Can you have parental rights removed if the mother is an illegal immigrant?

No, custodial rights to minor children are a civil matter and under the jurisdiction of the state of residence. Regardless of the legal status of the mother, she still has legal rights to her biological child unless a court rules otherwise. Likewise, an unmarried female, regardless of her legal status, is presumed by law to retain sole custodial rights to the child until the father establishes parentage and is awarded joint or full custody by the court or refused custodial rights.

Can a legal resident man be deported for domestic violence?

That's something only the legal system can answer and depending on what State you live in. I sure wish it were true in British Columbia where I live. Many countries around the world have a strict policy that if you break their laws then you are either imprisoned or deported and well it should be for all countries. There are laws for a reason in each country (no matter whether we think them fair or not) and once in that country, we know the rules so if we break the law then you pay the price. To answer the question, yes. There is a special deportation charge for any legal alien that is convicted of a domestic assault violation of the criminal law. It would ultimately be the decision on the Immigration Judge if the alien is ordered deported.

If a US citzen is married to an illegal alien for over a year and they have a baby what should the illegal alien do to became a legal resident?

The couple should contact an immigration lawyer. If an illegal alien is in this country for more than one year, then they are subject to a 10 year bar from ever intering USA agin. The couple should hire a lawyer to help with the process of filing the required forms, and the illegal will have to then return home to his/her country and wiat for an interview at the American Consulate. This is a process, and the bar can be waived if spouse files for a petition. The illegal will have to remain in home country for 30-45 days and wait for the approval of the petition. If approved the illegal will then receive his/her green card. If denied they will be subject to the ten year bar. Nothing is guaranteed in this process, and any convictions of a felony or misdemeanor will be a disadvantage to this person.

How did the first people migrate to North America?

It happened roughly 20000 years ago during an Ice Age.

They crossed the Bering Land Bridge opened because sea level was much lower, from Siberia to Alaska.

Then they either followed an inland ice free route south or used boats to travel south down the coast. Possibly both routes were used.

Why do people migrate to Britain?

because people know that England is a rich country and they can get a job. People moved here after the second world war. Many people in Britain had died, homes and buildings were bombed down. Britain called on the countries that were part of its empire a long time ago to come to Britain if they wanted to.

Many people in some of the poorer countries came over for a good education and job opportunities, which they would not get in their own countries.

The other place that one could gain British citizenship would be at one of the British islands or at a British embassy (if born there).

Do immigrants pay taxes?

If the question refers to Federal income taxes, the lack of legal address and SSN would seem to be a stumbling block. However, it is possible to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number without having a SSN. There is evidence that suggests quite a few illegal immigrants do this and do pay Federal income taxes. On the other hand, local sales taxes are paid by everyone at the store.

If it is a felony, YES! The laws clearly state that if you are not a citizen when the crime was committed you can be deported. they are clamping down more so on this law after 911.

When a U.S. citizen marries an illegal foreign national does he or she have to return to their country before applying for a Greencard and if so for how long?

No. You apply in the US. The only issue is whether he has to return to India for permission from his country. But I believe that's handled through his consulate (most major cities have a consulate for India). * The foreign national spouse will be required to voluntarily leave the U.S. or be officially deported. Immigration laws no longer allow a citizen spouse to apply for permanent resident status of a spouse who was unlawfully present at the time of the marriage. There are a few exceptions to the law, such as a person who qualifies as a refugee or asylee. Because the person entered the U.S. illegally they will not be able to apply for reentry for at least one year or if they have been in the U.S. for more than a year the time becomes 10 years, with exceptions made based on the merit of individual cases.

Is it illegal to use a false Social Security number to get married and would it be a legal marriage?

Most definately! Look at the question and try to say no. Anytime you falsify anything against the government you can be arrested and jailed if the respective entity finds out. That's the reason why at the bottom of virtually almost all legal documents it states "I certify under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is TRUE and CORRECT." PERJURY DEFINED: Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. Perjury is a crime because the witness has sworn to tell the truth and, for the credibility of the court, witness testimony must be relied on as being truthful. Perjury is considered a very serious crime as it could be used to usurp the power of the courts, resulting in miscarriages of justice. In the United States, for example, the general perjury statute under Federal law provides for a prison sentence of up to five years, and is found at 18 U.S.C.

F2 to h1b visa?

The new F6 visa is an alternative to the Korean-spousel F2-1 visa, being basically the same, but not subject to early cancellation by the Korean spouse when the marriage ends for unforeseeable circumstances.

Many immigrants who have settled in Korea before or after marrying a Korean, and on the F2-1 visa, had been held to random or punished by vindictive or malicious Korean ex-spouses after a sour relationship ended, and so the Korean government has sought to provide better means for immigrants to remain settled in Korea. Nearly all F2-1 visas are now renewable to an F6, upon payment of a 20,000w fee, and submission of an application with passport photo and existing F2-1 card/passport.

The alternative is the longstanding F5 visa, which, unlike the F2-1 and F6, does not expire/is not subject to a renewal requirement.

Do Canadians need a visa for travel to Thailand?

How do immigration affect a place?

Yes it does! Immigration effects alot! Everytime a poor being enters a Society, the Society also gets a little bit of poor too. Then there is certain sicknesses and diseases that may be carried from the immigrant and from its country. But then there is also a good trade-off; new customs are also born into the society. This is the worst thow, illegal immigration.

Say the one illegal immigrant from Mexico just decides to hop the border into Texas. Also just say he was very sick. So he enters a hospital with no money, and also illegally not as a US citizen. He was brought into a room and the doctors cured him. OH NO! He has no money! Guess who pays for it? us.

Another Opinion:

Yes of course immigration effects the population. But most of us, except Native Americans, would not be here in the US today if it were not for immigration. Immigration made this country what it is today. The people who established our government were mostly born in England, not in the US. Immigration is not, in itself, a bad thing.

Certain things that will fall into this category include: physical or mental disorders, and past criminal convitctions. There are a variety of green cards an individual can apply for so check to see which category you fall into. The categories are immediate family members, marriage visas, work visas, and long term illegal residents.
