Can someone who entered by crossing the border unlawfully still apply for a green card as an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen?
I’ve heard that an immediate relative of a U.S. citizen can still obtain a green card even after being out of status. So I’m planning to move forward with this.
Is it still possible to file even though I entered by crossing the border unlawfully?
You must have entered the U.S. lawfully. Without an entry record, this path isn’t available. Even if you entered unlawfully, there are other ways to pursue a green card, but they don’t fall under this particular pathway.
