Hi,

Nothing is ever sure regarding immigration even when you're "legal".

There no sure way. Nevertheless, it depends on what kind of "illegal status" you're talking about. If it's a short overstay, things usually go pretty smooth (I said usually, so it means it could still go wrong!!). If it's a long overstay (more than 180 days) it can be more complicated. As for being in the USA after entering illegally I'd say there's not much hope there.

So maybe if you give more detail, people here can tell you what could be the best thing to do in your case.

There is a big difference between here "illegally" and someone who has overstayed their visa.

Please provide more information so we can help you better.

Also, your post seems to imply that you are considering marrying a USC simply for the greencard and this is ILLEGAL. We cannot help you break immigration laws.
