Can you file for citizenship if you owe child support in the US?
The answer is probably YES, if it has not been reported to the Federal government or the state has not taken action against you. In most cases states do a lousy job at collecting child support.
In my case, I sponsored my foreign based spouse for a K-1 visa and then a perament residence card. I was never questioned about past owed support, I was asked to supply the shame of judgment (93 pages) and because it was so lengthy the USCIS only wanted to confirm that I was in fact divorced. Even while the state was moving forward to have my driver's license suspended fro non-payment for three years, I applied and received a new passport. At the time I owed over $200,000 in support mostly alimony and attorney's fees. Since that time I was appealing the judgment and it has correctly been reversed because of the unreasonableness of such orders.
So all said and done, the answer is probably YES, unless it has been reported to the Federal government.
AnswerI'm not sure, but I think you will have a problem, especially if the custodial parent has filed for any type of social/public services on behalf of the child that you were supposed to have been helping to support all of this time.
Answeryou need to find out how much you owe, who you owe it to, and pay it off before you file. if you owe it to the custodial parent it is possible for them to waive back child support, but that is up to them. if you owe it to the state, you will need to contact them and set up a payment plan.
AnswerActually, you can't even go into most countries if you owe, or are currently paying child support. My ex-husband is a truck driver, and Canada won't even let him in after they run his drivers license.
AnswerVisa laws for applying do not let you Obtain a Visa to leave the U.S. if you owe more than $10,000 us dollars in back child support. If you Marry a citizen of another country and apply for citizenship while in that country they will not deny you as long as you have set up payment arrangements with the Federal Government, in many cases they do not check. If the Federal Government has been involved I.E.. If your case has been through court and you have been ordered to make payments, or if Back support comes out of your taxes, you are responsible to the Federal Government.
check the immigration laws: NO. but, if you pay or have a payment plan with the court and you show and prove that you paid in full or you are making your payments on time at least for one year. Remember it is a crime. and INS can see this like a moral turpide crime. The no payment of child support affect your credit, your driver license... etc...

What is the process for a Canadian marrying US citizen?
== == == == In order for the Canadian to marry the American in the US, the Canadian must be legally present in the United States. Not just visiting. If this is not the case, the American can file a Fiancee visa which lasts for 9 months at which time the wedding must have taken place.
From there the American will have to file a I-130 plus supporting documentation which is available on the USCIS website. There are many different situations and many different forms that can be filed so I would recommend checking out USCIC.gov.
Once all documentation is sent it, it takes approx 3 months for the paperwork to be processed and at that time you and your spouse will have to go to an interview. At the time of the interview they should stamp your passport and then you will just wait patiently for your card to come in the mail.

After marrying a us citizen can an illegal immigrant obtain a green card while still in the states?
Answer
If you were or are in the States illegally then I seriously doubt that even though you married an American citizen you would get a Green Card so that you could work legally. I believe that the American Immigration policy would be to ask you to go back to the country you came from, and apply for a landed status. From there, and after many documents have been filled out and filed with the proper people in Immigration, if you have no criminal record, you might be accepted. I can also tell you that it takes about two years to do this unless you get an Immigration Lawyer. This will cost a few dollars, but the money would be well spent.
If INS/ICE bothers to check on you to determine marital status they may determine that since you are not living together it is not a real marriage. If that's the case, the paperwork will be determined to be fraudulent and invalidated.

What steps to you need in order to immigrate to us or Canada?
The primary step is to decide the purpose of immigrating to the US or Canada. As the visas are different for each category, it is a must to have a clear idea about the intention of the immigration. Next is selecting the Visa category. If a person is going to the US for employment, then there are instances where the employer will sponsor the person into the US. Similarly, when a person has close relatives in the US ( either PR or USC) who are willing to sponsor that person, then this is also another means of immigrating to the US
Persons wanting to immigrate should decide whether they are moving in on a temporary basis or for a permanent living. Next step is the filing of the Visa application.
After staying for 6 months in the US how long before you can go back to US with your tourist visa?
There is no certain rules on this issue but immigration officers at every port have full authorization to allow you to enter US or cancel your visa and put you on the plane back to your home country immediately.
If you do not have strong evidence of ties to your job, your family, your home country and you are unable to satisfy the immigration officer at the interview about your situation and reason of long stay on previous visit, etc., you may or may not be allowed to enter US.
My suggestion is if you have a full time job in your country, bring proof of your annual leave issued and approved by your employer. It's the best bet.
