Want this question answered?
A permanent resident is an individual who has been granted the right to live and work in a country indefinitely. A permanent alien refers to a non-citizen who has been granted permanent residence in a country, but may not necessarily have all the rights and privileges of a citizen, such as the right to vote.
A non-permanent resident alien is an individual that holds employment in the United States. They are not a citizen and they do not have a green card.
An alien is not illegal as long as she/he has documentation of status. An alien who is documented to be a permanent resident is not illegal. If the alien does not have and never has had documentation of an immigration status, then that person is an illegal alien.
I believe you are not a resident alien at all, you are a alien, legally allowed to live and work in the USA for the duration of the L1 (up to 7 years) but you are not a "resident" There are many law firms who could answer precisely this question.
If sponsored by a spouse, who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, an alien may obtain permanent resident status through the use of a petition naming the alien as a direct beneficiary. Marriage is the tool by which this is done. However, if the marriage is terminated through divorce or annulment before permanent residence is granted, then the alien will not be eligible for permanent resident status by this affiliation. So the answer to your question depends on whether or not you completed your immigration status, if so then you will be seen as a legal resident.
Yup i guess, try ask your mom
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.
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.
The resident would need to wait until becoming a US citizen until filing for residency for the illegal alien spouse.
Yes. You are knowingly harboring a criminal.
No! The original Permanent Resident Alien Cards were green, and conversationally, the term "Green Card" still means Permanent Resident Status. Now they do have small green stripes on them. See related link.
Yes, however you would have to wait until your spouse becomes a citizen in order to file for alien resident status.
