I have met someone whom I have fallen in love with and we wish to marry. The problem is he is from Costa Rica and he entered the U.S. illegally several years ago, after he returned from his 2nd visit to the U.S. 2 months past his VISA allowed (it was a 6 month VISA and he returned to Costa Rica after 8 months and was told he would not be allowed to apply for another VISA). He then entered the U.S. illegally (via Mexico) and has been self employed for 6 years and has supported himself financially since. He has not had any issues with the law what-so-ever.
I am a single mother, I have a 10 year career in the U.S. with the same company, and a home. It would be a financial hardship for me to consider leaving the country to live in Costa Rica.
We would like to know what options, if any, we would have for us to Marry and for him to stay in the U.S. and what would we need to do in order to make sure we go about this the correct way?
