Re: Help!
If your friend originally entered the US illegally (without inspection), then marriage will not save him/her. If he/she simply overstayed his/her visa, then your friend can likely become legal by marrying a US citizen and applying for a green card.
Re: Help!
By stating that you friend in the U.S. illiegaly, do you mean that he overstayed his visa/ or entered without inspection? Generally, by bona fide marriage with a U.S. citizen, a person who overstayed his visa can adjust his/her status.
