It is when one of them is here unlawfully.Is it that out of the ordinary for a couple to get marry, on the spur of the moment, in of all places... Vegas?
Sweetie, this isn't about romance or inspiration or any of that nonsense. It's about the VERY REAL possibility that your husband can BE DEPORTED for his unlawful presence, regardless of your marriage, because the government may decide that he only married you for a green card.
Mr. K wasn't being mean, he was trying to help you protect yourself.
If she thinks I'm getting personal, just wait for the interview....

We clearly understand that deportation can be what is decided. Despite the bubble gum'ish post, we are not taking any of this in that fashion. We are scheduled to meet with an attorney, and follow the process whichever route it may lead. This is someone who came here as a child and is dealing with the cards he was dealt the best way he knows how.
I didn't take what Mr. Knowitall said personally, I just didn't understand what non romantic/long term friends had to do with my post.
Thank you for your post.
Hang on - which one is true?
Someone who came here as a child?
Or someone who came as an adult on a student visa and overstayed?
There's a reason why I'm asking.

He came to the US as a child on a student visa.
Then I'm sorry, but it's virtually guaranteed that he will not be able to adjust status from within the US.
(That's not even touching on the issue of marriage - it's simply the overstaying the visa part)
