Status on sister's aplication for permanent resident
yes
your existing legal resident status would not be affected by anybody , you can claim citizenship when you have the right to do so.
I am currently a legal resident in my country.
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.
The key differences between a non-resident alien and a resident alien are their tax implications and legal status. Non-resident aliens are taxed only on income from U.S. sources and have limited rights in the U.S., while resident aliens are taxed on worldwide income and have more legal rights and privileges in the U.S.
In Canada a landed immigrant has permanent resident status. Until they achieve that status they are not landed.
You must immediately apply for a permanent resident status.
Resident aliens are taxed on their worldwide income and have more rights and benefits in the U.S., while non-resident aliens are only taxed on income from U.S. sources and have limited rights and benefits. In terms of immigration status, resident aliens have permission to live in the U.S. indefinitely, while non-resident aliens have temporary permission for specific purposes.
Those with Permanent Resident status in Canada are still ineligible to hold public office or vote in federal elections.
No, a J-1 visa is a non immigrant visa and therefore not eligible for transition into resident status.
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.
