Did he enter the USA legally? And if yes, how long has he been here illegally?

Not sure how this is a K-1 question. I understand you are expecting to apply for a K-1, but you are asking what an illegal alien needs to bring with them while crossing over into their home country? I can't tell you how the officers will handle this, but I imagine it being equivalent to deportation.I do know this will be an issue later when you are applying for the K-1. When you do apply and go through the process, be ready to explain why he was here illegally. Not trying to seem harsh, but that is the reality. Any record of him being here illegally will be brought up in the interview.

no, and he has been here for many years

He will be allowed to leave the USA with no problem. He may need to show some documentation to enter Mexico.

I've crossed into Mexico at least 100 times (not at this POE, however), and I've never had to show any identification to either US or Mexican authorities to get into Mexico. That having been said, I've seen US Immigration officers stopping people at times and checking bags, etc. I've never seen Mexican authorities checking anyone who wasn't carrying suitcases or something of that sort.

Here is the problem....when he applies for a visa to the US. How is he going to explain his whereabouts for the years that he was illegally in the US?

Si, man. Bear in mind that CBP can perform southbound searches before you enter Mexico, either randomly or on the basis of suspicion.

this is the root of the problem. his past behaviour will haunt him, whether he tells the truth or lies. advise him to be truthful. a lie in any of the process can cause him deportation, even removal of naturalisation, if it is later determined.

It will be very difficult for him to lie....as a beneficiary, he will be required to file the G-325a. He will need to provide his addresses....UH OH....what will he say? That he has been living in USA illegally?

I believe in your situation it is probably best for him to stay in the US, for you to marry and apply for adjustment of status.

As he has been illegal for years he may have a 10 year ban from entering the US once he leaves.

Good luck to marry an illegal alien who does not have proper identification.

Regardless of which method (spousal/fiance), one still has to explain why they were illegally present in the US. If it were just that easy to AOS, we wouldn't have so many illegal immigrants here.

Yep.....hence, the G-325a
