Can a legal immigrant who marries a citizen become legal?
If such action is taken the application for citizenship will become null and void and the non-citizen will have to wait the required three years before he or she can refile under the marital requirements. The person may also be subject to deportation action if they have not been granted permanent resident status.
Can an illegal immigrant who has had an American baby get a green card?
Generally speaking, they will not be able to get a green card until the child reaches the age of 19 or 21 (can't remember exactly) and can file an 1-130 for their parent. Needles to say, this is one of the longest ways to get a green card. Some people say that this is why people come to the U.S., but a 20 plus year wait doesn't seem very attractive to me.
AnswerIt's 21 years. And I agree: waiting for your baby to be 21 years old so you can get your permanent resident alien visa ("green card") is hardly worth it. But, believe it or not, that's the only hope to get a visa for millions of illegal immigrants right now other than marriage to an American citizen.Were Mexican immigrants welcomed or rejected?

Do Thai people need visa to Cambodia?
Yes, but it is a Visa-on-Arrival. At any border crossing, airport, or seaport of Cambodia, after crossing the Cambodian border, you will pay a fee of between $20-$25 USD for a Cambodian 30-day travel visa. Do not buy a Cambodian VISA from any person, group, or vendor outside of Cambodian sovereign territory as these will generally be overpriced scams.

Yes a AS6 category green card holder can travel to home country. Provided he feels safe to travel to his home country and he is not anymore fearful of the effects of going there.While you travel to your home country you are on your own and since you are not a US citizen the US government will not help if you are in trouble in your home country whatsoever.

What was the impact of the European immigration on the first nations settlements?
The First Nations peoples of Canada lived in many very different environments and their languages and cultures were as different from each other as English, Arabic, Turkish and Hindu cultures and languages. There really is almost no common thing that they "did".
The main thing they have in common is their similar experiences with the European colonial governments, oppressive laws, stolen land and resources, colonists, armies, traders and trappers and miners and loggers, European diseases, new trade goods and materials and plants and animals, and the European missionaries and their beliefs. In their attempts to deal with these changes are what they all have in common.

How long does it take to deport illegal immigrant from the us?
As I understand it .. It depends on the person being deported.. I read today 06/27/2012 that DHS is saying it can Currently take Up-To 8 years to deport somebody..
Ease and expediency of deporting somebody, Depends on the circumstances holding a person here, and his or her ability to fight and appeal his or her deportation order through the courts.
Also, DHS will prioritize depending on seriousness of infractions - if there have been any other criminal activity other than unauthorized presence which would make he or she a higher priority for removal.
The Government has limited funds to do this job after all, so they are not going to fast track and deport "a family member" for "just" breathing American air.. Over.. Say.. A serial killer who overstayed his Visa.. Prioritization of law enforcement and processing any criminal is done in exactly the same fashion as your local police will operate..
For example.. "Usually" Your local Police Officer won't throw YOU into jail for jaywalking - even though it is illegal, and they can. They have to prioritize the serious cases over the not-so-serious cases with the limited funds they have, and they do this to keep us all safer by getting rid of the REALLY Bad guys first.
So it depends.. If those deported are not criminals (outside of being illegally present - which really isn't considered a "criminal action" - More a civil code violation) And those aliens choose to fight through the courts, it can take long time for final removal..
If those caught residing illegally sign off on their removal at time of capture - it can take a very short period of time. If those people "caught" have done something Truly criminal (let's leave the pedantic definitions of misnomers and hysteria aside).. Then they also will be fast tracked for deportation and will sometimes be deported by the courts in absentia and right after they serve their time.
Like I say.. Depends.. But Currently - Depending on the person.. From a very short period of time, Up-to 8 years.
How much does an immigrant get paid?
Well, they do take jobs that others here legally might have. Illegal aliens do not go through a process of legal citizenship that legal immigrants must go through. They do not pay taxes and yet live here and benefit as if they did pay taxes. Some (more than some) commit crimes (anything "illegal" is a crime) and some (more than some) are involved in criminal gangs.

You are unable to extend your J-1 Au Pair Visa.

Can some one after being deported ever get his status back in the u.s.a?
It depends on why a person gets deported and how many times they were deported. An Aggravated Felon can never return to the U.S. An illegal alien, with no criminal record, who was deported is inelgible to receive a visa for a set amount of time, either 5, 10, or 20 years. This can be overcome by applying for a waiver from the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. In most cases, someone with family ties in the U.S. can apply for and receive a waiver of some sort to return legally.

No. The marriage would not be allowed. Also, marrying a US citizen regardless of the circumstances does not prevent an illegal immigrant from being deported.
Why did Americans oppose immigration during this time period?
There is always a certain amount of fear that immigrants are going to compete with Americans for jobs, and Americans will wind up unemployed as a result. Of course, an economy does not have only a specific number of jobs, and immigrants can also start new businesses and employ people, besides which, everybody is an immigrant or the descendant of immigrants (even Native Americans; they just immigrated earlier than anybody else).
Can a convicted felon still sponsor an alien for citizenship?
As a US citizen, you can sponsor an alien for U.S. Green Card for the the immediate relatives of a U.S. citizen, such as: parents, spouses and children (who are unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen. You can also sponsor married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens; and brothers/sisters of U.S. citizens, including their spouses and their minor children. But as a convicted felon, most likely you are in jail, with little or no income. So it is difficult for you to "sponsor" an alien financially. The USCIS Form I-864 - Affidavit of Support is required for family-sponsored immigration. An affidavit of support is a guarantee to U.S. government that an immigrant will not become a public charge. The affidavit could be offered by the petition sponsor or someone who could provide financial assistance to the immigrant in the event that such help would be necessary. All petitioners, regardless of whether or not they have been working or living in the U.S. since the past three years, must submit a notarized Form I-864, Affidavit of Support, for the beneficiaries of the petitions.
