Hi All, I have a quick question.

My bf and I would like to eventually marry, but he is an illegal immigrant from Mexico and I want to make sure that we do everything correctly. He has been here in the U.S. for over 7 yrs. now and was previously married. He and his wife separated, but never divorced.

My question is this: Being that he was an illegal immigrant in the first place, is he really legally married?

He assumed that he was since they used his Mexican ID when applying for the marriage license, but now we both are not sure. Does anyone know?

Looking forward to reading your advice.

Immigration status has nothing to do with the legality of the marriage. Yes, he is married.

Go to that group and tell the story, especially about how he entered the US.

He needs to be legally divorced to benefit from his relationship with you. He IS legally married now.

This won't be quick, or cheap. Look at others' timelines at that group before you make any major decisions.

Now That You Are A Permanent Resident

How Do I Remove The Conditions On Permanent Residence Based On Marriage?

Welcome to the United States: A Guide For New Immigrants

Yes, even this last one.. stuff in there that not even your USC knows.....

Here are more links that I love:

Arriving in America, The POE Drill

Dual Citizenship FAQ

Other Fora I Post To:

alt.visa.us.marriage-based http://britishexpats.com/ and www.***removed***.com

censored link = *family based immigration* website

Inertia. Is that the Greek god of 'can't be bothered'?
