Is it possible for a Canadian woman to marry a U.S. citizen without 2 years of being separated by immigration laws?
From what I have read in a helpful book about obtaining fiance and marriage visas (Fiance and Marriage Visas...by Nolo), you don't have to be apart. You can obtain a fiance visa which allows you to marry in the US within 90 days of entry. After your marriage, you can apply for a greencard and/or citizenship. As I understand it, you can apply in the coutry in which you are married or abroad in your home country, you just can't leave either place during the application process(if already married and wish to apply for a greencard).
What happens if a person with a green card marries someone with a student visa?
As a US resident(a.k.a. LPR -Legal Permanent Resident), you can sponsor him as your spouse. But for the student to get greencard as a spouse of LPR, it will take 4 to 5 years. Contact an immigration attorney, and have him or her file a petition. And then wait. While waiting, the student MUST stay as a student, or change visa and stay valid. The student must keep a valid visa status while waiting. If the student wants to stay as a student, he or she must keep on studying. If graduation nears, he or she needs to change visa. No matter what happens, keep the valid status. Once the student becomes illegal, by not going to school, or not having changed visa before graduation, he or she cannot get greencard, even if the time comes. That is, unless the greencard holder(LPR), becomes a citizen. If LPR becomes the citizen, then everything changes. A US citizen's spouse doesn't have a waiting period. Also even if citizen's spouse over-stayed his or her visa, that's no problem, if LPR spouse becomes citizen. As soon as LPR spouse becomes the citizen, the student can get greencard, even if he or she over-stayed. If the student leaves US and comes back illegally by crossing border without inspection, all is lost. Even if married to US citizen, illegall entry will get you deported. So, you can get married now, and file a petition for the student as a spouse of LPR. If the LPR spouse doesn't get citizenship, you have to wait 4-5 years and during that time, the student must keep a valid visa, student or otherwise. For the LPR to get a citizenship, he or she must have stayed in US for the past 5 years, and no crimes. If the LPR has a foreign trip longer than 6 months, 5 year counts from the end of the trip. It does not matter whether the LPR(greencard holder) had greencard for 20 years or 20 days, if she or he goes to Greece from September 2005 to April 2006, 5 year counts from April 2006 when he or she comes back to US. If the greencard holder stays in US without long foreign trip, only in 2011, the greencard holder can apply for a citizenship. As soon as getting a citizenship, file a new petition and get greencard for the student. Or get married, file a case and student can quit school. Mostly people quit school for financial reasons. But this is very risky. A lot of people quit school, thinking that when the greencard holder gets citizenship, everything will be okay. But it's not a good idea. First, it takes time for greencard holder to get a citizenship (depends on individuals, 1-6 years). Second, the greencard holder may not pass the citizenship test or have reasons for not getting citizenship, sush as crime he or she didn't think much about. Third, you can break up, leaving the ex-student illegal. For all these reasons, it's good idea to get married, file a petition, keep a valid visa status. In the mean time, if the greencard holder gets a citizenship, good. Refile the case, and get greencard sooner for the student. If the greencard holder has not left US for the past 5 years, and have no criminal record, file a petition for citizenship now. It will only take about 9 to 18 months to get it depends on where you live. If that's the case, get married now, file for citizenship ASAP, keep the student status, and file for greencard for the student when the greencard holder becomes a citizen. If you are sure that greencard holder can pass the citizenship test without problems, then you don't have to file for the student twice, just file for the student when the greencard holder becomes a citizen. Of course if he or she doesn't get citizenship, you would have wasted one year for nothing and file it as greencard holder's spouse and awit for 4-5 years. One thing you should remember. Having filed a petition as a spouse of a greencard holder does not mean that you don't need a visa. You must keep the student status, or other long term visa status, until you get the greencard. That's 5 years. Keep valid visa status at least until you get Employment Authorization Document. You can get it after your number is up in about 5 years. At any rate, you will need an immigration attorney. So seek an advise from an immigration attorney. Many offer 15-30 minute free consultation. I would personally seek an immigration attorney who is a member of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). Do a few free consultations and shop around. Then you will get an idea who's good.
Can citizenship be revoked if the person was having an affair during the process?
Possibly. But you must prove beyond a doubt that the cheater married for the sole purpose of gaining citizenship. Call INS for advice on how to proceed.
How did a person claim roman citizenship?
You did not claim Roman citizenship. if you were born in Rome and a freeman, you were automatically a Roman citizen. There were non-Romans who obtained Roman citizenship. However, they did not claim it. During the Roman Republic the senate granted citizenship. During the period of rule by emperors it was the emperor who granted it. It was the Romans who chose who they wanted to grant citizenship to. Therefore, non-Romans did not claim it.
I was born in Botswana in 1959 a british colony at that time I am currently living in South Africa can I apply for duel citizinship andor a british passport now?
No, i don't think Botswana has provisions for Dual Citizenship status, it is not recognised and unless you denounce you other citizenship and start the process of naturalisation again then you will get citizenship. Talk to a lawyer who is aware of citizenship during colonial times to see if your birth details can help you in naturalising as a motswana. Good Luck!
