Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

Hello everybody, I am an undocumented immigrant that entered legally almost 9 years ago. I will be getting married with my fiancee who is a resident, able to apply for citizenship in November this year. I have some traffic court issues (driving without licence duh) and i am affraid that if given any jail time i will be deported. If i marry and start my immigration process before going to court, would that help in any way? Is there a way to modify the claim made by my husband after he becomes citizen to speed up the process?

I would appreciate an answer. Thank you

First of all, you need to defend the traffic violation in order to avoid jail time; in what jurisdiction is your ticket? If it is in VA, one of our attorney can assist you with your traffic violation.

Second, it is always recommended to start the immigration process as early as possible as to avoid and/or defend any deportation proceedings. You can marry your fianc� now as long as it is a good faith marriage. (you mentioned that: �you are undocumented immigrant that entered legally��) Please clarify this. Were you inspected at the time of your entry in the United States? You can call me at 703-861-0394 to discuss your options.
