I am an illegal immigrant who's been in the state of CA since the age of 3 (I am now 26). My fiancee is a US citizen and we were trying to figure out if it would be better to get married here in the US, or in Mexico, where we are planning to move for as long as it takes for me to obtain some kind of legal status.

You would most likely be better off being married in the state of California since a return to Mexico would bar you for 10 years from the U. S. because of your unauthorized stay since the age of 3. If you marry in Mexico and your wife files for you, you would have to be denied an immigrant visa, told to file for a waiver, and then have to file for and receive an I-601 waiver before you could return to the States. Such waiver would be based upon establishing extreme hardship to your wife if the waiver was not granted and you had to stay in Mexico. If in the States, you could file for an I- 601A provisional waiver which you could wait for and see the result of before making a decision to leave the country.  The criteria for waiver would be the same as with an I-601 – hardship to your U. S. citizen wife if the waiver is not granted. Assuming that the I-601A is approved, your consular processing would in all likelihood be normal. Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

What are my options of coming back to the US if I was deported due to marriage fraud?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
When a case is denied for marriage fraud, you are not allowed to obtain a green card through any other family relationship. You can ask for a non immigrant waiver of this, if you want to enter the US on a temporary basis, for example to visit or on a work visa. Otherwise if you are the victim of a crime in the US, you may qualify for a U visa and a green card via that route.
