= Can a legal resident apply for citizenship with duii on his record? =
You apply for a tourist visa. Or wait for your husband to apply for his citizenship and apply for your daughters citizenship. The best way is to go to the U.S. Enbassy and apply for a tourist visa.
no they have 2 take the test im from there you would have to take a citizenship test. ----------- Much like in the U.S., a foreigner first needs to apply to become a legal resident. Then after 2 years of uninterrupted residency, the person is allowed to apply for citizenship.
your existing legal resident status would not be affected by anybody , you can claim citizenship when you have the right to do so.
No. He or she must still apply for permanent resident status and then citizenship as required by US immigration laws.
Dual Citizenship means you are a citizen of two countries at the same time. Not all countries allow this. If you acquire a new citizenship then you often have to give up the old one. The rules for acquiring citizenship vary greatly and are often complicated. They usually require you to be a legal resident of that country for a number of years, to speak the language, not to have a criminal record, and other restrictions. If you want to acquire a second citizenship, you will have to research how to become a citizen of that specific country.
5 Yrs as a legal resident.
yes. it can, but not always is.
The person needs to have permanent resident status. Marrying a US citizen does not automatically give you citizenship or different visa status. The requirements are having been a legal permanent resident for five years. Or being a legal permanent resident and married to a US citizen for three years. The person can then apply for US citizenship.
No, you do not.Marrying a US citizen never automatically makes you a citizen- however, it does speed up the process if you are trying to naturalize. Normally, a legal resident has to wait 5 years before they can apply for US citizenship; if a legal resident marries a US citizen, this is shortened to 3 years.
If the immigrant is a true illegal (i.e. entered the country illegally/without inspection) even a marriage to a US citizen wont prevent him from facing possible deportation. Moreover, an immigrant CANNOT apply for citizenship, they must first apply for legal residency
If you are not a resident, you are probably not a legal resident, however, you might be a legal resident of the last state where you lived. It depends on circumstances. The question of citizenship is a different question. If you moved the Greece as a child, you may need to choose between one or the other.
Be a resident of Puerto Rico. Have an American citizenship or be a legal resident of United States and territories.
