I have friends who are from the U.K. and they tell me that you are automatically a citizen of the U.K. after marrying a british subject.
No you do NOT become a citizen automatically upon marrying a British citizen. You can only come to England to marry if you have a fiancee/fiance visa. This will give you six months to marry. Once you are married, you can apply for residency status - if granted, you will receive it for a one year period, during which time you can work but you will not have any recourse to public funds (i.e. jobseeker's allowance, disability etc) but you will be covered under the National Health scheme. After the year is up, you can apply for a permanent residency status. If you are accepted, this will give you ability to live and work in the UK for as long as you like. If you wish to become a citizen after that, you can apply for citizenship after being married for 3 years total.
There is plenty of information on this at the Immigration and Nationality Directorate website at www.ind.homeoffice.gov.uk
Answer: If you have been married for 3 yrs or more than you can choose to renew your permanent resident card or file for citizenship. If you choose to renew your card, its the same process as any other permanent resident would have to go through.
If you are married than he is now legal.
You can go to the USCIS website and find the form for renewal of alien resident card (permanent resident card or "green card"), fill out the application, print it and send it with other required documents along with the payment. Your other choice is going to the INS and get the forms.
Once a person from another nation marries a Canadian citizen, he or she becomes a permanent resident. The process takes approximately 50 days for the paperwork.
Lawful Permanent Residents who got married before obtaining a Green Card are not required to file an Immigrant Petition on behalf of their spouse (or any children born before becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident). A spouse and eligible children of a Lawful Permanent Resident in this category may apply for a Green Card without having an approved Immigrant Petition. This process is known as "accompanying" or "follow to join." Lawful Permanent Residents who have "adjusted" to Lawful Permanent Resident status in the U.S. must file Form I-824, Application for Action on an Approved Application or Petition in order to notify the appropriate consulate that their spouse will "accompany" or "follow to join." Lawful Permanent Residents who got married after obtaining a Green Card must file a Form I-130 Immigrant Petition on behalf of their spouse in order to sponsor them for Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card) status.
If the marriage is found to be valid it takes a minimum of 6-18 months to obtain permanent residence status (green card). The parties must remain legally married and residing together for three years before the immigrant can apply for US citizenship. Persons who are in the US illegally are not eligible for permanent resident status and citizenship even if they marry a US citizen.

A "naturalized" citizen is someone who was not born on U.S. soil- they were not a citizen of the country when they were born, yet they have gone through the process of becoming and citizen and are now one.
If you mean what is the process of immigrating to the US then there are various ways one can obtain a visa. To obtain a visa you can be a student, married to a US Citizen or permanent resident, have family members in the US, obtain a talent visa, or obtain a conditional working visa proving employment will be available when entering the US. From experience if you are a relative of a US citizen or permanent resident you first have to file the form I-130 located on the USCIS website. For more information about immigrating or getting through to the immigration process go to these websites: www.uscis.gov www.immigrate2us.net
In depends on what country you are talking about. In the US, they won't get one just because they are married. They will have to go through the same process as if they were not married. It doesn't bode well for a happy marriage.
It all depends on the process you choose to hold a Permanent Residency card. A good recommendation would be to have an Immigration Lawyer assist you with the application process. Although expensive, the legal assistance is well worth the time and money you will be spending. And depending on the US Citizenship and Immigration Services' workload, a minimum of 8-10 months would be required for the entire process to be completed and for you to hold your Permanent Residency card. If you choose to go about it on your own, the process might become lengthy, overwhelming and frustrating.
