Adults have been known to choose unwisely from time to time. In this case, the adult is your daughter. The key is, ADULT. You may offer suggestions, but not commands. Likely to be married one way or another. Your walking her down the isle is nothing more than the love of a father trying to make his daughter happy. In a nutshell, all it really is. Going forward, it sounds like she will be the bigger breadwinner. He on the other hand can not really get too far. He also probably would not leave the US to get the green card first cause he is supporting his kids (however old they are). They need the money so he stays. Precarious position he is in, and by extension your daughter will be in. I would offer help to gain legal status in US starting NOW, and walk her down the isle. Good luck to you and your daughter on whatever you decide. I should be tall and rich too; That ain't gonna happen either | |||

I wish you the best. Tough situation. But sadly I predict it won't end well. --------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

As someone who is younger, and dumber, here's my take: The woman in question is 46, which means that this "marriage" will most likely result in no children. She's pretty close to menopause anyway, and would be a fairly high risk pregnancy in any case. That being said, this is then a formalizing of the shacking up arrangement they currently have. I think almost everyone is approaching this from the standpoint of a 20-something girl getting married to an illegal, with the attendant childbearing/family implications. That is almost certainly not the case here. I'd phrase the OP's question slightly differently, with age exaggerated for emphasis: "My 70 year old daughter wants to marry an illegal alien for her second marriage, should I walk her down the aisle?" I'm sure that would change the answers substantially. | |||

Of course it would. His immigration status has nothing to do with it. Why do people speculate on specialized legal matters when they know they don't really know anything about them? The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Because we have you and JALLEN here to straighten our ignorant asses out.  "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Mild necro-post to gigalligan to see what the status is...just curious. Hope everything works out! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way.

The problem isn't what you know, it's what you know that isn't so.  ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||
