    Default Re: Can Illegal Marry Citizen With Legal Problems?

    No. But having entered the nation illegally, your girlfriend is not entitled to adjust her status on the basis of marriage. She can consult an immigration lawyer about the options available to her and how your criminal record might come into play if, for example, she left the country and tried to get a waiver of her period of ineligibility to reenter the United States.
