Seeking legal assistance.
My girlfriend is currently an illegal immigrant with an expired visa for the last 8 years. She has been married for the last 6 months to an American friend of hers so that she can stay and work in the US legally. They do not live together nor do they talk very often. They are currently scheduled for an interview to see if their marriage is legit. obviously it is not. if they deny her at the interview, she will be deported i assume? if that happens she will get the 10 year bar I believe. so her options then are to either leave the US forever, or get married to someone else. like someone she would WANT to marry. like myself. i have no idea what I am getting into, but i cant let her leave. and if she gets deported, i will not be able to get her back into the country.
my questions:
1) would it make more sense for her to get a divorce right away without going to the interview and marry me instead?
2) if she gets denied, will there be time for her to get a divorce and get re-married?
3) how should i handle this, i love her very much. i feel like i have found my soul mate, but i am afraid of the consequences. i am willing to do whatever it takes, but would like to be prepared. Im just trying to get an idea of whats about to happen and how I can be better prepared.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
