Is there any chance of obtaining a green card while in the middle of removal proceedings?
Someone I know is currently detained due to removal proceedings.
I am a U.S. citizen — I’d like to know whether, if I were to marry this person, they might be released, or whether they could be exempted from removal.
The reason they were placed in removal proceedings matters most. If it’s not simply a status issue, but instead involves a serious crime or something like immigration/document fraud, this could be very difficult. If it’s not one of those more serious issues, marrying a U.S. citizen could provide a solid basis to fight the case strongly. In other words, there is a possibility.
