Q: when you marry an illegal immigrant/ hire an immigration lawyer that this makes obtaining any form of citizenship easie?

A: Yes, the statistics on Immigration Case approvals are much higher when an attorney represents a couple for a marriage base green card compared to when the couple does not hire an attorney. A United States citizen can sponsor his or her spouse for a green card if the foreign spouse entered the United States with permission, despite that she may be out of status. If she entered the United States illegally, you can still sponsor her, but it’s much more complicated. You should reach out to one of us privately for a free consultation.

A: Marrying someone who is undocumented does not automatically make obtaining citizenship easier - the process remains complex and requires careful attention to legal requirements. Each case is unique, and previous immigration violations can actually create additional challenges.

Working with an experienced immigration attorney can help navigate this intricate process more effectively. They understand the documentation needed, filing deadlines, and potential complications that might arise. They can guide you through options like adjustment of status or consular processing, depending on your specific situation.

Remember that entering into marriage solely for immigration benefits is considered fraud and carries serious legal consequences. The government thoroughly investigates marriages to ensure they are genuine, including conducting detailed interviews and reviewing evidence of your shared life together. I recommend consulting with an immigration attorney who can review your specific circumstances and help determine the best path forward while ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.
