    F1 Visa Holder Marrying to Out of Status Man
    I am in love with a man that has been over staying in The States after his tourist visa was expired more than 5 years ago.
    I need to find out if getting marry to this man is possible as I am only holding a F1 student visa.
    If yes, will his status be changed? And if my visa would be affected in any way?
    Otherwise, does it mean that the marriage is not possible between me and him?

    Thanks so much.

    If you're in a state where he can marry without proving lawful status, he can marry.

    Marriage won't have any effect on his (lack of) status.

    Thanks Mr. Knowitall. So on the other hand, it will not affect my visa and status in any way either, right?

    Will he be able to stay here legally as a spouse of F1 visa holder (which is me)?

    Thank you so much if you could advise again.
    I really want to be with him but I also want to continue my study here.
