    Default Gaining Status For A Father Who's Illegal

    My children's father came to this country when he was 7 years old. The only issue is that his mother was going to jail in Mexico and the gov't took his younger sister. The other kids were out on the street and he was 7 years old at the time. His father used one of his nephew's passports to bring his son over to California where he lived till he was 22 years old. I met him in Chicago, IL in July of 2000 and he we have been together for 6 1/2 years. We have 5 year old and 10 month old sons. The only issue? We have been holding on for some sort of immigration path because I've spoken too two attorneys that said to just wait as there is nothing we can currently do. He came in 1987 and his father thru him out when he was 13 years old. He lived on the streets for quite a few years.

    Both him and I grew up with rough in our lives. I spent 18 months in foster care before being emancipated (independent living) in Minnesota and was released when I was 17 years old. Both him and I have no real family, and our son's have never met their grandparents and the oldest child met his aunt. I have no support system and no one to help me if we try to get him legal and he is denied. We are both afraid of him being sent back and I know it would prove hard for my 2 children. I currently am the only one working and its just stressful.

    I didn't know he was illegal till after September 11th, he suddenly was scared to find a job and do all those things.

    Now he is at home and I'm running everywhere and cannot get help with driving or a lot of other things. We want to get a matricula to marry and try to find a way to keep him here, however he has no photo ID and we don't know where to get a copy of his birth certificate from Mexico. His father doesn't talk to his son and we are under the belief he has retired and bought a house in Mexico.

    Here's what I know we do need to do:

    Get a copy of his birth certificate
    Get his matricula
    Get married
    Find away to see if he can get legal, and than take necessary steps to address that issue.

    How do I go about doing this?

    Contacting a lawyer in the Mexican city where your husband was born might help.

    Also, you can go to the website of the Mexican state in which your husband's city of birth is located and you can proceed from there on.

    Once you get the birth certificate, I think it becomes much easier to get the remaining.

    For that, he's going to have to deal with the Government of Mexico, and will probably need to figure out where he was born.

    Get his matricula
    Again, something you need to work out with the Government of Mexico.

    Get married
    You can do that anywhere you can satisfy the local licensing requirements. His lack of ID will likely be an impediment.

    As the immigration lawyers have told you, thats a problem. There's no direct path to do that, as he did not enter the country legally. He can leave the U.S. and try to get a waiver of the (ten year) period of exclusion based on family hardship. Before he tries that, though, I suggest that he work closely with a lawyer.
