    Unhappy How Can He Become a Citizen

    I recently got married to a wonderful man. The only problem is, he isn't a U.S. citizen. His parents brought him here illegally when he was around the age of 12. He pays his taxes, pays his bills, always finds great work, and also he cares for me since I have a heart condition. Other than2 traffic violations (no liscence) his record is clean. He really wants to become a citizen but we just don't know how to go about it. Its really important because we dont want to worry everyday that something might happen to him and I will be here alone. I can live on my own money wise but not when it comes to my heart. I have no imediate family other then my uncle but he also doesn't have a permanant home. I just don't know what to do to get his citizenship..any help??

    Default Re: How Can He Become a Citizen

    The road to citizenship starts with legal permanent residency which he cannot obtain through normal channels since he entered illegally. (If he is less than 18 1/2 years old, he needs to see an attorney and prepare to leave immediately since his illegal stay is not yet an insurmountable problem.) He has a ban which can be waived only under very strict conditions.

    You need to engage an attorney specializing in his situation (and waivers) for his best chance of becoming legal under current laws.
