My friend came to us illegally. He came through canada border without any inspection in 1999.
Last year in january 2006 he got married to U.S. citizen. Now he would like to know what is the right procedure to become legal here in U.S.

Re: illegal immigration
Unfortunately, the only way for your friend to become legal is to leave the country and go through consular process. In this case your friend will face a 10 year bar to enter the United States because of his/her long illegal presence here. The only way to avoid a 10year bar is to ask for a waiver based on extreme and unusual hardship for his/her spouse or parents. It is very hard to prove and you need to seek help from an immigration attorney if you decide to proceed with this matter.
