No. Assuming that there are no other legal impediments to your entering Canada, you could get into Canada. You could apply for permanent resident status - something you should do BEFORE you arrive in Canada. Being married to a Canadian citizen would probably be a big advantage. Getting Canadian citizenship is a whole other process. Before you can apply, you have to have lived in Canada for three years without interruption or, in some cases, for three of the last four years. If you meet all of the requirements, THEN you can become a Canadian citizen. Being married to a Canadian will help with that. But marrying a Canadian will NOT automatically make you a Canadian citizen.
A green card holder IS a legal resident. "Green card" is the common name given to permanent resident ID issued to immigrants granted that status (even though the card is no longer green in color).
FYI, effective June 26, 2013, the US federal government recognizes same-sex marriages, including for Immigration purposes. Beginning on that date, an American citizen may sponsor a foreign same-sex spouse for permanent residency ("green card"). Once a foreigner has a green card, he or she may eventually apply for citizenship when the applicable requirements are met.
Currently, no. No foreigner has yet been able to obtain legal immigration status in the United States by virtue of same-sex marriage to an American citizen. Some binational same-sex couples have had their deportation proceedings dismissed, however, since the federal government states that deporting law-abiding aliens with family ties is not a priority.
the green card has nothing to do with the Canadian/French visit. What matters is where is your citizenship based from? as a French citizen or Canadian citizen then you'll have no issues traveling back and forth from Canada to France. The green card is used for American relations only.
If you are a Canadian citizen, then a Canadian Passport would be fine for travelling to these places via cruise ship.
If you mean can you adjust his status to become legal- NO. This is only if you are a U.S. citizen.
no
Citizenship cannot be got directly without becoming a green card holder first.By maintaining legal status, the Canadian should first get the green card after being petitioned by US citizen spouse by filing Form I-130 and after 5 years as green card holder he/she can apply for US citizenship by filing Form N-400.
If you are also a US citizen, you need to carry both passports and they should be valid.If you are a Canadian citizen and have green card, you need a valid Canadian passport with your green card.
You can either be born by American Citizens, granted a citizenship trhough Naturalization, Have A green card and is married to a US citizen, or a green card holder under the military or a family of one. Usually the most common aside from being a citizen by birth is through naturalization process.
I live in the USA with a Green Card but am a citizen of the UK and a UK Passport holder. I am thus to the USA/US Immigration a foreign passport holder.
No they cannot. You must be a US citizen to enter.
A Canadian citizen with a green card can use their Canadian passport to exit the US and use their US green card to re-enter the US under the same status. Hope this helps.
Depends on where she was born. If she was born in the United States she is all ready a citizen. If she was born outside the country she would have to apply for citizenship. Since your are not a citizen and your husband is illegal she is not a citizen unless born here.
No. You do not become a US citizen by marrying one. That is for you to earn by your own abilities!
