    Default Want to Marry Illegal Immigrant, Any Other Options

    My boyfriend entered the U.S. illegally from the Philippines when he was 4 years old. He is turning 20 in March. During those 16 years, for some inexplicable reason, his father (now a naturalized citizen) did not petition him to become a citizen. Apparently, the father, in order to become a citizen, he had to have no children, so he said that he didn't even though he obviously did. My boyfriend has had no run-ins with the law, does not deal drugs, or anything bad commonly attributed to illegal immigrants. He wants to be a legal citizen so he can go to school and obtain legal work.

    Trying to get his father to petition him hasn't helped, and now his only viable option to become legal is by getting married. Either that, or we can wait for the Dream Act to get passed. Are there any other options for becoming legal?

    He entered illegally, and isn't even claimed by his father? He should consult an immigration lawyer.

    His father won't petition him because if he said he had children he wouldn't have been able to become a citizen. I don't know why that had to be the case, but since it's on record that the father denied having a son, if he tries to petition him now he thinks his citizenship may be revoked. Does it work that way?
