Citizenship and Marriage

By being born to a parent who is legally resident of the US (either as citizen, permanent resident, student, or on a work visa).

Children born to diplomats are not eligible to receive citizenship by birth, under the laws of the US.

No, you must have a permanent resident card that does not expire within the next six (6) months, you can not be here on a work or school visa.

He can, since there is no legality involved. However, life and expectations are so much better if the man has his final divorce decree before making such a commitment to someone else. The period during and for awhile after divorce can be an emotional roller coaster.

Having a US born child and an American military personnel will not favor an illegal mother. She can try to legalize her status at the earliest.

either communtiy service, obey the laws, military service, or voting. I'm not positive which one.

It depends, if it is one person committing it, it is usually not even enforced, especially if it's a female. If there is an illegal immigration ring, then there is possible prison time, fines, deportation, etc. Immigration fraud can be reported to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), a division of Homeland Security. If you give a few more details, maybe I can be more specific.

In Michigan you must be 18 to get married without permission. With parental permission you can get married at 16, but it requires the parents consent. Under 16 may be allowed with a court order.

if at the time of the incident, the police was involved then it will be in your CRB for life. when you apply for British citizenship, a CRB cheque is done to cheque your records, the spent and non spent ones, and of coues the incident of shoplifting, but then, depends on how old where you at the time, the value of the theft items, where are you from, wethere you did it again after that or not....

Personally, I was caught shoplifting in 2006, and applied for indefinit stay to remain in the UK in 2010 and I got it, also I worked in various places involving money and confidentiality and had no problems at all. last month I applied for the British Citizenship, I am a bit worried but just hopping that I will get a good news to carry on with my life. I will update you with the result for my application ans at the main time all what I can say is that if you want to be fixed and really have the 100% correct answer for your question then you have to try it your self and hope for the best, and in case the worst happen then just be strong enough to not give up and continue in life and take it as if there is a price for everything in life, and when the worse hapends then is is just the price for the stupide thing that we done in the past which is nothing else than shopliffting.

good luck,....xxx

Yes a non resident alien can seek divorce from US Citizen. It is actually to their advantage as they can short cut residency requirement by applying for domestic violence thru the Dept of Homeland Security. If found victim of domestic violence either by physical or mental abuse residency is granted. All that's needed is simply a claim in most cases.

Yes, in addition to being an illegal immigran and subject to expulsion. They would become a bigamist, subject to criminal prosecution and quite possibly a jail sentence.

A foreigner who marries a Mexican doesn't automatically get Mexican nationality, but they can apply for Mexican nationality after only 2 years instead of waiting longer. For example, a foreigner (not married to a Mexican) who applies for Mexican nationality on the basis of Mexican residence has to wait 5 years.

Yes you can,But depending on the crime you might be denied a renewal. In 1996 Immigration laws changed felons who hold a valid Greencard up for renewal can have their Greencard taken away and deported.The law is retroactive,Meaning crimes that were commited prior to 1996 are now reviewed and Immigration decides if you stay in the U.S or are deported. Aggravated crimes(Drugs,Murder,Assault.Robbery and Violent crimes)are grounds for imediate removal regardless of how long ago they were commited.

The license to preach is a call from God and only He can anoint us with His truth. A piece of paper has no value unless God has ordained you by His Spirit, where the elders set you in your ministry as they are led of the Spirit. How can one preach the truth without obeying the scriptures which state, that we must obey the law of the land.

No, the first step of going to US for marriage will be difficult like applying for a Fiance VISA the National Statistic Office will not issue the certificate of singleness which is a requirement in the US embassy. And in an instance that one goes to US without processing the Fiance VISA (assuming one has an existing approved US VISA), the marriage license will be filed in the Phil. embassy which can trace the existing marriage in PH. But anyway I would suggest to settle your marriage in PH first.

An example of citizenship are by obeying laws, paying taxes, serving in the armed forces if called, and serving on a jury or as a witness in court

No.

The county (or city) they were married in website (court records) would have that information but not all cities or towns have websites. In that case you would have to pay an investigator in that town to physically go to the courthouse and search the records.

I am in the same situation. My fiance was here and left voluntarily and although USCIS approved my petition for a K1 visa, they denied his visa for having been in the US for over a year so they banned him for 10 years with a denial of obtaining any waiver or pardon until he completes the 10 year ban. It doesn't matter if you have hardships they won't allow you to waiver that decision which is the form I-601. I asked lawyers if there was anything I could do and they said no, I even contacted the consular office in Mexico and they told me the same thing, I keep hitting a brick wall. So basically as far as I've been told so far, there is nothing we can do until he completes the years he is given then maybe you can petition him/her again.

Citizenship means that a person is a citizen of a country with certain rights and responsibilities. Residency means that a person is a resident of a country but not a citizen. Different countries have different laws, but foreign residents in the US must have a green card. They may renew the green card annually, or become US citizens, or return to their own country.

It depends on who you ask. Some Americans believe that everyone should have the chance to be an American. Other people believe that there are enough people in the country.
