Can a US citizen marry a Mexican citizen in Mexico and return to the US immediately?
He or she could, but his or her partner must make the appropriate arrangements so that she or he acquires the US citizenship. Namely, contacting the American embassy in Mexico and begin such legal process.

Yes, you are allowed to hold dual nationalities based on the laws of both countries. You may lose either one by voluntarily renouncing them (you should do the official paperwork and have the renunciation approved).
He was a heavy smoker and it is told that he died from heart failure , this was during his 4th expedition on Greenland.
Why is it so hard to get into the us legally?
The US has a population of approximately a third of a billion people, as compared to the total world population which is approaching seven billion people, so there are about 20 times as many people living outside the US as compared to inside the US. Many of these people are living in countries that are not as well developed as the US and which suffer from starvation, poverty, unemployment, and many social ills which are less prevalent in the US. If the US did not restrict immigration it would be flooded with far more immigrants than it can assimilate. A certain number of immigrants can be incorporated into the existing economic and social structures, but there is a limit. Just as an individual could manage to entertain only so many house guests at a given time, so can a nation only deal with so many immigrants.
You married an illegal immigrant Does he have to leave the US?

How do illegals become citizens?
They can't. That said, if the alien has a way of getting a green card now, like a resident relative, there may be ways to keep him here while the paperwork goes thru. If they don't have any means of getting a green card despite their being illegal, then they cannot become citizens or residents, period. Maybe through an amnesty.
It MAY be possible, though attempting poses considerable risk of being deported.
there are 2 ways to become a legal.
first,it is hard to become citizen for a illegal person. but they have a chance to do it. first of all that person's status must br convert in to the F1 visa status and get a admission in a good college or university. in order to do that you must have to Jamaica for reinstatement process. once you are in in status, get a admission in college. after your college you apply for opt then H1 visa. then you go for green card and finally citizenship. these steps might looks easy and short. but i am sorry to say that it is not. it is really long process.i know how one fill being a illegal that's why i am sharing this information.
Second,the most easiest way to become a ligel is find and citizen girl or boy and marry to them. by this way, you will become citizen in short period of time.If you are asking about the following case:
- You are in the country (USA) illegally
- You wish to get a green card WITHOUT leaving the country
This is NOT possible UNLESS you can successfully apply for asylum, which is based on the expectation of political or religious persecution in your home country, and is not simple to do. ALL other routes to a green card require that the applicant at some point during the process apply FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRY. That is, even by marrying a U.S. citizen, the paperwork requires that the non-citizen apply at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their Home Country. There is no way to remain inside the U.S. and become a legal resident.
Note that this is true for the vast majority of legal US Visas, too. That is, most visas are of a Temporary nature, and are what is called "Non-convertible". That is, once you are admitted into the US on a certain visa, you cannot then later "convert" this visa into another by applying for that visa WITHOUT returning to your home country first. Only a specific few types of visa will allow you to remain inside the US and be converted to another one.

What if you are married in another country and get married in the US then divorce the foreigner?
For starters, the foreign national has committed a crime of perjury for stating that they were single and could get married. One has to wonder what other falsifications are going to come forward in this relationship. One should contact the consulate for their country in a local embassy for more information on this.
Can you apply for a fiance visa for an illegal immigrant spouse?
NO! If you could do that then every Mexican with an American girlfirend would be legal. We are all hiding out and waiting for some kind of immigration reform that will give them some kind of chance at legal status. If you file those papers while he is here illegally, you might as well kiss him goodbye.
yes you can =]

When was the first gay divorce?
Various forms of same sex marriage have existed since ancient times. They range from informal but life long and socially accepted same sex domestic relationships to formal, ritualized unions of people of the same sex. Nero is said to have married one of his male slaves.
In modern times, the first same-sex marriage happened just after midnight on April 1, 2001 in the Amsterdam City Hall in the Netherlands. The mayor of Amsterdam married a female couple, Anne-Marie Thus and Helene Faasen, and three male couples. It was broadcast live on Dutch television.
What is the citizen ship oath?
The citizenship oath, also known as the Oath of Allegiance, is a pledge that individuals must take to become naturalized citizens of a country, such as the United States. In this oath, individuals swear to renounce allegiance to any foreign powers, uphold the Constitution and laws of the country, and bear arms or perform non-combatant service when required. The oath signifies a commitment to the values and responsibilities of citizenship.
How long before a foreign bride can divorce her husband and retain citizenship?
If you are already a citizen, your citizenship will be retained even if you get a divorce. If you are asking, "How long before a foreign bride can divorce her husband and obtain citizenship?", then the answer is not certain. It depends if you are currently a permanent resident or not. You can check more details at www.ezvisa.us
How long after marrying a citizen and becoming a citizen can that person remarry an illegal alien?
The issue of divorce may in fact be irrelevant.
The USCIS/ICE is no longer recognizing all marriages between unlawfully present foreign nationals and US citizens as valid.
When the foreign national applies for citizenship immigration officials will do an in depth investigation as to the legality of the marriage.
If it is found that the union took place for the sole purpose of the foreign national to gain permanent residency or citizenship, both parties can be charged with a federal felony.
The penalty to all involved parties for being convicted of entering into a fraudulent marriage is a maximum of 5 years in a federal facility and a $250,000 fine. The convicted illegal immigrant will be deported to his or her country of origin and permanently barred from reentry into the US. The US citizen will have a permanent criminal record of having commited a felony offense.
That aside, naturalized citizenship can be revoked (denaturalized) at any time for many reasons including the divorce of a citizen spouse, therefore a time limit does not really matter.
That could be a problem. The license must be issued by the county where the ceremony is to take place.
Do you have to have a visa to marry an American?

Do illegal aliens receive free medical services?
Answer:
No, illegal immigrants do not get welfare benefits, nor ANY government benefit.
Answer:
This is not entirely true. Hospitals are required by The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) to provide emergency treatment to anyone in need, regardless of citizenship status.
Also, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) that the state cannot refuse funding to educate children of illegal aliens.
Illegal aliens who give birth in the U.S. become parents to U.S. citizens, which provides access a wide range of welfare benefits, such as cash payments, food stamps, Medicaid, free school lunch, head start, childcare credits, public housing, etc. Aliens granted amnesty are likewise eligible for benefits.
Can a legal resident apply for citizenship for their sibling?
No, not citizenship, but a legal resident can petition a sibling for legal residency- but the sibling will have to wait in their home country many years (anywhere from 10-20 years)before being allowed legal entry in the U.S. Since you mention a legal resident, a legal resident can only petition a sibling if the sibling is SINGLE. If the sibling is married then you CANNOT file such a petition. If the sibling is single when you file the petition but subsequently gets married, you are required to inform the U.S. government- which would result in the petition being automatically VOIDED. If you know this and do not tell the government- then this would be considered fraud- putting your own legal residency and potential residency of the sibling at risk.
Do you need a license to get married in Las Vegas if you are from Great Britain?
They are, but only if you do things properly.
It is only legal in the UK if:
- The marriage was conducted by a real, registered marriage chapel with a person who holds a real licence to conduct legal marriages. There are many "just for fun" marriage chapels in Vegas which will not grant you legal marriage status anywhere, US or UK.
- You will need to inform the relevant authorities in the UK that you are legally married and provide documentation. The chapel you get married in is not going to tell the British Embassy about your wedding - that is not heir job. You have to tell the relevant people yourself when you return home by showing them the relevant documentation (no need to register, they just need proof). Your wife will also need to contact the banks, insurance, DVLA and so on to have her legal surname changed. You can find out how to inform British authorities of the marriage from this page on the official British government website (click here).
