Best Answer

yes, with time and meeting some requirements.

- It's not automatic. You have to wait three years, and then apply for naturalization through USCIS (the same agency that gave you your green card). It involves paying some fairly expensive fees, passing an exam and having a background check.

Once you become a citizen, you can file for divorce at any time. But in order to even apply for citizenship if you are on a marriage green card, you have to have been married for 3 years and you and your spouse would have to have petitioned to remove your conditional resident status within 90 days of your second wedding anniversary. This is to prove that you didn't get married to evade immigrations laws.

Can a company sponsor you and provide your green card if you have been out of status in the US would they forgive you as they do when you marry a citizen?

im sorry, but that question does not make sense, they do not "forgive" anything if you marry a citizen, no matter how the citizen abtained citizenship. I am a American citizen, and I am white, I was born in Washington state. I married a Mexican immigrant, we have been together for 7 years, and we have a child that was also born in Washington state, However, they will not let my husband live in the U.S. even though he is not a criminal, and our child and myself are totaly dependant on his income, and I am disabled and cannot care for my son and myself without him. This is a common misconception among Americans-that if an illegal immigrant gets married to a citizen, they have a right to become a citizen- However, it is just not true.


Your blond wife discovered you are black after long term marriage now She asked for divorce what can you do?

Blond or blind? I don't know the legal elements of wherever you live, but would you want to stay married to someone who doesn't want you? I married for life, but were my wife to wish for a divorce, I'd refuse (she married for life, also!) but I would most likely walk away. I wouldn't wish to impose myself on someone who didn't want me.

Can you become a citizen in Japan if you were not born there?

I'm not sure if this is true, but you have to live there for a number of years and you also have to be Japanese. I, myself, am not Japanese, but my friend is. And she says you have to be Japanese or at least half to be considered a citizen of Japan, but there may be other ways to be a citizen.

My husband and I live separately. Can I file a petition for divorce by myself?

United StatesYou can petition for divorce but you cannot do it in secret. The court will order that your husband be served with the notice of your filing. If he cannot be found the notice will need to be published in a local newspaper. If he doesn't respond the divorce can proceed. A person who refuses to respond to or sign divorce papers cannot prevent the other party from obtaining the divorce.
