Hypothetical: Bill entered the United States illegally in 2002. He later met Daisy, a citizen of the United States, and the two of them fell in love, got married, and have two children together. Bill is now very nervous about his immigration status. He has a lot to lose should he be removed from the United States. Therefore, Daisy wants to petition for Bill’s status as a lawful permanent resident (green card holder). The first step Daisy takes is to file an I-130 Petition for Alien Relative. The purpose of this is for the government to classify Bill as Daisy’s husband. Bill and Daisy include with their petition copies of their children’s birth certificates and other bills and joint expenses to prove that their marriage is valid and not only entered into for purposes of immigration.
