How can you find out someones immigration status?

Answer 1

Answer

Ask them. Either a US birth certificate or a US passport will prove their citizenship status.

Answer

There is no way of finding out who is a citizen and who is not through some database. Documaents such as a US passport or birth certificate can be forged. If the person was born in the United States, then county records will verify whether or not a person was born in that county. Some counties can have this information viewed publilcly, some will not. If the US Citizen was naturalized, the only way of finding out is with USCIS records. These records are supposed to be obtained only by the person naturalized or by the original petitioner if there was an immigrant visa given back in the days as a non-citizen; a FOIA request can be made to get that info. Of course there's always means to obtain information if you know the right people, but I'm sticking with the most ethical means.

Answer

If you know the person:
Just ask them to show you their green card for fun and then you'll know.

Answer 4

The average citizen cannot find out if someone is in the United States legally or not, unless, of course, they ask that person, directly (granted, someone simply saying that they are in the country legally may not be sufficient, but the average citizen does not have the authority to request proof). Even if the police were called about a "suspicious" individual, it may be a long time before any apparent action is taken, if any, because most such reports are without merit, and, generally speaking, the authorities would not report the results to you (of course, if the individual in question is taken away in handcuffs while you happen to be watching, then that's a different story, though that person might have been arrested for a different reason; likewise, being taken away by the authorities - - handcuffed or not - - may not indicate any wrongdoing: they might simply want more information from that person, though they would rarely do so using handcuffs). Note that the police and other authorities take a dim view of people who contact them without due cause, and any false or spurious reports could result in the complaintant being charged with making a false report.
