Need advice

[A&Vparamo 0]

 so I need some advice on what to do and how to help my fiance. we have known each other for five years and have been together for 2 years of that five. He is undocumented he has been here since 2000 and he has  an 11 year old daughter. He has never gone to get any kind of documents, and he has not had any kind of criminal activity in the United States since he's been here. The only thing he has had is tickets for driving with no license but he has paid those fines.  A lot of the deportation that's going on around my town has put a hold on us going through with going to the courthouse to get our marriage license. He is afraid but they may get him if we do so. So question # 1....Is that possible for them to get him at the courthouse for us getting marriage license? #2... what do you recommend for me to do in order to help my fiance become u.s. citizen? And #3...  after we do get married what are the necessary assets that we need to follow through with to have to prove our marriage is real?

The fact that he is undocumented is a huge problem.  Not much you can do to fix it

Yes i know that is a huge problem. But i just want to know if there is hope out there that i can help him. I dont want to see him get taken away from his daughter or me and my 3 children. Two of my children have already lost their father, not because he got deported, he just didnt want to be here in US anymore and now he can not re-enter the US. And to bare seeing a child lost a parent isnt good. Thank you for your reply back.

If he has never been inspected upon entry to the US, I don't think he has any basis for remaining and adjusting status. I would at least consult an attorney to get an idea of what his options are, although I think they are very limited.

 

EDIT:  Yes, they can arrest him at ANY time.

This is not meant to sound insensitive or harsh, but have you considered moving to his country?  If he is deported, or if he leaves the US, he will face a lengthy ban.

Yes I have considered it and yes I probably would do it. As you yourself know what love is you will do whatever it is for whatever you want

if he entered the US legally and overstayed there is a chance under the 245-i clause under the law. I also entered the US in 2000 and later adjusted under that specific law. PM if you need asistance on a referral. The attorney i used is pretty competent on that issue

Obviously you don’t know that undocumented means exactly that.

not having proper documentation to live here and not having been inspected to enter here.....different things

Do all undocumented immigrants sneak across the U.S. border?

Some, but not all. Although accurate numbers are hard to come by, it’s clear that a significant number of undocumented immigrants originally came to the U.S. legally, whether as tourists or on some other nonimmigrant (temporary) visa, and then failed to leave.

undocumented or not, he can not get a marriage license without a current valid form of ID. Drivers License, State ID Card, or passport. HE has to have one of those plus whatever other documentation your State required (they are all different)

 

He could be arrested and deported for jaywalking at this point.

Just asking "and he has not had any kind of criminal activity in the United States since he's been here". Isn't that criminal activity?

[Bfree3 132]

If a birth certificate counts as a valid id AND he has it in his possession or can have it mailed to him.. Get the license(literally takes less than 5 minutes- so you are in and out) have your own ceremony and aos.  You’ll probably still want to consult a “ competent” lawyer to wade through any issues that may come up. I quote lawyer part because it seems like alot of persons have issues with immigration lawyers sadly and just end up wishing they did everything themselves. 🤷🏽‍♀️
