsure:

By way of example, and not as a limitation, you agree that when using the Service, you will not:

• Condone or instruct, either directly or indirectly, others on how to commit fraudulent or illegal immigration activities in any way, shape, manner or method.

Thank you Charles,

Yes, it is against VJ TOS to promote, condone or encourage any type of illegal or fraudulent immigration activities.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

Its hard for me to feel any sympathy for this person, nor would i come to a forum where everyone thats a member has had to wait countless months and pay untold amounts of money to get this immigration process done right. The woman should have thought of the consequences before coming into this country illegally. If these 2 people truly want to marry legally , have the man move to mexico and marry her there. then wait out the 10 years, then apply again. Sorry if this explanation hurts your feelings. These are the laws, and everyone has to wait and go through the process. Tell your friend she will get no pity here for her situation.

If your friends wants to stay in the US she will have 2 stay undocumented for rest of her life or go back to Mexico and wait out the 10 year ban and then apply for legal residence from Mexico - tough choice

:o Amazing. Didn't we just today have a thread asking how do people get banned on VJ?

I guess folks on this thread really want to find out just how to go about it. :wacko:

Smarten up folks.... we all know the rules (or should).
