Can I legally marry an illegal immigrant to keep them in the United States?

Reza Athari
Answered by attorney Reza Athari (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
You mention bf and I assume you mean boy friend and not best friend. If he is your boy friend and you plan to get married for Love and not necessarily to help him, yes that might be a way for him to become legal. Assuming that he has not travelled back and forth, if he came in the US with a visa, yes he can become a permanent resident without leaving the country, but if he crossed the border without inspection, he will have to depart and have his interview with a US consulate abroad and apply for a waiver. In any event, this is a very important matter and there are a lot of issues that needs to be dealt with by an experienced immigration attorney. Let us know if we can be of help.

Your getting married does not affect your relationship to your parents immigration-wise. You are still eligible to sponsor your parents for permanent residence. Note that the addition of a spouse does increase your household size by one more, and so if you eventually give an I-864 affidavit of support, the amount of support must cover one more person. That one more person, however, can also be a plus if the person is working and has income to contribute to the support of your parents.
