same thing happened to my wife....firstly with the new regulations she has to wait in line...You must first call the INS office to get the packet needed for you...then you send in the packet with the money orders or check for whatever ''EACH'' form cost...usually runs from 700-to- about 2000. But during this time of ''adjustment of status'' she can stay because her man is the sponsor of her and responsible for her actions. Then they will tell you when and were to go for extra stuff..ex..fingerprints and such....Its a long and drawn out process and you will have a long fight with the INS ...at least i did and i was even in the military..

Maybe. It is not that simple. There is an entire, complex system of steps that need to be taken. One needs to become a "legal" immigrant. One has to file to stay. Money, employment, the past, proof of legitimate marriage, proof of intention to stay, proper paperwork, etc. etc. All these things have to be provided. Even then there is a citizenship course and process that has to be followed. Ultimately an immigrant CAN become a citizen, but you can't just come here illegally, marry someone, and be a citizen. It is a very complicated process. Ultimately, as you word the question, I have to say the answer is a big NO.

They should be sent back to their country. Sorry, but they are not here legally. They should look at their parents and ask them why they put them into this situation. You say that “The niece of a fellon shouldn't be punnished because of something that her uncle did. So why should the children of illegal immigrants??” Ok let look at that, let’s say her uncle stole a car and gave it to the niece, should she get to keep the car? Even if she really, really needs it to get back and forth to work, come on the niece didn’t do anything wrong and after all she had the car for a really long time. Of course she shouldn’t get to keep the car, she can’t benefit from crime. She’s not being punished by being made to return the car, but she can’t benefit from the crime either. So the child shouldn’t benefit from their parent’s crime, the child only needs to look at their parents to see who’s to blame for the mess they find themselves in. Sorry but law is the law, and sometimes innocent people get hurt. But the child knows who’s to blame, their parents. EDIT But was it FARE for them to take resources from Americans? California spends about 10 BILLION dollars on illegal aliens every year. They spend about $7.7 billion of that a year to educate the children of illegal aliens. Think about that one state spent almost 8 billion dollars to educate illegal aliens. Think what that money could buy, how much better would the schools be. Just so you know give me enough incentive, i.e. US citizenship and I’ll come up with all kinds of documented proof that led a life on the straight and narrow. When Jimmy Carter and congress gave amnesty to illegal aliens who could prove they were in the US for four years they could then apply for citizenship, well in just a short time you could buy the documents you needed to prove you were in the US for four years. What make you think it would be any different if you required those records? And can you really tell the difference between an 18 year old and a 21 year old? No not really, so now as long as I can pass for 18 and can get fake documents, anyone could apply and become a citizen. If they are trying to do the “right thing” then they would go back to their home country and apply to enter.

No! I am married to a man from Ecuador and he is not yet legal, and was'nt legal when I married him, but had a temorary passport, it just makes the process more fast then if someone was not married to an American, it also depend's on the American person's background, if they have a crimanl past or do not work, and havr'nt been working (such as paying taxes) then it can be no diffrence.

Not automatically like years ago.Now the illegal person has to pay a fine,go back to his country of origin and wait for a visa.This usually takes nine months.

no. that seems to be a common belief, but it's wrong. getting married to an american, however, will usually expedite the process, as long as there are no other factors involved.

Used to br so, but not now. It does sometimes shorten the process, but no longer is it virtually automatic.

no. It may speed up the naturalization process a bit, but it's certainly no guarantee.
