My friend wants to marry her bf in an immigration detention will she be able to?

More information is needed about the offense to determine whether the marriage will help him. In quite a few situations, the Immigration Court must still deport him in spite of his marriage to a U. S. Citizen. Whether your girlfriend can get married with a detainee will depend upon the detention center policies and the ICE Detention and Removal Operations Officer who is assigned to his case in your area. It is unclear whether your attorney can afford to spend the time to arrange for a wedding. Perhaps, your girlfriend will have to look into this with his family, where they lawfully reside in the U. S. Good luck.

Yes, she can marry him. Please click the link below for additional information. --------- Carl Shusterman, Esq.
