I'm trying to help someone who is way out of status. He's been thinking of marrying a citizen to help get his green card. I say he has to leave the country and come back on a fiance visa. What do you think?

However, his fiance has a criminal background. Will her background affect him negatively?
 
A violent criminal background of a K-1 petitioner (filer of Form I-129F) CAN interfer with or be the basis for denial of a fiance visa. IMBRA and the Adam Walsh Act address that issue.

What is the person's prior history and status? What is the code on the old EAD?
 
Hmm... it is not a violent background but prior drug addiction, theft on the part of the K1 petitioner. He entered on a work visa that expired one month later. His SS card is stamped for work only.

He thinks the best way to help his status is to get married to his fiance who is a citizen. But since he is already out of status, I don't know if that is true.
