My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 months, and I am currently pregnant with his baby. He is an illegal immigrant from Mexico and has been in the United States for 10 years(since he was 15). I want him to become legal here so we can get married and not have to worry so much about him being deported.
I have a lot of questions, and a friend directed me here, so I hope someone can answer them.
1) Can he become a legal immigrant without leaving the country for a long period of time? I realize he will have to leave, but I don't want him gone for a year+
2) Should I claim him as the father on the birth certificate since he was here illegally when I got pregnant?
3)Should I not claim him as father on the birth certificate, go to Mexico after the baby is born, claim we met there after the child was born, and file for him then? Then he could just file for adoption of our child even though it is his?
4) Approximately how much does it cost to file all the forms for his citizenship if I file for a fiance visa?
Thanks and any extra advice would be helpful.
