How can an American get a divorce from an English citizen if she has moved to the US and he doesn't want a divorce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In order to initiate a divorce in the U. S., the American spouse can file for divorce in the state where they currently reside. It's important to note that each state has its own residency requirements. If the English citizen spouse refuses to cooperate, the American spouse may choose to pursue a contested divorce, and the final outcome will be determined through legal proceedings. It is highly recommended to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to receive guidance on the specific steps and requirements for the jurisdiction in question.

As a green card holder do you need a passport to travel Mexico and back to the USA?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Follow the link below to the Canadian government site concerning this question and scroll to the bottom where there are three buttons that address crossings by air (plane), land (car) or water (boat). Suffice to say, having a passport is a great convenience and satisfies the requirements of all three.

Concerning air: as of January 2007, a passport has become required for entry Concerning land: Photo ID plus a birth certificate (under 18 need only present a birth certificate) is currently still an option, but a passport will become required as of June 1, 2009. Concerning water: same requirements and future as land travel. Please follow the link for a more thorough treatment on rules, regulations and exceptions.

Hello there,

my husband and I planning to go to Italy in couple of months from now ,there for i had to ask the same question via email to the Itlay consulate and i got this answer today the 15July.2009 ,there answer is :

Here are the instructions for the visa:

CAREFULLY COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PRINT CLEARLY AND FILL EVERY LINE, INDICATING EXACTLY THE LENGTH OF YOUR STAY AS WELL AS THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT BORDER POINTS.

If you have an US green card do you need a visa to visit Canada?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A green card allows you to enter the United States. It doesn't mean it will allow you to enter other countries, though. In the case of Mexico, you need to present your international passport; if you have an American passport you may enter Mexico without needing a visa. Otherwise, some restrictions apply but in general terms, people from developed countries don't require a visa to enter Mexico.
