Can a person with green card apply for reentry from out side US?
No, reentry permit should be applied for before leaving US and got approved though it could be asked to be sent to an address abroad. If a green card holder stays outside US for years together he has the option to reenter using a returning visa(SB-1).
For this the green card holder should contact closest US consulate with immigration Form DS-117 available online and downloadable.
Can you work in the us with an expired green card?
Under U.S. Immigration Law, Lawful Permanent Residents must carry their Green Card at all times. Lawful Permanent Residents who cannot produce their Green Card as evidence of status may have difficulty establishing authorization to work, travel or apply for financial services or government benefits. Therefore, if your Green Card is lost or stolen, or expired it is important to replace it right away using Form I-90.
What does category RE6 mean on green card?
It is unimportant (most of the time) government crud.
It means:
RE6 Refugee who entered the United States on or after Apr. 1, 1980. Sec. 209(a) of the INA as added by PL-96- 212 (Mar. 17, 1980)- ((Adjusted status))
To find this I googled: RE6 Green Card
What happens if a person with a green card marries someone with a student visa?
As a US resident(a.k.a. LPR -Legal Permanent Resident), you can sponsor him as your spouse. But for the student to get greencard as a spouse of LPR, it will take 4 to 5 years. Contact an immigration attorney, and have him or her file a petition. And then wait. While waiting, the student MUST stay as a student, or change visa and stay valid. The student must keep a valid visa status while waiting. If the student wants to stay as a student, he or she must keep on studying. If graduation nears, he or she needs to change visa. No matter what happens, keep the valid status. Once the student becomes illegal, by not going to school, or not having changed visa before graduation, he or she cannot get greencard, even if the time comes. That is, unless the greencard holder(LPR), becomes a citizen. If LPR becomes the citizen, then everything changes. A US citizen's spouse doesn't have a waiting period. Also even if citizen's spouse over-stayed his or her visa, that's no problem, if LPR spouse becomes citizen. As soon as LPR spouse becomes the citizen, the student can get greencard, even if he or she over-stayed. If the student leaves US and comes back illegally by crossing border without inspection, all is lost. Even if married to US citizen, illegall entry will get you deported. So, you can get married now, and file a petition for the student as a spouse of LPR. If the LPR spouse doesn't get citizenship, you have to wait 4-5 years and during that time, the student must keep a valid visa, student or otherwise. For the LPR to get a citizenship, he or she must have stayed in US for the past 5 years, and no crimes. If the LPR has a foreign trip longer than 6 months, 5 year counts from the end of the trip. It does not matter whether the LPR(greencard holder) had greencard for 20 years or 20 days, if she or he goes to Greece from September 2005 to April 2006, 5 year counts from April 2006 when he or she comes back to US. If the greencard holder stays in US without long foreign trip, only in 2011, the greencard holder can apply for a citizenship. As soon as getting a citizenship, file a new petition and get greencard for the student. Or get married, file a case and student can quit school. Mostly people quit school for financial reasons. But this is very risky. A lot of people quit school, thinking that when the greencard holder gets citizenship, everything will be okay. But it's not a good idea. First, it takes time for greencard holder to get a citizenship (depends on individuals, 1-6 years). Second, the greencard holder may not pass the citizenship test or have reasons for not getting citizenship, sush as crime he or she didn't think much about. Third, you can break up, leaving the ex-student illegal. For all these reasons, it's good idea to get married, file a petition, keep a valid visa status. In the mean time, if the greencard holder gets a citizenship, good. Refile the case, and get greencard sooner for the student. If the greencard holder has not left US for the past 5 years, and have no criminal record, file a petition for citizenship now. It will only take about 9 to 18 months to get it depends on where you live. If that's the case, get married now, file for citizenship ASAP, keep the student status, and file for greencard for the student when the greencard holder becomes a citizen. If you are sure that greencard holder can pass the citizenship test without problems, then you don't have to file for the student twice, just file for the student when the greencard holder becomes a citizen. Of course if he or she doesn't get citizenship, you would have wasted one year for nothing and file it as greencard holder's spouse and awit for 4-5 years. One thing you should remember. Having filed a petition as a spouse of a greencard holder does not mean that you don't need a visa. You must keep the student status, or other long term visa status, until you get the greencard. That's 5 years. Keep valid visa status at least until you get Employment Authorization Document. You can get it after your number is up in about 5 years. At any rate, you will need an immigration attorney. So seek an advise from an immigration attorney. Many offer 15-30 minute free consultation. I would personally seek an immigration attorney who is a member of American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA). Do a few free consultations and shop around. Then you will get an idea who's good.
Yes, but some states require that you must be 18 to get married, unless with the permission of your parents.
Once you are married, you could get your green card through your US citizen wife.
So, you might have to wait a few months more to get married. Remember, you are getting married for the WRONG reasons!
All biological parents have the right to petition for custody of their child or children, regardless of their resident status. However, depending upon the circumstances the judge is more likely to look favorably on the citizen parent, because the child or children are U.S. citizens and are protected by civil rights laws. The best option for the non-citizen parent is to obtain legal advice, if needed, the person may contact the legal aid society in the state in which they live for referral to an attorney who specializes in immigration problems, and charges fees scaled to the individual and/or accepts pro bono cases. Information for obtaining legal counsel can also be found at United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website, http://www.uscis.gov, and United States Department of Justice website, http://www.usdoj.gov Whether the male is a legit U.S. citizen or not, the child is more than likely to live with the mother, unless her living conditions are unstable or she is unemployed. The sole bread winner is usually a factor that is looked at also.In this case it seems as if the mother will probably get the child. But have a close watch on her for the next few years and try to get a grounded life, such as getting married and buying a house. The courts really look up to an already grounded family. You first must see if you can apply for residency and solve that problem! As far as the child goes, although your status as a current illegal alien might not help your case in court, the decision as to what parent will have custody is mainly based on who was the main care taker of the child. Since the mother usually is the one who is nurishing the child by helping him/her get dressed, feeding the child, etc. (when younger child or baby is involved), then she would custody and you would get visitation rights. If there is child abuse then the main care taker goes out the window if he/she is the abuser. The sole responsibility of the judge is to look out for the child's BEST INTEREST and which parent is mostly involved in that child's upbringing!
I was brought as child to the US illegally Is there anyway I can obtain a green card?
You can easily get a green card if your parents are US citizens. Or if they have green cards, then they can sponsor one for you using that status. However there are specific conditions that need to be met if you want a green card through your parents.
The alien registration number starts with the A.
Green card holders can travel abroad for a maximum period of 180 days on each trip. If you need to stay outside longer for employment or religious purposes you should apply for reentry permit using application travel document, the Form I-131 which is valid for 2 years. Also you can use the Form N-470 meanwhile to preserve residence for naturalization process after a year as green card holder in US.
What is the difference between us citizen and green card holder?
A green card means that you have U.S. permanent residence, that being the right to live and work in the U.S. for an unlimited amount of time. A visa is a right to enter the United States; it's really a physical thing. you can come to the U.S., say as a student, a visitor, or on some other temporary status.
How do you get a green card if im illegal?
You cannot get a greencard if you are illegal. You will have to leave the US and return to your native country and apply for a visa. You will be barred from entering the US for 10 years since you are here illegally. If you entered the US as a child and were unaware of your illegal entry at that time, you are expected to return to your native country when you turn 18 and then apply for legal entry to the US.
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

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.

Can you attend college in the US without a green card?
To study in the US you will need the F-1 student visa or M-1 as in the case of a vocational student. As long as it takes the student to finish his or her course of study the F1 visa is valid. An F1 visa also allows students to work on campus and in some situations even off campus. After the completion of their academic program, in addition, F1 visa students are eligible to apply for employment-authorized practical training. This training is usually limited to twelve months but may be extended to as much as 29 months for students who are pursuing a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics. F1 visa students are able to transfer schools and change their focus of study while pursuing a degree in the U.S. Once they have completed their course of study or practical training (if applicable), they have sixty days in which to depart the U.S.
