Green Cards

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

i dont know ask the green card holder he is my uncle here is his number 9186658563

Yes, "green card" is the slang term, "permanent residency card" is the official name.

if you are pregnant can you breing your husband with a green card

This depends on what is your status right now. Are you in US with some kind of visa or in your own country.

If you are in other country, then you should take some visa say tourist, H1B, B1 etc which ever is possible for you. Reach there get married to a US citizen and then apply for Green Card, which will give you legal permanent resident-ship. After that you can apply for citizenship through naturalization.

If you are in USA and want to be Green card holder take services of USAFIS, it can help in making the application process simpler and will guide you through out the process so that you will have a better chance of getting the Green Card.

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.

It depends on the following:

1.The closer the relation to the petitioner the earlier the visa availability.

2.The state where the petition is filed. Lesser the number of applications the faster the processing.

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.

You are supposed to stay for 90 days in the USA in order to get a green card.

It is noty too difficult. A specialist immigration lawyer can help but if you do not want to spend that sort of money, your local INS office can help. It is also possible online but she will have to have the medical and fingerprinting.

If you are a conditional resident 90 days before it expires you need to adjust status and get the green card with 10 years validity. Permanent lawful resident can stay as long as they want provided they renew their green card which is valid only for 10 years.

That depends on where the I-90 (the form for a replacement card) is filed. You can see processing times here: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp.

Green card is enough as ID but its better to get a ID(either driver license or ID from MVA) to carry around as you do not want to carry around your green card just in case. Yes its good as ID

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.

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.

No, domestic violence is considered a felony that is punishable by incarceration. In addition, people who commit domestic violence are usually people who lack self-control, and could very well exhibit violent behavior in other ways as well. If a person is arrested for domestic violence once they have been allowed to enter the country, they risk deportation.

It's not that easy. You should consult with a good immigration attorney, or an immigration aid center.

If you are already not legal, the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) takes a dim view of you all of a sudden wanting to marry an American. And there are waivers that will be needed - and they might not be granted.

They'll also want to interview you and the prospective bride. And they'll have all kinds of questions that they'll ask you each seperately to see if you really know and love each other. It can be quite...intense.

I wish you well. But seek aid from that attorney or immigration aid center.

Yes,the green card holders can get a divorce even if they are married in India. The only requirement is you should be resident of the same county for the last 6 months. You do not even have to be a green card holder for this purpose. However this divorce may not be a accepted by the courts in India and you may have to get it validated again in India. Hope it helps. I LEAVE IN USA LAST 4YEARS WE CAME WITH LEGAL IMMIGRANT WE HAVE INDIAN PASS PORT WE MARRIDGE IN INDIA NOW MY HUSBAND LAST 1 MONTH SEPARAT LEAVING WITH ME AND HE TOLD ME I AM NOT LEAVE WITH YOU GIVE ME DIVORCE SO WHAT CAN I DO PLEASE GIVE ME ADVISE

My guess would be you would have to repeat the whole process over again and it's getting harder to get a green card now. You should really ask an immigration attorney. It's not free, but at visanow.com, you can talk to an immigration attorney online, its cheaper than in an office. I found this information, it may be helpful. Keeping Your Green Card After You Get It Follow these rules and you won't lose your status as a permanent resident of the U.S. Once you receive a green card, you must meet a few conditions if you want to keep it for life. For one thing, you must not violate certain criminal or immigration laws -- including one law that requires you to advise the immigration authorities within ten days if you change addresses. For another, you must not abandon the United States as your permanent residence. For detailed information on protecting and making the most of your status as a permanent resident, see U.S. Immigration Made Easy, by Ilona Bray, J.D. The most common way that people lose their right to a green card is by committing a crime. Unlike what is commonly believed, it doesn't have to be a major crime or a felony. For example, a person can be deported for helping someone enter the United States illegally, for committing domestic violence, for possessing even a small amount of drugs, or for any crime that's considered morally wrong (such as fraud, theft, a crime with the intent of doing great bodily harm, or a sex offense). Some of these crimes are misdemeanors that may not be punishable with time in jail. However, there is no set list that tells you which crimes make you deportable. If you are arrested for anything at all, consult not only a criminal lawyer, but also an immigration lawyer to find out whether and how you can avoid deportation. Very few criminal lawyers understand the immigration laws -- and many of them encourage you to plead guilty to something as a way of avoiding jail time, not realizing that your guilty plea may get you deported. In addition, a person can be deported for certain violations that don't fall under the criminal laws. For example, if U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) discovers that you got your green card through a fraudulent (sham) marriage, or any other type of fraud, you can be deported. An immigrant can even be deported for failing to advise USCIS of a change of address within ten days of moving. In the past, USCIS almost never did anything about this. However, with increased security concerns, USCIS has begun using this rule against people it wishes to remove from the United States. You can now use USCIS's online service to notify it of your change of address If you hold a green card and know in advance that you must be outside the United States for more than one year, it's worth applying to USCIS for a reentry permit. This lets you to stay away for up to two years. You should send in your application before leaving. Use Form I-131, available on the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov). Your reentry permit will serve as an entry document when you are ready to return. Reentry permits cannot be renewed and can be applied for only inside the United States. If you want to stay away for more than two years, you must return briefly and apply for another reentry permit. File for Citizenship to Avoid These Problems You can lower the chances of losing your residence in the United States by applying for citizenship as soon as you are eligible. The waiting time for eligibility is usually five years after you get a green card, but there are exceptions: For example, the wait essentially drops to four years if you received political asylum (because your first year as an asylee counts), and to three years if, at the time you got your green card, you were married to a U.S. citizen and you're still married and living together. For more information about qualifying for citizenship, see the article Applying for U.S. Citizenship and Becoming a U.S. Citizen: A Guide to the Law, Exam & Interview, by Ilona Bray, J.D.

To obtain a green card there are many ways: through employment(using immigration Form I-140), a family member(using immigration Form I-130) or marriage. You must be sponsored by a family member in the U.S. in order to apply for a Family-Based Green Card. To apply for an Employment-Based Green Card, a foreign applicant must be sponsored by a qualifying U.S. employer.

Filing Fee is $420 for Form I-130 and filing Fee is $580 for Form I-140.

you can. However it will take 5-6 years to obtain, so you need to update the pending application once you get citizenship.

The green card is one which would officially change the status of an immigrant to a Permanent United States Resident. The card is basically known as the United States Permanent Resident card but is commonly known as green card for the reasons of its color that it had previously had. The card serves as an identification for immigrants which would relate their identity as US resident. It looks like a drivers license, complete with photograph. The documentation is issued by the INS (now called the Department of Homeland Security).
