how can i help my fiance get llegal in the US?

Additional Details:
we are getting married in june but he was deported 6 years ago he is courntly in the us what should
we do.
Legal Topic Area: Immigration in LA

If he was deported and then returned to the U.S. illegally, he is subject to a "permanent bar" to obtaining his residency. There is a waiver of the permanent bar after he has lived outside the U.S. for ten years. He will not be able to get a green card for ten years or more.

I suggest that you consult with an experienced immigration attorney before you tie the knot.

Good luck,

Mark
