  The person posting is a USC  asking what the possible immigration paths are for their spouse.  Nothing against the TOS for asking and advising on  how to get on the right path no matter how sideways they are at the moment.   Against the TOS would be advising places to cross the border or to tell them to lie or continue on the wrong path .   VJ regularly helps people that overstay visa or "happen" to get married on a visitors visa.  If you think a thread is against the TOS use the report button.    

Thank you.

You are right,

 

In order for him to adjust status he must had entered the US legally...the overstaying part is not as critical (I have a friend of mine who successfully adjust to permanent resident through marriage after living illegally in the States for 11 years...the thing is that she entered legally through a tourist visa)

 

 

Thank you.  Yes from what we understand he can't AOS since he doesn't have a legal entry.  Congrats to your friend!

but the government will be sure to take as much money as possible and doesn't make them leave?

They do make them leave if they are caught by the department that deals with immigration.

Also at this time we own a small business, so no employer and also companies with under 10 employees at this time do not have the same requirements as larger companies in our area.

Self-employed means you are the employer. While the requirements to verify that employees are authorized to work vary based on multiple circumstances, the requirement to only employ those who are permitted to work exists everywhere.

Yes, I understand immigration does; however, I'm just pointing out some of the many double standards of the immigration laws.  If undocumented people are arrested, they are not always deported. I just wish it was more black and white.  If they aren't allowed, then why allow them to be here and not always deport if it is "illegal" and why give them access to pay taxes if they shouldn't be working? These are really rhetorical; I just think there are so many double standards.  

 

Yes; however, since he is self-employed and pays taxes, there is no additional requirement for us is what I mean.  When I said no employer, I meant no other company. I should have been more specific; I was just given access to reply to everyone (apparently I exceeded my 24 hour limit yesterday since I'm a newbie) and was trying to rush through and get caught up!  

 

Thank you again!

OP he cannot adjust here, he has to leave which will trigger the bar

speak to an attorney or the advocasy folks as this case has complex

situations. At this time think about border living ,he stays and pray for

the next 3.5 yrs to go by quickly, or for reform & IF there is any

would mot benefit someone who have entered withoit inspection

so many times.

You can file I 130 and in the meantime after approval you keep it refreshed

by contacting NVC annually to keep it live  (10 yrs)

Thank you!  Yes, we have reached out to several attorneys and waiting to hear back from some.   

 

You are the second person to suggest border living.  I'm curious does that just mean live along the border of Mexico and US? What would be the purpose of that or benefit rather than living further into Mexico?  Yes, I think we may proceed with the I130 just in case.  Thank you again!

People who live in Mexico by the Border but commute to the US for work.

Tax laws and Immigration laws are separate entities...they just intersect at times.

Going forward in any immigration benefits he may receive in the future, it's good that he has a record of paying US taxes on his income, even with no legal status.

Yes, I understand. I still feel the double standards are numerous when it comes to undocumented people and immigration law in general.  

Yes, I do believe him paying taxes is the "right" thing to do and should help with any type of possible options for the future.

Carefully check border areas to live

A   Think about th USC gaining work in say San Diego then commute to work daily

 

b   border living in SD side is safer than Texas border with the cartels.

 

c   Research & check areas to live & ability to cross daily

 

D   This can keep the family together while waiting & continuing to still earn US $

 

E   Talk to others here that is borfer living
