A permanent alien can stay in a country, but not have resident status and certain privleges.
citizen
A citizen is either born to the country or immigrated and became a naturalized citizen, an alien is someone who is either an illegal immigrant or a visitor whose visa or pssport expired ,then never went back to their own country.
After 12 months as temporary residence you do have to apply for a permanent residence to be legal. This is to apply to be legal in the US.
As a US citizen or a US resident, you are subject to US taxes, both federal and state income taxes on your world wide income and US source income. Since you are a resident alien, you must follow the same tax laws as U.S. citizens. You are taxed on income from all sources, both within and outside the United States.You will have to file Form 1040 or 1040A/1040EZ (if you do not itemize deductions on Sch A of 1040).
My friend is a resident here in America, but her papers are still getting processed, so she is given a TIN for the meanwhile and not a SSN. The FAFSA only takes applicants with a valid Social Security number and nothing else.
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.
There is not much difference and there is a LOT of difference! A visa number is assigned to a person entering the USA. It later can become his/her Resident Alien number if alien status is granted. An alien number (usually from your visa number) is assigned to you when you have been granted legal Resident Alien status.
The difference between a citizen and permanent residence Citizen are the people that hold the NewZealand passports and they do not have to apply for a visa to Australia but for permanent residence they still have to apply for a visa to be able to travel to Australia
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.
