If you are married to a citizen for 8 yrs and your legal resisency has expired for the past 7 yrs and they?
Answer:
By legal residency do you mean a permanent resident? If so was it conditional, or did this person have a ten year green card? If it was conditional i.e. a two year green card, a person must remove the conditions in order to remain a permanent resident status, so yes this person could be deported if this conditional green card is what expired. If they were issued a ten year green card, a person does not lose their permanent residency even if the green card expires.
From USCIS....
Permanent Resident Card
The Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551, is issued to all Permanent Residents as evidence of alien registration and their permanent status in the US. The card must be in your possession at all times. This requirement means that you are not only required to have a currently valid Form I-551 at all times, but also that you must carry your currently valid Form I-551 on your person at all times. The Permanent Resident Card currently is issued with a 10-year validity. You status as a Permanent Resident does not expire with the 10-year validity. Only the card expires. The card is only valid up to the expiration date and must be renewed before it expires.
A Conditional Permanent Resident is issued a card valid for two years. In order to remain a Permanent Resident, the Conditional Permanent Resident must file a petition to remove the condition during the 90 days before the card expires. The conditional card cannot be renewed. The condition must be removed or you lose your permanent resident status. (See Form I-751 and Form I-829.)
The Permanent Resident Card (either unconditioned or conditioned) can be used to prove employment eligibility in the US when completing the Form I-9 for a new employer. It can also be used to apply for a Social Security Card and a state issued driver’s license. The card is valid for readmission to the United States if the trip was not greater than one year in length. If a trip will last longer than one year, a reentry permit is needed.
Yes, they can be deported. It doesn't matter who their married to, their Legal Residency is expired, they are NOW Illegal.
I have to know where you come from.If you have allowed your residency to expire then the citizen should file a petition on your behalf.you would have to pay a penalty before you are issued a new stay.I would like to talk to you more.you may email me
Yes, you certainly can be deported. Being married and having children is no home free card. You are the same as any other illegal immigrant.
