What would be the outcome of an American male [19] marrying an Indian female [18] to try to naturalize the female?
This is a cross post from r/legaladvice and was told to come here for the immigration/family part of this problem.
Two people, Fiona and Matt want to get married in the United States.
Fiona is an undocumented 18 year old female from India who is a good person (good at school, no criminal records, child of immigrants who overstayed their visa for 5+ years)
Matt, an American 19 year old male who has never had a job, and is in college with financial aid, wants to marry Fiona.
Matt wants to marry Fiona for 2 reasons:
1) Matt loves Fiona. 2) Matt wants to give Fiona a chance in America, since this is basically her new home.
Both Matt and Fiona trust each other (assume this has no part in the problem), and both live with their parents.
What would be the consequences/odds of Matt being able to marry Fiona? Would this negatively effect Matt financially? Would they even be able to get married if none have ever worked/filed taxes?
Edit: Matt and Fiona would marry in Maryland, USA
