I am filling a petition for my father, he left USA 10 years ago after he stayed 14 years in the United States as a illegal and was ordered to abandon the country by a court of immigration. He married a American citizen but they never finished the process
Assuming that your father is not barred for any reason other than being in the US for one year or more illegally, he should be able to immigrate provided there is no problem with financial support. He may be asked about his marriage to the American citizen as an attempted fraudulent marriage would be a permanent bar.
