    Default Criminal Charges for Marrying an Illegal Alien

    I'm marrying a girl soon that is here on an expired work visa. I love her but I was wondering if it was possible to be brought up on charges for aiding and abetting an illegal alien, or something to that effect? I know that we'll have to jump through a lot of hoops to make her legal, and I'm ok with that, I just don't want to think that it may end with some kind of criminal offense.

    Marrying her is not a criminal offense. So relax.

    AND...

    You say she's here on an expired work visa...so she entered legally and simply overstayed?

    You can actually help her get legal. After the wedding, file Form I-130 and Form I-485.
