NY Flushing Queens, Manhattan immigration Lawyer Attorney news Marriage Family Sponsor green card Extension Citizenship reentry permit invite parents
In the past, I entered unlawfully by crossing the border through Canada. Can I still obtain a green card by marrying my citizen spouse?
Since I have no entry record — could going to Korea and re-entering as a tourist and then filing be a viable option?
I’m reaching out out of frustration.

You don’t need to feel so frustrated.
In this case, since there’s no entry record, we recommend the following approach:
1. Begin the green card process
2. File for and obtain approval on an inadmissibility waiver in advance, within the U.S.
3. Leave for Korea and then re-enter
This is the process, and there are many cases of people who entered unlawfully from South America, married, went through this process, re-entered, and obtained their green card, and are now living their lives. Up through step 2, this can all be done while living in the U.S., so there’s no reason to feel stressed about it.
