You have to wait until your ban is over before you move to the USA. Getting married won't change anything.    So I guess the reason for the ban was illegal work or something. Since they don'

Hmm, good question, I have always assumed that the answer would be yes, if you have a US Spouse and are seeking to Immigrate, not sure I have ever seen that specifically stated, seems obvious it would...

Those are my thoughts as well.....otherwise, it would be a very lengthy  across-the-border marriage.

Hello,

Few days ago i got denied entring the US on turist visa and got banned for the next 5 years . My 10 year turist visa also has been taken away. I have a boyfriend in California and we been talking about getting married for the past few months. Now since i cant enter the US he is planning on coming to my home country so we can do it here. my question is: Can i still apply for the green card , will they let me in back before 5 year period?! he cant stay in my home country for longer than 2-3 weeks cause of his work but we dont want to be separated.

 

Why don't you/your boyfriend seek help from immigration attorney?  Your case is very complicated, and I dont think you can get good help here.

Did you read the replies?

It's all right here. She broke the law and she's now paying the price. She had absolutely no right to work under her tourist visa and she showed no respect by breaking that rule. It may be sad, but it's also not wise.

your right on all accounts, It may be sad, It wasn't wise, and her punishment is certainly severe enough to make me feel bad for the couple as she actually got caught babysitting... blows my mind when the IRS wont even share the ITIN # of millions of illegally working illegal immigrants who pay taxes but they will go through a sad sacks phone to bust her for babysitting a few times... Of course I fully understand it s all about money, revenue for the government above all else should be the immigration motto.

It's not about other people breaking the law nor it's about how many times she worked. There's no way we could know how many times she did that. It might be 2 times or 200 times, you won't know because you weren't there. What is important is that she broke the law. Do not break the law and you will be fine. It's that simple, it's a golden rule everybody must follow.
