    Default Green Card Holder Marrying An Illegal Immigrant

    On the way here my boyfriend did got caught (he is Guatemalan) but they let him go. They gave him some paper and he went to court for it but was rejected. Now it's been two years that he avoided the authorities, and we are engage. Problem is I'm only green card, I've been green card since 1989. I want him to stay here with legal status, I know marrying him might not guarantee the status but what if I marry him in his country and try to bring him here. Any suggestion? I have 2 kids, not his but he has been helping me with everything. Will my green card status help in this case or should I apply for citizen?

    You're making us guess what happened. I would guess that you mean (a) he entered illegally, (b) he tried to get TPS (temporary protected status) and was rejected, (c) he was ordered to leave the country, (d) he has flouted the order and is dodging the USCIS.

    If all of that is correct, leaving aside issues of your status, even if you were a citizen there is no way for him to adjust his status and stay in the country. He should consult an immigration lawyer.
