My husband has been in US 13 years. We are married. I'm a US citizen. We have 3 children who are also US citizens but in 2000 he claimed false citizenship at the border. Under Obama's new immigration reform will my husband qualify?

I doubt it. More details would be nice, like his original status when he came here.

NOBODY gets citizenship that easily. Unles they were born here to US citzen parents.

He's got a lot of hurdles to jump IF he is even qualified for those to begin with.

First this is not reform, it is merely a Presidential order, that is easily changed by another president or by Congress. There has been no official laws and policy changes, only orders on how to enforce current laws (or not enforce current laws)

But if he has already had a record, it is doubtful he will be accepted. Citizenship and legal status to stay in the country are two different things. He can and should hire an immigration attorney and attempt it. Since that is his only choice of being here correctly

NOBODY gets citizenship that easily. Unles (sic) they were born here to US citzen (sic) parents.

The way I read the 14th Amendment, the parental citizenship of people born in the US is immaterial. If they were born here, "... and subject to the jurisdiction [of the United States]", they are citizens.

Its not just that simple... or automatic or assumed in those cases. Particularly if they can't produce required documentation to prove it for whatever reason which does happen. Because in their case...they would HAVE to prove the claim.

A "false claim to citizenship" is one of the worst offenses in U.S. immigration law, and severely punished. It is punishable by a permanent bar. There are a few very minor, very specific exceptions. the executive orders will not fix this long term.

Please confirm this with an experienced immigration attorney. You can check with your State Bar or AILA for a reference. Good luck.
