If you are a foreigner marrying a US citizen, then no you are not a US citizen.

Marriage to a citizen does normally give you "permanent resident" status for the duration of the union, and qualifies you for certain paths to citizenship, but it's not automatically granted.

What if a German Nazi marries not to become an American just because he hates the US prints Social Security documents is he still a German citizen legally you can not turn in your illegal criminals?

Your incoherent question has two discernible parts. First, can a former Nazi become a citizen of the United States: the answer is, generally, no. Particularly if the Nazi was guilty of war crimes during the war, he or she cannot become an American citizen or even travel here because laws prohibit this. Second, how does marriage affect or change citizenship: It depends. Marriage alone does not confer citizenship. By marrying an American it can become easier in most cases to become an American citizen, but it is by no means automatic. I suspect you have one more question in mind, but your question isn't coherent enough to decipher what you mean to ask.


If a Mexican man came to the US illegaly as a child with his parents and later married an American citizen will it be easier for him to become a citizen since he was brought here as a minor?

I have more of a comment: I noticed in my research that it seems harder for a person who was brought here as a child when they had no say than for and adult who is here illegally. Why are there more ways for a CAnadian to be here legally than a Mexican national. Especially, ones brought here as children.


If a US citizen is married to a Canadian citizen and they are separated and living in their respective countries which one should file for divorce and where should they file?

It would probably be easiest in the country where you were married. Also, if everybody is in agreement, get an "uncontested" divorce. They are much easier and cheaper.

What kind of citizen is in Israel?

Anyone can become an Israeli citizen except for an ethnic Palestinian who did not live within the Israeli borders in 1949 or is not in the annexed territories (like the Golan or East Jerusalem). This caveat is due to the sensitive political nature of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict. In fact, Palestinians are the single largest Israeli citizen group after Jews. It is far easier for a Jew to become an Israeli citizen, than a non-Jew, but this is typical of countries in the region which give individuals of the dominant ethnicity from abroad to become citizens. (Armenia, Lithuania, Poland, etc. have this rule as well.) There is criticism that the inequality of citizenship process times is problematic, but it is much easier for a Muslim or Christian from abroad to become an Israeli citizen than it is for a Jew or Christian from abroad to become a Moroccan or Tunisian citizen and a non-Muslim can never become a Saudi citizen.


Does the parent become a US citizen if the child is a US citizen?

No, to be born an American citizen you have to be born on American soil. Such as America or an American embassy. I believe that you only have to have one parent from the country in order to access some kind of resident visa and or long term citizenship.
