Hey, that's nice of you to help him, I'll explain you how it goes:
He entered legally with inspection WITH a valid visa? with HIS visa and HIS documents? if so - once you're a citizen and you two get married he will file for a Green Card and get a SSN and everything.
However, if he entered illegally without inspection (illegally through the border) or he entered with someone else's documents - he is not entitled to adjust his status even if you are a US citizen and you two get married.
There's the DREAM Act, maybe he can benefit from it. Did he arrive the US before he was 16? did he graduated from a highschool in the US? he's in the US for more then 5 years? if all the answers are YES, and the DREAM Act pass - he will be be able to get a Green Card if in the next 6 years he will (1) Complete a 2 years college. (2) Complete 2 years in the military (armed forces).
Another DREAM Act requirement is that he's under the age of 35, but it might even change for 40 or they will even cancel the age limit.
To you second question, nothing will speed any process because you are a Permanent Resident and not a citizen. |

I am a permanent resident sponsoring my husband who is an illegal immigrant, It doesn't exactly work like that... it takes a lot longer if you are a permanent resident opposed to a citizen.. you would still have to wait until they have processed his papers that you have filed with immigration. I files mine back in 2007 and we are still waiting... he cant renew his license because he doesn't have a social. And just because you are married and have STARTED his papers, it doesn't mean that he is free from deportation if you have a child with him it's the same thing also. It was a misconception that I believed and I talked to my immigration lawyer about it and he could still be deported. it just takes time. Have you ever thought about becoming a citizen to speed it up any? |
