What if your mother becomes a US citizen before you turn 18 are you a US citizen too?
According to the US Citizenship and Immigration Services website:
A child automatically becomes a U.S. citizen when all of the following conditions have been met under section 320 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Child Citizenship Act (CCA):
- At least one parent of the child is a U.S. citizen, whether by birth or naturalization.
- The child is under the age of 18 years.
- The child is residing in the United States in the legal and physical custody of the U.S. citizen parent based on a lawful admission for permanent residence.
Can citizenship be revoked for a drug conviction?
It is most likely "unilateral marriage fraud." That means that the fraud was committed completely on the part of the alien while your sister was married in good will. Yes, this is illegal. Could he have his citizenship revoked for this? Yes, because he obtained it through fraud. What is the likelihood of it actually happening? VERY SMALL. Your sister should write a letter to USCIS explaining everything. She should also call or write her congressman's office. *
Yes. If within two years of becoming a citizen the USCIS finds that the person acquired citizenship through misrepresentation, then administrative revocation can take place. If the time limit of two years has expired the government must file suit in federal court to have the person "de-naturalized". *If a US citizen renounces his citizenship at a US Embassy overseas and then becomes a citizen of the foreign country, the US government will try to take away his US citizenship legally. Other countries will revoke citizenship if the person becomes a citizen of another country. This is hypocrisy since many countries claim that their people are still citizens even if they are born in another country,as long as one of the parents is a citizen by birth. Many people have dual nationalities and two passports which they use regularly. Jews born outside of Israel are an example where regardless of where they were born, they have the right to ask for and be granted citizenship in Israel without a lengthy wait.
They do not. Essentialism is not about building a new society;
it is more about deconstructing society down to its parts and
understanding it on the most fundamental level.

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.

What residence and physical requirements must an applicant for citizenship meet?
Yes, at least five years.
Applicants wanting to obtain US Citizenship must have maintained continuous residence in the United States for at least five years immediately preceding the applicant's filing for citizenship with form N-400. Continuous residence is not the same thing as physically being present in the United States. An applicants must maintain status as a legal permanent resident (green card holder), but does not necessarily have to be physically in the United States to accomplish this.
For instance, if individual is overseas for a portion of this period, maintaining a U.S. address and paying one's state and federal taxes may help to provide continuity of residence for this eligibility requirement. If the applicant plans to be abroad for several months, it may be wise to file Form I-470, Application to Preserve Residence for Naturalization Purposes, prior to departing the U.S. in order to preserve their continuous and physical residence status. If the applicant is married to a U.S. citizen, only three years of continuous residence is required before filing N400 based on marriage in obtaining the green card.

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.

Are Hispanics illegal immigrants?
Some are and some aren't. Do not make the assumption that all Hispanics are illegals. The term Hispanic refers to all Spanish people. Do not equate Hispanic with Mexican, which is basically all the media talks about. There are countless Hispanics in the US that entered the country legally. Also be aware of the fact that you don't have to be Hispanic to be an illegal immigrant. They come from every country in the world. They come to the US from Asia, Africa, or Europe with a tourist visa and stay on after it expires, that makes them illegal immigrants.
If an illegal alien marries a US citizen does he automatically become a US citizen?
No.................
The only way they can become a US citizen would be to go back to their home country and then apply for a fiance visa, and then you have to go through all kinds of forms to make it happen.
It is pretty well cut and dried here, once an illegal, always an illegal, unless you go through the proper channels.
