More details to this question:
Good afternnon, I need to know something before I go ahead with proceedings and I am not wasting your time or mine if you don't mind. My fiance who is an illegal immigrant who was brought to this country at age 15 and at the age of 22, he did something stupid that put him in prison and he is at garden State Youth Correctional Facility till Dec 12, 2015. He does have a detainer on him and signed a document at MCCI that he wasn't aware to what he signed which was for ICE to pick him up. 1. Would it be wise to marry him while he is incarcerated? Would it hurt him or help him to remain in this country. 2. Would you be able to assist with his case before he gets out? Can we get him to please stay in this country. He is being corrected and is in school and is working and is a model inmate if that helps his case in anyway. I w

Marriage while in removal proceedings or in the face of pending removal proceedings will be viewed skeptically by the immigration service, who may deny the immigrant petition that would have to be filed after marriage. If you are in love and want to be wed, then you should marry. You should not marry to just to obtain an immigration benefit. If the marriage is legitimate (i.e., not entered into just to get an immigration benefit), then such a marriage can be the basis of relief from removal, but usually requires proof of extreme hardship to the US citizen spouse (often a hard standard to meet). I would be happy to assist you with this matter. Contact me private for more information.
