What are the current laws on legalization thru marriage?

Does anyone out there in the immigration law firm or somebody from recent experience know what the process is for legalization thru marriage? It would be for a illegal immigrant, who entered illegally as a child. Now has a son and is looking for the best solution to get naturalized

There is no way for an illegal alien to become legal thru marriage or anchor babies if he entered illegally. They must return to their own country and will be banned for ten years. Sooner or later he will be caught and deported, be prepared. Should have thought about being legal before bringing a child into the middle of it. Correct term is illegal alien, not immigrant. They can blame their situation on the criminal actions of their parents.

The laws haven't changed. If the person entered without inspection (illegally), that person is simply not eligible to adjust status, despite being married to a US citizen. The US citizen spouse can file an I-130 petition but the foreign spouse still has to leave the US and apply for a visa from his/her home country. Because of the illegal entry, the person will be deemed inadmissible and will be banned from reentering for 10 years. They have the option to either wait out the ban or have the US citizen spouse try to file an I-601 waiver.

The current laws are the same as they always have been. Someone here illegally cannot gain legal status while they are living here. They must return to their home country to have their interview at which point their visa will be denied because they were here illegally. Having a child here will not change that nor will the fact they have lived here since they were a child.
In order to get legal status,they must return to their home country.

There is no current way for an illegal alien to become legal through marraige.

Illegal immigration is a crime and it doesnt get erased because you just get married. You need to go home wait out the 10 year ban and then you spouse can apply for you.
