I entered the U.S. unlawfully through Mexico.
I departed from El Salvador and entered the U.S. unlawfully through Mexico. Since then, I’ve been living here, married a U.S. citizen, and am now going through the green card process — I’ve already received my work permit and Social Security number, and I even have an interview date scheduled. As an immediate relative who entered by crossing the border unlawfully, will I still be able to obtain my green card without issue?
If your nationality is Korean, this likely won’t be able to proceed at the final I-485 stage. You mentioned coming from a country eligible for TPS, but do you actually hold TPS status as a Salvadoran national? If so, you may be able to proceed through a waiver based on your marriage to a U.S. citizen.
