There are approximately eleven million undocumented people living in the United States, and most of them have family members who are U.S. citizens. There is a common perception that marriage to a U.S. citizen puts undocumented immigrants on a quickandeasy path to U.S. citizenship. But for people who have entered the U.S. unlawfully and live here without papers, the line to legal status is neither short nor easy, even for those with spouses who are U.S. citizens.Becoming Legal: Immigration Law and MixedStatus Families follows mixedstatus couples down the long and bumpy road of immigration processing. It explores how they navigate every step along the way, from the decision to undertake legalization, to the immigration interview in Ciudad Jurez, Mexico, to the effort to put together a case of 'extreme hardship' so that the undocumented family member can return. Author Ruth GombergMuoz also discusses families' efforts to rebuild their lives in the aftermath of immigration processingboth for those who are successful and those who are not.
