I-129/K3 Form Question

[illegal&inlove]

My husband is currently in US illegally (entered without inspection) and we are planning on going the K3 route. What dates do you put on the I-130 and I-129 when they ask for dates that they were in the US? Can we just say November 1998 to PRESENT for example and plan to stay in the US until the time of the first consulate interview - or is it expected that my spouse leave the country before I submit the I-129?

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that your spouse has to be outside of the country before you file the I-129.
