It really doesn't matter how long the alien has been here. It follows the same process. You get married and then apply to adjust the status. the fee would depend on how this person entered the country, legally or illegally. As far as I know it would take about six months for a temporary residency and then after two years you would have the final interview in which you would be given the permanent residency. good luck!
you can marry but it is no guarantee if they will become legal. You need to understand even if children are involved you are looking at time and money. if your spouse entered the country illegally they will have to return to their homeland at some point of the process (unless the laws change) and then depending on how long they have been in the u.s illegally, they have the option of denying them re-entry for up to 10 years. You need to know this.
you must be 18 years of older
No. It will take many years. Spouses of greencard-holders do not automatically have a visa number available. They have to be put on a waiting list.
not really because the illegal alien must have to go through "naturalization" and must wait a few years while living in the united states like 7 years.
Yes why not! Once they are married and prove that it was in good faith, the alien could adjust status to get green card after being petitioned by the American citizen spouse. And once they are into 3 years of successful marriage the alien could apply for US citizenship.
haha lol why not?
if the illegal alien has not been in trouble or been in detention, it is in there best interest to go home and apply for legal residency, it could take a couple years, but if you are caught here being illegal, you can be banned for re-addmision, deported , and cannot apply to come back for ten years
an alein cant get a green card they are already green silly!!!
You can, but it wouldn't be advisable. The illegal alien can be deported at any time. It may even be impossible for them to get back to the US.
Why they call it a Green Card.The first Resident Alien Card (Green Card) had green-stripes on one side and was issued many years ago (1950s). There have been several revisions to the Resident Alien Card with the newest being mostly white in color. The Resident Alien Card version that is carried by most Lawful Permenant Residents is the pink/salmon colored card (second newest card). T
5 years 3 years if you are married to a US Citizen
