Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York
Travel & Marriage Question
Hello, I am a U.S. citizen engaged to
a Polish immigrant. He entered the
U.S. legally 9 years ago, but his Visa
has since expired. We live together
in NYC and plan to marry in the next
2 months and then file the proper
forms so he can be legal. My
question is: is it better to marry in
the state we live in (I would prefer to
marry in my home state of California)
and if we did travel to California, can
he travel by airplane without being
caught/deported? He recently
renewed his Polish Passport so it's
current, but he does not have a
current Visa. Thank you for you
help...

Re: Travel & Marriage Question
It is does not really matter where you get married. Traveling by air with no legal status or U.S. issued ID is always a risk.
For immigration purposes it does not matter where you marry.
Re: Travel & Marriage Question
Generally, for domestic flight an individual needs to show some kind of ID, like driving license, he is not required to show his passport.
