steveandrong Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) My 23 y.o. nephew who lives in Alabama was engaged to marry a cute lass from Guatemala who also has a young child (2 or 3 y.o.)....they were going to get married in two weeks until she was recently pulled over for a driving violation and it was found she was here illegally and has since been deported back to Guatemala...presumably the marriage plans are on indefinate hold now...my question is, do they now proceed with normal immigration processes or will it quickly be denied because of her being here illegally in the first place?....should he go to Guatemala and marry her and then file CR-1 or will that also be shot down on first attempt also?...what are the opinions here about this for how to proceed, or if it is even worthwhile persuing?

dnoblett Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) Depends on how she entered the USA, if she entered LEGALLY but overstayed, a waiver will be needed for the overstay. If entered illegally, but voluntarily left the USA again a waiver may be done when dealing with the bar at the visa interview. In either case I would recommend an immigrations lawyer to handle the waiver.
