Is there a legal avenue to pursue permanent residency in the US without deportation if a person is already here illegally?
Question Details:
It largely depends on how the person came to be here illegally. If he entered the us unlawfully, under the current immigration laws there is no wary he can legalize his status within the us. If he entered the us lawfully and has since overstayed, he can adjust status to permanent residence on the basis of a bona defied marriage to a us citizen, only.
