my dear disregard all the answers from prejudice people, no names but you know who, follow Khang 's answer, if you are a permanent residence you have a right like any other citizen to a family and whilst the law does not encourage illegal immigration there is what they call a waiver, your husband can adjust his status based on family, if your marriage is legit there is no need to worry, his will be able to get a work authorization while waiting for his papers to go through, takes about 24 to 36 months before he gets his green card, citizenship will take much longer, but read the I 485 carefully and file it to the right office, along with that file i 130, I 864,G325,I694,I765,make sure you complete all these forms together so your case is not delayed, make sure to check the poverty guidelines so you know how much you need to make before filing for him, if you don't make enough you can always find a sponsor,
good luckWhat do i file if i want to petition my husband that is already here in the united states?
Sorry joy but your husband is going to spend a long time for your husband to get his residency. In the U.S. the laws are thougher than anything right now for illegal immigrants to get any kind of help.It would be better for you to become a citizen before filling with Imm. The first thing you need to do is file Form I-130 that is the first step to get the immigration process going but don't expect to get any results fast.Also expect him to have to leave the country for sometime until a visa # becomes available for him to come to the u.s. as a legal resident. Go to USCIS.gov (immigration services) and there you will find what you need to submit and download the forms to fill out.If he doesn't want to leave you will have to wait until a law comes inot effect in where he could apply and stay while the process is going but who knows when will that happen.
This question gets asked on this board every day. The answer is the same today as everyday.
He cannot adjust his status while in the United States. He must return to the country where he belongs. Once there you can file a petition for him (using Forms I-130, G-325 and I-134) with the Citizenship and Immigration Service.
You can find the forms and instructions here......

For a Permanent Resident the wait for a visa is just over 5 years. For a US citizen there is no wait other than processing the paperwork.
In the end it's likely he'll be denied due to his having been an illegal alien. At this point you will file an appeal to the denial based on hardship. I recommend using a board certified immigration attorney for the appeal, but not the petition process.
The appeal can add another year onto the process. If successful he'll be granted an immigrant visa. If unsuccessful he'll be required to wait a period of time as a penalty (up to 10 years) before they will issue the visa.
No matter what anyone tells you on this board, this is the truth. The only other option is to wait around and hope for some kind of amnesty, and I don't believe that's going to happen.
joy, there is nothing to worry....
just fill out forms i-130, i-864, i-485, g-325a, i-765 and send them all to chicago...
read the instructions of each form carefully and if you have doubts call USCIS. they answer fast.
good luck to you and your family.
he needs to apply for citizenship because he can't do any of those things without it
since he is a criminal...hence the illegal part...he needs to be prosecuted and deported...and you should be convicted of aiding/abetting/harboring a criminal. Have a nice day
