    Default Marrying an Illegal Immigrant While My Naturalization Application is Pending

    I would really appreciate a measure of guidance regarding the issue outlined below.

    My fiancee is a Honduran national who entered the U.S. illegally a little over five years ago. She was apprehended by the border patrol and given a hearing date before an immigration judge which she did not attend.

    She has a five year old daughter who was born in the U.S.

    We do not live together at this time but are planning to marry soon.

    My application for naturalization is currently pending with the USCIS. Will me marrying her jeopardize my application for naturalization?

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

    I would suggest completing your naturalization before any marriage. You will have to disclose information about your spouse in association with your application and that information could potentially be used to locate and deport her.

    I suggest that she consult an immigration lawyer about her situation, although I don't expect good news.
