My boyfriend has a deportation warrant can we get married to keep him here or will he still have to go back?
Answer:
I really don't think so. It could depend on what state you live in based on the marriage but I am pretty sure he will still be deported. I know someone that was married and had kids with a guy and they still deported him. TWICE. They said if she wants to live with him she has to move to Mexico.
Something about this sounds fishy to me. If he is "paying taxes" then he has to have a tax id number (ie. social security number) How does he have one if he isn't here legally?
If he has been here 27 years, he had his chance in 1986 to become legal. If he wanted to be legally here, he would be.
Therefore, he is being deported and there isn't much you can do. Call immigration or contact a lawyers, but other than that, I don't think that there is much you can do.
Good luck to you.
Also, if he is illegally here, there is no way for him to be working legally.
You see no part that you had in creating this problem at all?
I feel sorry for your children, however.
Under current law, I think there is nothing that can be done if you mean an actual order. However, you had better speak to an immigration attorney, not us.

And why on earth wouldn't your baby ever see him? Americans can visit Haiti. Or go there to live, for that matter.
If he's been held by immigration you'll need to talk to a lawyer/immigration consultant about his situation. Also see if you can get your boyfriend's doctor to write a letter stating that your boyfriend is not fit for travel (you may need a letter from your boyfriend or a court order to get the letter before the doctor will release it).
You might find it a bit hard to get married if he's being held by immigration. Not to mention filing the paperwork would be more difficult with immigration because the warrant is issued and they are aware of it.
Hope you can stand an honest response because you are going to get one.
Your boyfriend's unlawful action and your aiding and abetting him has landed you in this situation. You made your bed, now sleep in it.
Illegal immigration is a monumental problem for this country. Are you asking me to say your boyfriend is OK but all the rest have to get the heII out? My neighbor waited 10 years to immigrate and studied another 7 to get his citizenship. That's a total of 17 years to do it legally. Your boyfriend has been doing it illegally for 27 years. Sorry lady, I will not stand my neighbor and friend up and kick him in the groin as I welcome your illegal boyfriend.
I wish you luck but I will be working against you and anyone else like you for as long as I live...
He has to go back regardless of your marrying him. You might be better off letting him go back and petitioning him through a Fiance' Visa.
The Immigration laws have changed many times since 9/11, and are being redesigned as we type. INS is under Homeland Security, and the laws are tight.
If possible, his best action would be to return on his own before he is deported. If you could tell the authorities that you will buy the airfare, and he will voluntarily return home without being deported, it is a plus in his favor. If he is deported, it might be an automatic 10 years before he can re-apply. If he goes back on his own (before deportation proceedings), then he has a chance to get here earlier than 10 years.

Unfortunately, Medical Conditions, Love, Children, and Paying Taxes aren't considerations. I know it hurts. I hope this helps.
Great story.
Why didn't he apply for the amnesty that was given back in 1986? According to you he'd been here illegally for 6 years at the time Reagan handed out amnesty. Almost 4,000,000 illegal aliens became citizens back then. The deadline for the 1986 amnesty was extended over and over and over. They were still taking applications into the early 1990's.
I am sorry to say that if he didn't have a green card and was here illegally then you can marry him but that won't keep him here.
Consult with immigration attorney IMMEDIATELY! This is out of your hands. You really need their specialty.
You knew he was illegal, right? So then, you both caused your own problem, right? Do you both suffer from mental retardation? If not, then why should we be sympathetic to your cause? Well when he is deported, take your kids and follow him. Bye!
How long have you known he is illegal? 27 years is a long time. Illegals can and do apply for residency all the time and have a very good chance of staying when they do. He did not have a legitimate job however. Just because he paid taxes means nothing unless you wish to imply that since he is illegal he should be exempt from taxes. In other words illegals should get the same police, fire,and educational benifits as everyone else but not have to pay for it.
Get a lawer, but he probably will go back. He can then apply for legal immigrtion.
I guess you and your kids can move with him. he really should have thought about getting his citizenship. then he wouldn't be putting his family through this.
I doubt that anyone is without sympathy for your situation, but in those twenty-seven years why didn't your boyfriend take advantage of the two amnesty programs that were offered to illegals?
27 years and he never took the time to get it done legally huh? Seems to me, if I had all that good fortune (job, wife,kids) in my new country, I would want to take care of all legal dilemmas before they bit me in the ***. What the hell do you want us to do about it? Sorry you guys were assuming this would just blow away like a fart in the wind...
Get a good lawyer, probably for medical reasons he can stay, but deportation is a big name here, and 1% of people can beat deportation, his case is serious, get all the medical evidence, and get a good lawyer to see what they can do for him.
