Green Cards

It usually takes 4-7 weeks.

Truth be told, I could get a toad to understand your question, withOUT a green card, if I understood what the H E double hockey sticks you are asking!!!

But here's my best attempt. A green card has only one use: to identify you as a legal permanent resident of the USA. Anyone offering employment to you has a right to ask you if you are a legal resident and then deny you employment if you cannot prove you are.

As for Cairo, Georgia, I don't believe the laws are any different there than in the rest of the US -- :-) Good LUCK!

Confessions of the Green Card Bearer is a poem by Fatima Lim. Analysis of the poem reveals that it is about an immigrant to the USA.

You have to make up your mind to either have her go with you or you will have to go to Immmigration and go through the red tape of staying with her. The sooner you decide this the better. Meanwhile, you could have her visit you if it's possible until all papers are finalized. * Legally the only option the non citizen has is to file an appeal regarding the deportation. Even so, it's not likely he will be allowed to remain in the US. Depending upon how long he has been out of status within the country the US citizen can apply for a fiance visa for him (assuming they want to marry). FYI, marrying a US citizen will not prevent an unlawfully present foreign national from being deported.

it takes about 2 weeks usually to get a pio card

Never, countries that have sent 50,000 immigrant to the U.S. over the last 5 years are not allowed in the visa lottery. This number disqualifies most of Western Europe. Although for some reason, North Ireland citizens, although part of the UK, ARE allowed to enter the visa lottery (i cant explain why this is).

Yes provided the reason for travel is very important or compulsory one. The confirmation receipt got after filing Form I-90 for green card renewal may be acceptable along with copy of old green card.

Still, InfoPass is free, so it makes sense to make an appointment to be sure and confirm it with USCIS.

Basic criteria to apply for US citizenship is to be a green card holder in US. Only if you already have a green card for a minimum period of 5 years and above age of 18 years and have stayed in US continuously during that period you are eligible to apply for US citizenship.

If citizenship is denied you still can continue to stay in US as a green card holder.

In case you are not happy with decision after applying for US citizenship using Form N-336 you get another chance of applying for US citizenship. Once you correct the mistake because of which citizenship was denied in the first place the second time you apply you can be sure to get citizenship. Elaborate and careful preparation of the Form N-400 is very important.

Yes.

As a lawful permanent resident (which is what a "green card" actually represents), you are entitled to most of the same rights and responsibilities as a citizen. Texas (or any other state) has no ability to curtail any of these rights, as they fall under federal jurisdiction.

So, a foreign national alien (i.e. one who does not have a valid permanent US visa) can indeed marry a US permanent resident, and is then eligible to apply for a US permanent visa themselves. However, they will have to wait longer for the paperwork to clear than would a U.S. citizen trying to get a green card for their foreign spouse. Generally speaking, it can take up to a year or so for the green card paperwork to clear.

Yes it is.

Always don't give a fake answer,say, I'll stay with this company for 5 years. Instead give a detailed explanation that what makes you stay long with that company & Why do you want to associate a long term bond with that company. Is you say so, your answer will definitely impress the HR.

You can only divorce from your marriage in the US if so. To divorce from a marriage in Brazil, even though you are legal citizens in the US, you must do it in Brazil. Go to a consulate or embassy for more information.

Yes, they can.

A permanent resident who lives in Boston can go to Florida without any problem. It would make common sense that they carry the Green Card with them when they travel.

Yes. It makes the applicant look better, plus the applicant can claim her as a financial source to help him if things get tough. The Dept of Immigration likes to see at least one other person who can financially help out the applicant. You don't want to have ANY unpaid debts or criminal issues when you apply. Also, an esoteric education and list of job experiences is helpful.

there is only one green card and its called the permanent residents card. it needs to be renewed every 10 years

True

It take up to four weeks depending on your background or fingerprint.

I was in same boat - I had charges of "Simple Battery" with one year court supervision and anger management class and recently my Green Card approved; It took around 15 months. Simple battery is not a crime of moral turpitude; there is lot of misconception about this: Make sure send original certified copy of disposition letter from county clerk office it would may cost around $3 to $5 - My case were delayed for 3 months because I didn't send original certified copy. Good Luck & cheers!

Yes but you usually have to be out of country for a while.

I am applying green card for my parents. They are concerned that they may not be able to come USA and stay for more than 6 months each year, particularly since they are elderly and not in a great health. Is there a special rule for older people holding a US green card not to come USA every year but every two years?

Not automatically. You have to get the appropriate visa and documents.
