Can my wife sponsor me to get my papers?

Bad news. Your wife can file an I-130 petition (for an alien relative) for you with the USCIS. It costs $420 and takes about 5 months to be processed. Thereafter you will have 2 problems: 1) Your wife will need to provide an Affidavit of Support for you. Basis for this is her latest income tax return. So if it's just she, you, and the baby, you have a household of 3 people. The minimum she needs to make after taxes is $23,162 http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-864p.pdf That's the small problem, as you guys could find a co-sponsor. The big problem is this: 2) You will need to leave the U.S. to attend the mandatory interview at the U.S. consulate in Ciudad Juarez. But when you leave the U.S., you will trigger a 10-year bar for unlawful presence of 1 year or longer. The clock started ticking when you turned 18; before that it was your parents' fault, from age 18 on it started to become yours. This would mean that you and your family need to live in Mexico for 10 years, before you can come back. Now . . . here's the tiny little light on the horizon. a) I'm quite sure that in late 2013 or early 2014 the DREAM Act will become law. You would qualify, but you would need to go to college for 2 years or join the military. Since a decent career and income is the key to happiness, doing community college part time after work is probably a good idea anyway! b) There's a waiver available for this 10-year bar, the I-601, but it's friggin expensive and too complex to explain it to you right here and now. What matters is that President Obama has indicated that he wants to change the waiver process, so that you would be able to apply for it while still in the U.S., and then only leave when you have the waiver in hand. That way you wouldn't stay outside the U.S. for longer than a few days, perhaps a week or two. Again, we're talking proposals yet, nothing is going to happen this year before we vote for the next President in November.

An illegal cannot adjust status in the US Marriage and babies will not help either ..that is a myth To become legal you have to return home There is a specialty forum one that deals solely with your unique issue. http://immigrate2us.net

She will need a co-sponsor when she petitions for you. How can she show she can support you when she can't even support herself. Marriage and a baby does not change your status. After she petitions for you, you will have to go back to Mexico to have your interview. At that point you will be denied and given a 10 year ban on returning. She will then have to file a waiver if she can prove extreme hardship without you here. You must remain in Mexico until you are given permission to come back. Could take up to a year if the waiver is approved, 10 years if it is not.

She can petition for an immigrant visa for you but it will be rather expensive even without attorney assistance. The problem is that she will have insufficient income for the required affidavit of support. This could be overcome if she has a co-sponsor willing to help. If you entered unlawfully after petition approval you must apply for the visa at the US consulate in Juarez. Since you will face a ban on visa issuance, you will need approval of a waiver before the visa can be issued.
