Can an immigrant become a US citizen if married?

No, an alien or immigrant, legal or otherwise, does not become a citizen automatically upon marriage to a citizen. There is a process of applying, processing and (hopefully) eventual approval by the Federal government. First is Permanent Residency status ("Green card"). Then there's a wait of 3 years or more - depending on situation - for citizenship qualification. The website for the agency which handles this process is: USCIS.GOV

Current illegal status may add some complications which I don't know about; it may be wise to consult an immigration attorney - a lawyer who specializes in immigration issues. There are lots of other web sites which give more information as well.

An illegal alien does not automatically become a citizen by marrying one. However, certain illegal aliens can get permanent residence status (often called the "green card") by marrying a US citizen. If the person originally entered the United States legally but overstayed his or her visa, than it is possible for him or her to "adjust status" to that of a permanent resident (i.e. get a "green card") if the US citizen fills out a series of petitions including one that proves that the US citizen can financially support the alien. If the alien is illegal because he or she snuck into the United States without any visa or permit, than that person cannot "adjust status" and has to leave the country before obtaining a green card. If the person was illegally in the country for more than a year, than he or she is barred from ever coming back for 10 years (known as the "10-year-bar") The only way to overcome having the 10-year-bar is by the US citizen spouse filing a petition for a waiver of the bar. The petition has to prove that it would cause extreme and exceptional hardship to him or her to move to his or her spouse's country. Only three years after the person has the green card can they apply for citizenship, and they must still be married to the original citizen who got the green card.

If you are convinced that he is "the one," than you should seriously consider marrying him. Once you are married you can start the process by filing the I-130. once it is approved, he will have to go back to Mexico for an interview to get his visa at the American consulate in Ciudad Juarez. He will be denied the visa because he was illegaly present in the US for over a year. At that time, he will be instructed to file the I-601. You will have to present evidence proving that you could not live in Mexico. This would include evidence of medical problems you may have, financial obligations in the US, familial obligations (i.e. caring for aging parents or disabled relatives.) and anything else that would make it impossible for you to move to Mexico. You have to prove that the hardship would be ABOVE and BEYOND the hardship that could be obviously expected. This means that the fact that you love him and "can't live without him" would not mean SQUAT to the case. The good news is that 90% of I-601s that are filed at Ciudad Juarez are approved. If you are serious about your boyfriend and plan to marry him and go through the long process of getting him his greencard, than you might want to talk to an immigration lawyer about your options. You should also pop into immigrate2us.net. Post under the I-601 section in the "waivers" category.

How long can you legally stay in the US with a tourist visa?

Answer

The standard length of admission for a B1/B2 visa is 6 months in most ports but as with most admissions it is up to the determination of the inspecting officer. Most people who are tourists can not afford to be away from their homes or jobs for more then 6 months. Some one who is coming for medical care might request up to a year for the treatment. With the proper documentation an officer can grant that request without having to consult with a Supervisor. Most other people if you are looking to gain admission for more then 6 months you are either looking to do something that is not permitted by law on a tourist visa or looking to illegally work in the U.S. Just remember a visa only gets you on the plane to come to America. It is 100% up to the inspecting officer if you get admitted or returned home. Getting caught in a lie is the fastest way to find yourself on a plane back home.

The actual truth of the matter is that all tourists visas are not equal. A B visa class is not part of the Visa Waiver Program and is connected with the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative and is unique to Canadians in that they don't need to apply for one to pleasure travel.

In effect, all Canadians travelling to the US arrive on a B-2 visa and it's time frame is 6 concurrent months.

Other countries can obtain and apply for different classes of visitors visas OR come to the US via VWP.

It is also incorrect that you cannot get your stay extended under the VWP, but since that's not what we're discussing it doesn't matter, does it?

Please refer yourself to the State Dept website or USCIS for correct and current information regarding visas particular to your country and be wary of internet advice!

Good luck!

Are aliens black?

Short Answer - who knows.

Long answer - Actually, if one accepts the notion of extraterrestrial beings coming from distant star systems or galaxies many many light years away, it would be presumed that having the technology to travel through space, they could be any colour - the skin colour native to their own home planet.

The 'Greys' (as per Close Encounters of the Third Kind) are so named for their skin tone and big eyes. The 'Black' or 'Dark' beings are so named for their dwarfish and muscular appearance and 'space-suit' colour.

Some movies even portray the 'Greys' as being 'suited' in a skin-like fabric.

What is a word for marrying family?

One must differentiate between marriage and sexual union. Marriage is a legal concept, and is regulated by laws and customs of societies. For example, in some states it is illegal for first cousins to marry, but in several it is legal -- although perhaps frowned upon by society.

Sexual union, however, is a different matter. Among first-degree relatives (parent-child, brother and sister) it is always considered incest, and usually among aunts/uncles/nieces nephews as well. Incest is defined differently in different cultures, but it is always forbidden by custom and religious strictures as well as (perhaps) by law. It can also result in inbreeding.

Marriage is a legal concept. You cannot have an incestuous marriage, because it would not be legal, therefore not a marriage.

Was Pandit Nehru a British citizen?

Does a US citizen need a work visa to work in Mexico?

Canada and the US have independent immigration systems, so having been deported from the US does not in itself disqualify you for a Canadian work visa. The US and Canada do cooperate on matters of international law enforcement dealing with such matters as organized crime gangs, drug trafficking, or terrorism, so if you were deported for that kind of reason, there could be a problem. In any event, I suggest you consult your local Canadian embassy or consulate for more information.
