How do you file for a divorce in Nigeria if you live in the US?

If you are both in the same country (whether the US or Nigeria) you can use the court system of the country you are in. If you are in different countries, then you are already separated; divorce papers can be sent through the mail, although that is a more difficult process, particularly if your Nigerian spouse does not want to agree to the divorce or does not agree about the terms of the divorce. If worst comes to worst, you might have to travel to the country where your spouse is, to pursue the matter.

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).

If a resident of Ohio is married in Jamaica will the marriage be considered legal in Ohio?

Yes, the United States and all states within have Reciprical Agreements enacted through law by which nations and the various states all respect marriages sanctioned by another. Basically as long as a U.S. marriage is recognized by the government of Jamaica, then a Jamaican marriage would be recognized in the U.S. and thereby must be recognized by all states within the U.S. Yes. If it is recorded with the clerks office. * All legal marriages performed outside the US are deemed legal in the US, no other action is necessary other than the wife informing the necessary agencies, (SSA, state DMV, voter registration, etc.) if she intends to use her husband's surname.

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.

What amendment allowed anyone to become a citizen of the US?

This would have to be the fact of being born on American soil. Or in an American unit while abroad or of military parent while stationed off American soil. This is where you can do the duo citizenship, but why would an infant want that. And the laws could change by the time that infant is an adult.

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).

Can I continue to carry your ex-spouse on company provided health insurance after your divorce?

That depends on what you mean by "on" the spouse's health insurance plan.

Most employer-sponsored plans, subject to Federal and/or state law, do not permit a spouse to be carried after divorce as part of the employee's family coverage. However, under Federal and most state laws, a former spouse ineligible for coverage on any other employer-sponsored plan is entitled to continuation coverage for a period of 36 months after divorce, similar to the coverage a terminated employee is entitled to have for 18 months, provided the former spouse pays the premiums -- including the employer's "share" or subsidy of an employee's premium.

Bottom line: You can continue to be covered by a spouse's plan -- but as a separate participant with an additional, and usually very big, premium.

This answer does not constitute legal advice. To obtain legal advice, consult with an attorney. This is especially important in divorce and family law matters, in which outcomes are often peculiar to the particular facts and circumstances of the case.
