Continuous Presence For Cancellation Of Removal

Continuous Presence For Cancellation Of Removal
You probably have heard that if a person entered the country illegally, “nothing can help him” to obtain legal status in the United States even if she/he marries a US citizen.

Well, it is not quite true. It is very difficult for such a person to obtain a status, to wit: most of the time they cannot adjust their status in the United States without leaving the country, even if they marry a US citizen; but there are some very limited options.

US Asylum: Application And Process

How To File For Asylum Part IV

WHEN CAN I FILE FOR AN ASYLUM?
A person may file for asylum after he/she entered the United States and is still in the lawful status; when the status expired; when the person is an EWI (entered without inspection); when the person is subject to a 2 year residence requirement after the J-1 visa; when the person was previously ordered removed from the United States. A short answer is: a person may file any time, as many times as there are grounds for it (as long as the application is not frivolous). A person does not need to wait for his/her lawful status to expire to file for asylum.

The Problem with Papers

It can be very hard to be married to a person who was not a United States citizen. I met my husband working on a restaurant about five years ago. I spoke Spanish, so him and I talked to each other a lot. We ended up falling in love, even though he was an undocumented alien. I thought that if we got married everything would be fine and I was going to be able to help him become a citizen of the United States. I was very wrong, immigration to the USA is not as easy as people think. In order to get my husband legalized in the United States of America, we had to move to Mexico for three years. We have just now came back to the United States after three years of living in Mexico, and my husband is finally getting all his people work together to be a citizen. My example proves that Marrying an undocumented alien can be a headache.
