    Default Married to a U.S. Citizen but Afraid to File

    hi ,
    spouse Came on a tourist visa, in 1996 at age 16. Been in the US for 15 yrs. now married to a us citizen. Won the DV lottery in 2005 but application was denied. Afraid to file to adjust, because he has been working with a fake work permit. Although it is under his name. and ssn # he has gotten from original work permit giving on the DV lottery case, which was a real one. Stupid as he was and desperate i might add he did that
    Does he have any chance at all of adjusting his status and be forgiven for working with a fake permit? or is he a lost case. Never been in any crime, not even a traffic ticket except for that crime.

    The reason for the DV denial could be an issue; there may also be a deportation order pending. Other issues you mentioned are not generally problems with a marriage to USC as the basis for filing. You and he should speak with an immigration attorney with all documentation.

    he never received any deportation orders. COuld there be a deportation order without notifying the person? Aren't they supposed to inform the person by mail?
