So here is the case,
I just found out my boyfriend came here as an illegal immigrant (but before his 18th birthday, with some family). We wish to marry but he hasn't been back to his country in so long. He is originally from Ecuador. But because I face health issues (I have a disease & I have to use a wheelchair), there is no way I can go with him if he must return. Is there a way he can become a resident with out him returning to Ecuador? What is this process?

If he entered the U.S. with a visa, or if he or his parents were beneficiaries of either a labor certification application or an immigrant visa petition filed on or before April 30, 2001, he might be eligible to adjust his status in the U.S. based on your marriage. But if he is not eligible, he would need to return to Ecuador for his visa interview. By departing the U.S. he might trigger a 10 year unlawful presence bar on returning, but this ground of inadmissibility could possibly be waived upon showing extreme hardhip to you. Your health concerns could help with the waiver request. There are many other factors that need to be considered regarding his eligibility to immigrate lawfully to the U.S. I think you both should consult with a very experienced and highly reputable immigration attorney. In Montana, Deborah Smith is my go-to person.
