Hello I am new on this site I think I stopped by and left 2 questions before about my situation. I am still going back on forth on this please feel free to give me any advice I need it.
Ok so this is my situation I am a citizen and my boyfriend is an illegal immigrant we would like to get married but of course our fear is that 10yr ban. He is Mexican and he has no criminal background other than being here illegaly. He came in June of 2001 and the day he attempted to cross to the states he was using a family member birth certificate in order to pass. Immigration stopped him and at the time a family member was helping him get through. Well they were stopped and asked questions about his identity he was a minor at the time 17yrs old. Well he confessed and said it wasn't his identity but the other family member took the blame that he gave my boyfiriend to use the birth certificate and my boyrfriend was fingerprinted and was told to leave the country. Well he didn't leave the country and has been here ever since illegally. About three years ago he got a matricular consular and about 1 1/2 ago he registerd in a community college. I was advised by a lawyer that he should go back to Mexico and I can apply him for a fiance visa. But wouldn't it be easy to tell that he has been here all this time illegally and wont that affect us in applying him as a fiance. I was told by another lawyer that we should just get married here and wait for a possible reforum which now I don't see it happening any time soon. Then I was told about the pilot program but I am not sure if we can use this no one who I have talked to doesn't know much about this program. I am worried that we won't get approved by the pilot program any advice on what would be the best thing to do.
Thanks:thumbup:

A lawyer advised you to have him return to Mexico, pretend he was never here and apply for a fiance visa? :wha:

Well, besides the fact that you will have to provide some information on how and where you met (and unless you've been a frequent traveler to Mexico during the last few years that might be a challenge), he was fingerprinted at the border, and that doesn't bode well for your chances.

If you do the legal route, and as you said, he has no criminal record, you have a great chance of not being separated long. In fact, with the pilot program, you could actually have him back with a valid visa (then you would have to do AOS after you married) within a year!

Check out this guide (http://immigrate2us.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2395) if you haven't already, and let us know what questions you have. Frankly, besides the things I mentioned above, no one on this board is going to encourage you to lie.
