What country does not allow Muslim immigrants?

Most countries will welcome immigrants who bring skills that are in demand and in short supply in those countries and who are well-educated and can fend for themselves financially.

Most anti-immigration laws in practically every Western country concern illegal immigrants and political (but in reality more often economic) refugees from Third World-countries, people with often little or no skills that are of any use in the country of arrival and who in consequence will be mostly a drain on its social security systems.

What makes an alien an illegal alien?

Immigration laws vary by country, but in general an illegal alien is one who is not in a recognized immigration status in their host country. This can happen when the alien enters the country without permission, or enters with permission but does not leave when the time for their legal stay expires.

There are many types of legal status short of citizenship. Examples in the U.S.A. would include aliens visiting on tourist visas, aliens present on business or employment visas, and students and researchers visiting on education-based visas. These are all "legal" aliens.

It should also be noted that "illegal" and "criminal" are not strictly synonymous. Crossing the U.S. border illegally is a crime, while overstaying a visa is a civil rather than a criminal offense. A more commonplace example of this legal distinction would be the difference between say double parking and driving under the influence of alcohol. Both are illegal, but only the latter is criminal (laws in your jurisdiction may vary).

How does an illegal immigrant become legal after getting married in USA?

It depends on what type of illegal you are. There are 2 types: 1) entry without inspection (a person sneeking across the border) and 2) overstay (entry into the U.S, was legal but the stay became illegal (i.e. staying in the U.S. after tourist visa expires)

Only the 2nd type of illegal can become legal, and then ONLY IF the spouse is a citizen. The citizen spouse would need to file a I-130 and I-485 petition for you.

Actually, there is a way for the first type of illegal to ATTEMPT legal status (unlike the second type where a green card is a sure thing (baring anything negative in the immigrant's background). The illegal would need to return to his country of origin and try to get a I-601 waiver by showing extreme hardship to his citizen spouse. The drawback is that if it is denied, the illegal must stay in that country and can be prevented from entry for either 3 or 10 years. The other way is for the illegal to surrender to ICE and attempt a cancellation of removal (deportation). The drawback to this is if the waiver is denied, the illegal will be deported, and the deportation itself might bar him from any future entry into the U.S.

Can a deportee from US get a visa to UK?

They can certainly APPLY for one, but whether they'd get it depends upon what they'd been deported from the US for. If it was for suspected involvement in terrorism, involvement in organised crime or the drugs trade, or anything that could pose a danger to the public, then they probably would have their application refused.

If, however, it was for being an illegal immigrant to the US an asylum seeker, or for something like financial fraud or buisness crime which they had already been penalised for, then they'd have a better chance of their application being considered.

Assuming you want to be in Australia with your spouse - you will need to apply for this visa.

And this is how you know if you are eligible.

This means your spouse MUST have a job or income of some sort as he will be supporting you. You cannot work and you will NOT be a permanent resident. You will only be a visitor and you will STAY a visitor for 2 years and you CANNOT WORK OR STUDY during this time. Your life will be on hold until you are granted or refused permanent residency.

Your marriage has to be at least 2 years old before you can be granted permanent residency. So you will be visiting Australia temporarily for those 2 years while you get to know your spouse and your marriage either works or falls apart.

Being a visitor means no working, no studying, maybe medicare or not (I dont know for sure). Make sure you have a HOBBY you can do to fill in the time when you are not cleaning the apartment or doing his laundry or cooking his dinner. He must be working or have an income because HIS money will be paying for the both of you for two years.

USA has the same rule. Marriages less than 2 years old only get a temporary green card and they dont become eligible for a permanent green card until after their 2 year anniversary.

______
(this is in the discussion as well)

I am a US citizen who has married an Australian citizen. I do not think that the first answer was accurate. Once you marry your partner, you can apply for permanent residency right away (this cost use about $2000) - subclass 801, spouse visa. You will then go onto a Temporary Residency Visa, which entitles you to medicare and to be able to work in Australia. You will NOT have to put your life on hold, you CAN work and be entitled to medicare. You can also study if you want (international rates).


During this time you must have "Assurance of Support" from Australian citizens. In my case, my husband and I were studying and didn't have jobs, so my mother in law co-signed with my husband to support me during the two years that I won't have access to benefits (pensions, dole). Your husband does NOT have to have a job or income for you to pass this requirement.


After two years on a temporary residency visa, given that your permanent residency application was approved, you will be a permanent resident! Then you can apply for cheaper study and centrelink benefits.


Once you have been a resident in Australia for at least 4 years (1 year must have been as a permanent resident), you can apply for citizenship.


This is how I have experienced the process. I think there is a lot of inaccurate information in the first answer. You certainly do not have to put your life on hold waiting for a permanent residency visa, you definitely can work and study. Your husband also does not have to have a job or income, you just need family members or someone who is Australian to promise to pay the government for any financial support you may need while on a temporary visa.

How long would it take for an illegal alien to get a work permit after getting married to a greencard holder?

If the alien entered US with inspection and became illegal later, then 3 months. If you don't get it in 3 months, set up an appointment to go to the local CIS office and show them the receipt, they will give it to you that day.

If the alien entered illegally whtouth inspection, no right to get a work authorization, and will not get a green card even if married to a US citizen.

If the alien entered illegally, the alien must wait until 245(i) provision gets revived. Current political climate is very conservative. And so, 245(i) is unpopular now. President Bush said "Those who broke our law should not be awarded with green card." He said that even if that law is revived by Congress, he will veto it. So no 245(i) for now. Wait until the President leaves office, and wait more until Congress passes the 245(i) and hope that the next president does not veto 245(i).

How long can a Canadian citizen married to a US Citizen stay in the US?

I married a Mexican citizen in Mexico and I am a US citizen, and we currently live in Mexico. You can only live in Mexico for the time they alloted on your white paper when you entered the country, usually it is 90-180 days. During that time you should apply for a FM2 at the immigration office. An FM2 is a visa that allows you to live in Mexico. You would qualify for it because you are married to a Mexican citizen. An FM2 is good for as long as you want provided you renew it every year and you can become a citizen after having it for 2 years. FM2 allows you do live and participate as a Mexican citizen would. I currenlty have an FM3, which is a working visa. I got it through my employer. If you want to work in Mexico you could get an FM3 and that would also allow you to stay in Mexico, but it needs to be renewed every year. Good luck and I hope that this helps a little.
