Hello i'm new to the forums, and I wan to get some feed back from you guys first, to petition my wife.
We from South Carolina in the Upstate area.
Me, 28, I became a U.S. Citizen this year 2017, and was a permanent resident(GC Holder) for 15 year before that.
All of my families are either GC Holders or citizens.
My wife, 27, is undocumented, and she was brought up here, illegally, by her parents from Mexico when she was like a 12 year old kid. Went to middle and high school. have a ITIN tax ID.
She did went back to Mexico by the end of 2012 and came back summer 2013.
On her way back she got caught once by Border Patrol and send her back. they told her she could not come back for 5 years. But she successfully cross the border the next day.
She did work and file 2013 taxes with her ITIN. don't know how that employer allowed it, but it did happened.
None of her family are GC holder or citizen.
We now have an American Child born early this year 2017. .
We're not Officially married, but I do claim as married and file jointly with her using her ITIN since 2015 tax year.. (Common law marriage in SC). Been living together since 2014.
Based on the information provided, what are your guys opinion on my case for petition her?
And if I start a petition case, should we get officially married first or not?
I have deal with overstayed visas from my families. but never a this types of case.
I will really appreciate any info.
