What else can I help you with?

No. In the US adults regardless of their citizen status cannot be adopted. A legal immigrant can be sponsored by a US citizen for permanent residency and citizenship.

No, marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically grant an immigrant permanent resident or citizenship status. http://www.uscis.gov

Can a citizen of Mexico obtain American citizenship by virtue of same-sex marriage to a citizen of the United States?
Yes, an American citizen may sponsor a same-sex Mexican spouse for a visa, permanent residency and, ultimately, citizenship.
If a United States Citizen marries in the United States in January 2009 to an immigrant from the Philippines is she now considered to be a United States Citizen?
No, she is not. She will be allowed to remain in the US with her spouse and children, but she will have to apply for citizenship separate from her marriage. The US citizen REMAINS a US citizen. The immigrant remains an immigrant and must follow the legal path to resident immigrant status, and from there to citizenship. Marriage is not a free pass to residency or citizenship.
Can an American citizen who was convicted of a felony and serve his time give an American citizenship to a immigrant?
Even American citizens who have never been convicted of anything cannot give citizenship to an immigrant. There are only four ways to become an American citizen: # Be born in the United States, # Be born anywhere but have parents who are citizens, # Complete the legal process for becoming a citizen, including meeting residency requirements, taking the test and reciting the oath, # Be made a citizen by special Act of Congress.
If you know someone is an illegal immigrant and became a citizen by marriage how can you sue them?
There are not grounds for filing a civil suit in such a situation. In addition, a foreign national whether illegal or not does become a citizen by marrying an American citizen, nor are they guaranteed permanent resident status.

Can an American citizen become a different citizen?
Yes, an American citizen doesnt lose that citizenship when another citizenship is gained.
Would it be easier to become an American citizen if you're an illegal immigrant who is married to a U.S. citizen AND your child is a U.S. citizen as well?
I believe that you're guaranteed a citizenship when you marry a citizen, but being an illegal complicates the matter.
Does the spouse of a permanent US citizen retain permanent citizenship after the spouse dies?
No, he is no longer married to a citizen so no longer has citizen status; unless he has applied for and completed the citizenship process to become a citizen in his own right.
If an American man has a baby with an illegal immigrant woman does the mother get residency or citizenship?
No,she would get neither one. The child would be the one to reap the benefits and be a American Citizen.
If you marry an illegal citizen and you are an American citizen do you have to live together if you have an alternative lifestyle?
First, there's no such thing as an illegal citizen. Second, there's no such thing as an alternative lifestyle. But if you are asking if a marriage between a gay person and an illegal immigrant of the opposite sex would be valid if it is not consummated, that depends upon the laws of the state where the marriage took place. If the marriage was made with the intent for the illegal alien to gain citizenship or permanent resident status, that won't happen. Marrying a U.S. citizen DOES NOT automatically confer citizenship or permanent resident status.
