If the person in the U.S illegally he cannot file a lawsuit for something he is not entitled to, due to the fact he was illegally employed. Likewise, the employer may find themselves in legal difficulty as well as the undocumented foreign national. For more information on the procedure for reporting persons who are unlawfully present in the U.S. consult the United States Citizenship and Immigrantion Services website, http://www.uscis.gov or Immigration and Customs Enforcement, http://www.ice.gov
As a general rule, no. However, you must both be subject to the jurisdiction of the court. As a general rule, if the spouse brought the proceeding, and the military person accepted by appearing in person, or by attorney, or appearing by responding to the pleadings, then the court can and does exercise its jurisdiction. The points are jurisdiction, local state rules and law, facts. (Jurisdiction of course is always a question of the merger of facts and law, just like all legal questions.) Under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Consititution, due and proper decisions in one state are recognized by the other states. Now just what's due and proper is a bit more more dificult to decide from case to case, facts to facts, and state to state. You just got to deal with a local lawyer. There is no fast general answer here.
If you marry a girl abroad will she gain the right to live with you in the US?
If you are marrying a girl from another country, she will not be allowed in the U.S. Unless she is legal or getting her citizenship. A person's immigration status is immaterial in connection with the ability to marry. Marriage is a fundamental right. Now, the illegal spouse may not be legally allowed to stay in the USA, but that does not affect the validity of the marriage. The marriage is not legally binding if she is an illegal alien. It depends on where you are and the process to obtain the marriage license. You can marry her without her having a social security number, but if you want to help her with her status she must have a form of entry such as a I-94 or a stamp on her passport otherwise its going to be impossible.
A U.S. Citizen can get married to an illegal immigrant if the said illegal immigrant was duly inspected at a port of entry. As such, he/she must have a valid I-94, an entry stamp in his passport, a visa. This is just preliminary because the couple must have to subsequently prove to the U.S. Immigration that the marriage is genuine and was entered into not as a way to evade immigration regulations and laws.
Generally speaking, to qualify for citizenship, you must:
- Be a lawful permanent U.S. resident;
- Be 18 years of age or older;
- Be a permanent resident for not less than five years. (If a person obtained permanent residence through marriage to a U.S. citizen, they may be eligible for naturalization in three years if the couple has been married for 3 years, if the spouse was a citizen during that entire period, and if the couple are still living in marital unity);
- Have resided for not less than three months in the state where the petition was filed;
- Be physically present in the United States for at least one half of the five years (or one half of three if spouse is a citizen), with no absences longer than six months;
- Have resided continuously within the United States from the date the petition was filed to the time of admission to citizenship;
- Have been a person of good moral character for the five years of residence;
- Have an elementary level of reading and writing English. (Exceptions to this rule exist for persons over fifty, in the US for 20 years or more as a permanent resident; and for persons over 55 , in the US for 15 years as a permanent resident); and
- Have a basic knowledge of the fundamentals of U.S. government and history. (This requirement can be waived for people over 65 and have been permanent resident for 20 years.
So what? Don't worry about the divorce. You were a resident for five years. And as long as you were legally married and stayed out of trouble you should be granted U.S. Citizenship. Visit the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website for specific information. http://www.uscis.gov

Is it legal to get married drunk?
No! Just because you are married to someone that is of legal drinking age does not mean you are allowed to drink. If your spouse who is of legal drinking age gets caught allowing you to drink him or her could be charged with contributing to the welfare of a minor. Sorry you will have to wait until you are of legal drinking age unless you want to take the chance of getting caught. Good Luck.
In Hawaii, a Certificate of Live Birth is a long form birth certificate. The Certification of Live Birth is the short form birth certificate. The long form contains more information than the short form. The Certification is computer generated utilizing the information from the long form birth certificate. It shows the date the long form was filed. If a Certificate of Live Birth (long form) does not exist, the state of Hawaii will issue a No Record Certification.
A short form birth certificate from Hawaii is acceptable proof of birth and citizenship when applying for a US passport, but a short form birth certificate from California or Texas is not.

If there is evidence of a DUI conviction, the consular officers are likely to refer you to a recognized panel physician.

You may also be examined to determine if you exhibit signs of alcoholism.
Can a non resident of US buy property in US?
The ability and right to own property, even if you were not a citizen, goes back to the founding principles of this country when it was an English colony. Property rights were very important to the founders of the United States and have remained strong at the federal, state, and local levels of government. Citizens of the United States are able to purchase property in many foreign countries.
Can you apply citizenship if your green card expired?
If she came in legally, you can file for her greencard. If she came in illegally, she will not be able to get her greencard without leaving the country.
I am assuming that your wife entered the US illegally otherwise she should have I-94. A person who marries a legal foreigner can definitely apply for her/his greencard, but has to take the first steps which is AOS, EAD and advanced parole. If your wife is an illegal alien, consult an immigration lawyer.
Yes. But there is a review later on and if the marriage is thought to be a sham the green card can be taken away.
