Most states would not agree to this "arrangement" for this reason alone there are laws that stipulate how long you must be married to qualify for citizenship and you will most likely need to prove you are in an actual relationship, as spouses to qualify.

Can a Muslim woman marry a non Muslim man?

Answer APer Islam religion, a Muslim woman can't marry a non Muslim man. She should marry a Muslim man.

Answer B

It is not permissible for a Muslim woman to marry a man who is not Muslim. She becomes a renegade at the moment she makes up her mind to marry a non-Muslim man.

Because there are no dhimmis (non-Muslims living in a Muslim country and under Islamic laws) today in the world, it is makruh tahrimi--that is, close to haram--for a Muslim male to marry a Christian or a Jewish female. It is not permissible and is a sin.

Answer C (a hint on answer B)It is allowed explicitly in Quran that Muslim man can marry a Christian or Jewish woman with no obligation on the woman to change religion. so, it is not sinful for the Muslim man to do so. However, it should be agreed before marriage that children to be raised up on Islam faith.

What papers an us citizen need to get married in Philippines?

DEPENDS IF IT IS A CHURCH OR LEGAL ONLY WEDDING.

BOTH PARTIES NEED DOCUMENTS TO PROVE WHO THEY ARE AND THAT THEY ARE FREE TO MARRY SUCH AS DIVORCE PAPERS, PASSPORTS, GOVERNMENT ISSUED ID'S, BIRTHICERTIFICATES OF BOTH HUSBAND & WIFE & ALL CHILDREN, & MARRIAGE LICENSE.

if there are children that the woman wants to bring to usa with her, then a signed agreement from the father of the kids (IF NOT SAME AS NEW HUSBAND) will be required.

I STRONGLY ADVISE THAT BOTH PARTIES SIGN A PRENUMPTUAL AGREEMENT PREPARED IN TAGOLOG & ENGLISH & WITNESSED BY AT LEAST TWO FILIPINOS & AN AMERICAN THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR DEPOSITION IF EVER NECESSARY. YOU SHOULD ALSO CONTACT THE US EMBASSY IN MANILA IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS.

I STRONGLY ADVISE ANY AMERICAN MAN TO NOT GET MARRIED IN THE PHILIPPINES AT ALL......INSTEAD BRING HER TO USA ON A FIANCEE VISA.....IT IS MUCH FASTER & EASIER.

IN ADDITION, IF SHE DEVELOPS AN ATTITUDE HERE IN USA, IT IS MANDATED BY LAW THAT YOU JUST SEND HE BACK TO THE PH BEFORE MARRYING HER. YOU HAVE 90 DAYS TO "TRY BEFORE YOU BUY"!

A SPOUSE VISA CAN EASILY TAKE 1 1/2 - 2 YEARS TO BRING YOUR FILIPINA BRIDE TO USA

A FIANCEE VISA CAN USUALLY BE OBTAINED IN 3 - 9 MONTHS & MUCH LESS SCRUTINY IR REQUIRED FOR THIS TYPE VISA AS COMPARED TO SPOUSE VISA.

OK TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS

What are questions of marrying a foreigner?

# You can learn effectively about more another culture, another language. # Your usual-life is always interesting because you always have to discover many exciting and strange things from your foreign partner. # Your children will have at least 2 bloodlines, know at least 2 languages and have at least 2 home countries. # You and your family can reside easily at least in 2 countries. # The second disadvantage is if you want to get divorced you will have to return to signed country to do so.

Why do illegal immigrants come to the US?

Many illegal immigrants come to America for freedom and oppurtunities. Not all countries are fair like the U.S. Many countries keep their citizens poor in order to control them.

AnswerThat is very true. On average, it costs about $15,000 to become a citizen of America, not counting all of the hidden fees and monthly fees and immigrant would have to pay after becoming a citizen. If people from other countries were never exposed to so much money, becoming a citizen would not be an option and the leaders of these countries would be able to keep them controlled.

ANSWER

its a big country its easy to hide in it

How do you get your husband out of house for mental abuse?

Sorry, but I laughed and laughed when I saw your post because I just recently went through the same thing. My hubby and I are best friends as well as lovers, but sometimes they can rely on you for their sole entertainment and it drives me wild too. I believe both people in a relationship need head space. I sure do need mine these days. I have told him he needs to get out with his buddies more and either go golfing, fishing or whatever. He just grins and follows me through the house! I swear it's psychological because when we were first married that all he wanted to do was go fishing, golfing, hiking with his buddies every weekend and the argument would start. We had one TV and he watched every hockey and football game known to man and it ruined some of my movie time. Now, when I encourage him to go out with his friends he's plastered to me like a cheap suit. LOL

Well, I fixed that one real quick. I bought him football tickets and he took a buddy this past Saturday. Then I booked him for a guided fishing trip for 2 days and there you have it! I've pulled sneakies and phoned up his best buddy who he has a great deal in common with and say, "Ernie was talking about going fishing, what do you think?" Right away (and according to my plan) his buddy jumps at the chance and then I say, "Well hey, he'll be home at 7 PM so give him a call!" A free weekend coming up for me! Men! It's so easy to fool 'em. LOL

I love him a great deal, but hey, like you, I want to catch up with my friends, do some things around the house I've been putting off and just kick up my feet, put the old fireplace on and veg out!

Good luckMarcy

What is the procedure to obtain greek citizenship for a non EU national married to a greek?

Depends.

The first option is naturalization if the non-EU national has no EU ancestry/descent/origin.

- Have a clean criminal record

- Be over 18 years of age

- Be married a minimum of 3 years

- Speak Greek fluently

- Live in Greece for 3-7 years

It takes years for these applications to be examined and processed. You can read all about it here, in which the process is detailed from beginning to end: "Greek citizenship by naturalization"

http://livingingreece.gr/2007/03/16/greek-citizenship-citizen-through-naturalization-american-spouse-greece-marriage-work-residence-permit/

The second option is to claim citizenship through an ancestor born in an EU country, if applicable.

- Often no language requirement

- Often no fee

- Often no residency requirements, in fact one can apply outside the country at a consulate or embassy

- Doesn't matter who you are married to

You can read all about it here:

Can you get citizenship by serving in the US Army?

IF a foreign citizen wants to volunteer to serve in the U.S. armed forces, they can, (if they are resident alien of the U.S.)BUT they have to apply from with-in the U.S. so they still need a Green Card to enter the U.S.A. to apply to serve.

For your information, about 15 percent of the U.S. troops in Iraq are NOT U.S. citizens, many are from South and Central America, and they hope to get U.S. citizenship by serving a 4 year enlistment. Kind of sounds like the Roman Legions, who were NOT Romans at all, but fought for pay.

*attention:* NO. You need to be at least a legal resident in order to apply to any of the military corps. Go to a recruitment office an talk to them. You will see for yourself. If you lie about your status or social security number in the application, you will be punished by the law, and will be charged with a felony, and then never and ever can you apply for any immigration benefits at all.

CLARIFICATION: in order to enlist in the US military, you must have a green card. Within one year of your enlistment you will be able to apply for citizenship, as opposed to 3-5 years for civilians. The processing fee is waived for active duty military, and expedited as you will already have had a stringent background check. And, you only have to file the N400 and one other form and the military will do the rest. Detailed instructions are on the USCIS website.

How long do it take for a immigration to become a Us citizenship?

It depends on weather your are a legal resident of the US or not. You first have to get residency in the US before you can become a US citizen. Residency can take up to 2 yrs. in some cases. My suggestion is checking with the INS for more direct answers. Good Luck!!
