My husband and i got married this month and are expecting a baby in november. We have been together 9 years. He has been living in US legally since 1996. He is from honduras. He has TPS status and employment authorization. I called USCIS and they said i would have to file I 130 because he initially came into US illegally. Even though he was granted TPS within 30 days and has done everything legally in the past 15 years. She said after that was approved he would have to return to honduras to apply for a visa. Any thoughts? We don't want him to leave especially since we are gonna have a newborn. Thanks

Generally speaking, beneficiaries of temporary protected status (TPS) are not eligible to become legal permanent residents (LPRs) of the United States. There have been occasional amnesty bills focused on specific crises or circumstances (e.g., for Chinese nationals after the Tiananmen Square massacre), but no general amnesty law exists.

Particularly if something might have been filed on your husband's behalf during your first few years in the nation, it would make sense for you to consult an immigration lawyer to discuss possible strategies.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
