Citizen status?
Answer:
I need more facts.
Is your wife a U.S. citizen? If yes, then you can apply for a K visa or for Permanent Residency (see first two links below).
However, since you entered this country illegally, you may want to go back to England and file the paperwork.
A person may receive a K-3 visa if :
The person has concluded a valid marriage with a citizen of the United States;
The person has a relative petition (Form I-130) filed by the U.S. citizen spouse for the person;
seeks to enter the United States to await the approval of the petition and subsequent lawful permanent resident status, and,
has an approved Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiance, forwarded to the American consulate abroad where the alien wishes to apply for the K-3/K-4 visa. The consulate must be in the country in which the marriage to the U.S. citizen took place if the United States has a consulate which issues immigrant visas in that country. If the marriage took place in the United States, the designated consulate is the one with jurisdiction over the current residence of the alien spouse,
A person may receive a K-4 visa, if that person is under 21 years of age and is the unmarried child of an alien eligible to be a K-3.
So that the alien spouse and child may apply for a K-3 nonimmigrant visa for a spouse and a K-4 nonimmigrant visa for a child, the citizen must file Form I-130 on behalf of the alien spouse with the applicable Service Center having jurisdiction over the citizen’s place of residence. The citizen petitioner will then receive a Form I-797, Notice of Action, indicating that the I-130 has been received by the USCIS. The citizen should then file a copy of this I-797, along with a Form I-129F on behalf of the alien spouse and any children, to the following address:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
P.O. Box 7218
Chicago, IL 60680-7218
Petitioners should be careful to follow all instructions on each form and provide the Service with all necessary documentation. Following adjudication of the Form I-129F, the petition will be forwarded to the applicable consulate so that the alien beneficiary or beneficiaries may apply to the Department of State for nonimmigrant K-3/K-4 visas.
On the other hand, President Bush has been publically lobbying for amnesty for illegal immigrants who have paid taxes for a period of time, to be eligible for permanent residency. You may want to wait until his term has expired.
Please note: there is no such thing as "automatic citizenship" derived from long-term residency.
You should consult an experienced immigration attorney for further info.
