Sigh...



Typical "thinly-veiled" can I break immigration law and get away it type
question. It's quote the popular trend on this board.



Can she get "away" with it? If married to a USC -- yes she will and
it forgives.



But unfortunately, as you yourself are demonstrating, thousands of
people take advantage of this -- and get people to come here on various
non-immigrant visa's, "overstay" and then "get married" later.



So yes she will be illegally here. She can't leave the country or get a
SSN or Work legaly, and heaven forbid she runs into any INS officer.
But when you become a USC, expect you two to go through a grilling of an
interview to verify you two are married (which i asusme you will be).



So in a nutshell -- if you want to know if she can break the INS law
now, and be forgiven later -- yes. Tons of immigraton law-breakers do
it all the time. Marraige and Tourist fraud is the #2 fraud besides border-
jumping and smugging with the IS.
