    You have never interacted with the US immigration system, right?

    Even if you marry a US citizen, you aren’t eligible for a green card if you stayed in the country without legal status. You are required to leave the country, wait 10 years for the violation to clear out from your record, apply for a green card at the embassy, wait 2-3 years for approval, and then re-enter the country. Approval is unlikely for anyone with past violations, so I wouldn’t plan on approval anyways.

    For the people involved in this, it’s unlikely that they will ever be together again (unless they re-enter the country without papers).
