    Default Marriage to an Undocumented Immigrant

    Hello,

    I am a permanent resident who is planning to marry an undocumented. She entered the US illegaly and has been working with a made-up social security number. She just earned an associates degree but is planning to soon go back to her native country to continue with her education since it is very expensive here for her. Given the circumstances, is it possible that her illegal status changes when she marries me? if yes, approximately how long will it take and what are the steps to follow? Does she have to stay or is it ok if she leaves after marriage? Thanks a lot in advance

    She will be subject to an automatic bar from re-entering the country (likely 10 years).

    That's if she's allowed to return at all - she's committed several crimes in addition to entering illegally.

    She will be unable to become legal even if you were to become a US citizen because her initial entry was illegal. Are you prepared to live outside the US if you marry her?

    Do you realize that she has possibly destroyed someone else's credit by using a false SSN? Do you really want to be involved in identity theft by your spouse?
