If the government doesn't catch you, you greatly increase your chances in having her immigrate legally by trying to fix this first. I'd suggest you get a great immigration attorney and have her leave for Mexico. (If you don't want to be separated, it shouldn't hurt to have you go with her for the months that it will take as you ARE a citizen.) Start the paperwork to have her come over to the US legally. As a spouse of a citizen, her odds of success are greater.

My experience with being married to someone who is/was illegal alien is that the person must return to his/her country of origin and apply for the citizenship there. Starting with the I-130 and affidavits, and eventually the I-601 which is a waiver asking to be pardoned for illegal entry/stay in the states. One thing that should be noted is the 3 year or 10 year ban that will bar the person from returning once they are out of the U.S., which is why you need that waiver. With enough letters of hardship the person can come back and complete the process. People told us it would take a few short months, but my husband has been gone since Nov. 2005. It takes a while, but you really have to stay on top of your case and turn in what they ask quickly and keep your info updated like your address if you move or things like that. The government does not care about breaking up families, even when children are involved. I handled all my paperwork without the help of a lawyer, but using one might make things go faster. Good luck.

Amarkov, in basic terms by using fact unlawful aliens are not given the comparable rights would not recommend they are much less human. think of roughly it, am i able to bypass to Japan, Germany or Mexico illegally and assume to get the comparable rights as their voters? Diel, what's your source approximately chinese language, cuban and different internationals "quite plenty exceeded" criminal papers? appears like a crock. consistent with Lou Dobbs, hispanics are best ethnic team admitted into the country legally. particularly some the illegals additionally do pay income taxes yet below identity fraud or robbery. What government help and different privileges you bearing on? Are you asserting that there is a fund incredibly for unlawful immigrants and voters have not got get entry to to the comparable centers? Get a clue! I agree that each and every physique people ought to come into the U. S. LEGALLY yet your baseless rant is uninformed.

You didn't indicate how long you have been married, but I'm sure no matter how long, you knew what was needed. It wasn't just what you didn't do that you have these problems, alot more people of other countries want to enter the United States. We are paying out alot of benefits to people that came to this country with very little and found they can can apply for all the benefits and money needed to live here and it is being known now.

State and federal prisons are full of people separated from their families. However, you have an easy solution. Move to any of the thousands of towns that border on Mexico. You can live on the Mexican side with your wife and work on the American side.

As an American citizen, you have priority in sponsoring your wife for immigration. I know because that's how I came to this country legally. My wife who is a US citizen sponsored me and in no time I obtained my permanent residence visa followed by citizenship.

What ever advice you, get it will not be as accurate as what will come from a lawyer. I was told she can not get back for 10 years. If you could move, It might be advisable to move to a border town. I have heard of people who commute accross borders, but I don't know how easy that is.

You love Mexicans so much, you should be willing to give up your life here and go ... RUN FREE, in the land of the peso ...
...wouldn't it have been easier, if Mexicans are "your thing", to just find some LEGAL Mexican woman or a Mexican-American woman? They're all over the place, it shouldn't have been too hard ...

If you are a citizen, then your wife can apply for citizenship as well. If you're merely documented, but not a citizen, then she has no legal protection.
