In 2000 he was told he had 60 days to leave the state's. After that 60 days you get a deportation order, which he had issued shortly after.
Once you're given a deportation order you can't apply for citizenship for a mandatory 10 year penalty period.
He used a loophole to get a greencard, DL and legal SS# to stay in the states while checking in with ICE once a year.
In 2007 He applied for reconsideration because he's married to a U.S. citizen and that case is still pending.

So technically in 2007 he did apply and it's pending. Once you get a deportation order though you're fucked because America wants you the fuck out and you didn't leave so we're gonna have to force you!
