Hi,
I have a friend who entered the country illegally from Honduras 2 years ago (he was caught at the border and given a court date but never attended court). He has since had a child in this country with a USC and is still with the childs mother but they are not married. I spoke to him tonight and he said he was told that if he gets married to the USC he will have to return home for many years before he would be elligible for a green card. Is this true ? would he not be able to apply or a green card through marriage even though he has been here illegally. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !
