Hello.
Sorry if this is a question that is asked frequently but I was hoping for a little information on steps for a U.S. Citizen to marry an undocumented immigrant (illegal alien, whatever your flavor) from Mexico. My girlfriend of 4 years and I are getting close to the point of wanting to marry. She has 2 kids, both born in the U.S., not mine, and I am a Natural Born U.S. Citizen and U.S. Army Veteran. I've looked around on the internet for open information and steps to take, but I always seems to find a dead-end with ads for attorneys. I know an attorney is going to be the end result, but I still like to find out everything I can before paying for something.
So, does anyone know of any specific forums that offer legal help on this topic? Has anyone here been through this process? I've read that she may have to return to Mexico for up to 10 years, but I really hope that isn't the case? I read that Obama is doing something with Immigration Reform that is supposed to offer a special waiver to immigrants that are marrying a U.S. Citizen, has this taken effect? Any other information would be great.
Thanks so much for any help, and if this the wrong forum, I apologize, but it seems like an Immigration issue of a sort.
