Hi everyone- I am in need of help. My husband and i just received our interview date for the final processing of his visa (CR-1) in jauarez Mexico. We were waiting for 13 months and then in Oct. He got tired of waiting and crossed illegal. He has now been living with our son and I for the pass three months. Now we have to go back to Mexico for his interview and we are planning on being honest and letting them know that he was here illegaly...will we be punished because I have collected every piece of evdence they have require to show we have a marriage and I really can't stand the thought of him not being able to return to the US with us. They have to know that basically everyone comes to US illegal and I know it is wrong but he wanted to be with us. I heard something about a 10 yr. ban does this apply to us and what can I do to fix it? Or should we just not go to the interview in fear that he will not be granted a visa? please help and soon our meeting is Jan. 31, 2007

you should see an attorney. There IS a 10 year punishment for anyone who's been in the country illegally for more than 180 days. Maybe you'd be better off not even admitting that he's been here :S

good luck!

Then there is a three-year ban -- I don't know exactly triggers it but maybe you are at risk -- find and consult with a good immigration attorney.

I don't know the US rules for Mexican citizens to cross the border. But at 1st sight, inform with a lawyer if: was he illegal or not, due to the fact that his visa was pending which is different. But again, i speak generally...as for those who cross the border during the time their visa papers are pending...You can have advice from lawyers for a little amount of money....Good luck!
