Green Cards

No. If you are a green card holder for a minimum period of 5 years and above the age of 18 you need to file the immigration Form N-400 to file for citizenship processing and the process is called naturalization.

no u can not, only in adoption which also involve many steps.

The US citizen spouse needs to petition using Form I-130 for green card for the alien. While its being processed the applicant needs to hold legal status or can return to home country and continue using consular processing to get green card.

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 the Form I-131 travel document which is valid for 2 years. Also you can use the Form N-470 meanwhile to preserve residence for naturalization process.

No, howver if you are Citizen you may sponsor a parent

Yes. For any number of reasons. Getting it back is done via the INS/Federal Court system. The best option would be to consult an attorney who specializes in immigration law.

A further point of law..............If your documents are "taken away from you" by the U.S. Government, you are now ILLEGAL in the USA and are subject to being deported by the INS. In other words you are heading home.

>>>>>> YES!!!!!! Most people think that once they have a green card they are home free, ABSOLUTELY NOT. And at that point, you are officially ILLEGAL, but you can go to immigration court to appeal whatever it is that made you have you have your Green card revoked in the first place(violent crimes, sex offenses, crimes of moral turpitude, fradulent marriages, abandoning your residency by staying out of the US too long, etc)

yes you can =]

Yes while you were in US you had been petitioned for getting the green card you must be in US when it is issued. There is also the option of consular processing which is done while you are outside US.

Once the petition using Form I-130 is approved then the applicant can file for green card.

It is true that a green card is a permanent status that is issued in the U.S. It is not a visa to enter the U.S. However, technically, the green card itself may be processed and mailed while the foreigner is overseas. It is important to attend the green card interview in the U.S. and be approved. At the interview, the officer should approve permanent resident status and issue a notice of approval. After that point, the foreigner can travel abroad. That notice of approval may typically be used to reenter the U.S. while the actual green card is being physically processed.

It is important to note that although I am a licensed immigration attorney, the general information above should not be relied upon for any particular case. Individual advice is necessary.

Once you get a green card to become a US citizen you need to have had the green card with continuous physical presence in US for minimum period of 5 years and above the age of 18 years. Using the US immigration Form N-400 the naturalization process can be started end of which you will be given the citizenship certificate as proof that you are a US citizen.

of Course Green so the answer is green EASY!!!

Don't need to ask

No, you do not need a Green Card to go to Hawaii unless you are NOT a US Citizen. It is in the Union, not outside the country. It is the same as traveling from Wyoming to Colorado. If you are not a US Citizen you will need a Green Card- the same rules that apply to the mainland apply to Hawaii.

Yes, but his country of citizenship could choose to revoke his status depending on the country (or even jail him depending on why he chose to seek asylum in the first place) . He should be able to get back in the USA though without issue.

Before starting the green card process its important for the alien to first legalize status in US.The successful marriage could be an added advantage for this.Alien may file Form I-601 for this.Ample proofs and support documents are required for Form I-601 filing.

In the United States some of the inadmissible non-immigrant applicants and aliens who are not eligible to be admitted as an immigrant or adjust status in US must file Form I-601 in order to seek a waiver of certain grounds of inadmissibility. They must submit all 11 pages of the INS forms. The Filing Fee is $585.So once the alien becomes a legal resident of US the green card process could be done.

Go to INS website. They can answer many questions over the phone, or by e-mail.

Many couples are usually angry during a divorce and often forget the child's feelings in the midst of it all. It's healthier in most cases that the daughter see both of you. Just because your wife has a green card doesn't mean she isn't entitled to have partial custody of your daughter. You need to see a lawyer over this one to be sure everything is legal and decide what is fair for your child. Perhaps your wife can take your daughter, but under court order send the child to you during special holidays, summer vacations, etc. If you are not prepared to spend quality time with your daughter then it's best she stay with her mother and hopefully your wife will keep in touch with you regarding your daughter. If you are willing to put 100% into joint custody then you have every right as the father to a shared custody. Before a legal evaluation can be made, one important question needs to be addressed. Where it the child's citizenship status? Is the child a U.S. citizen, another country or dual citizenship status? The court first and foremost is concerned with the well-being of the child.

No. Assuming that there are no other legal impediments to your entering Canada, you could get into Canada. You could apply for permanent resident status - something you should do BEFORE you arrive in Canada. Being married to a Canadian citizen would probably be a big advantage. Getting Canadian citizenship is a whole other process. Before you can apply, you have to have lived in Canada for three years without interruption or, in some cases, for three of the last four years. If you meet all of the requirements, THEN you can become a Canadian citizen. Being married to a Canadian will help with that. But marrying a Canadian will NOT automatically make you a Canadian citizen.

I'm asking how do you renew an senior metro card? Please answer.

This assumes that you are a US citizen (otherwise you cant file a petition for your brother). Its about a 10 year wait, with the exceptions of the Philippines and Mexico where they average wait for a brother of a citizen (4th preference) is between 16-20 years.

I don't know what your situation is but perhaps you could simply ask to see their papers? Or I think immigration and naturalization papers are filed at state of county level. You could check into this.

Finally, you could check with the INS if you are suspicious. Be forewarned, however, that by doing so you could cause them a lot of legal trouble - like deportation for example...

I presume from your question that the US woman is about to marry a man who is in the US on a Fiance visa. She can marry that person within 90 days of his entry into the US. Also the marriage should be a genuine one and not for the sake of getting a green card. If it is a fake arrangement, then the fiance may be deported back and the US citizen may face legal problems.

You have been a permanent resident for 3 years or more and meet all eligibility requirements to file as a spouse of a U.S. citizen. See the "Spouses of U.S. Citizens" link under "Citizenship by Naturalization" to the left.

You have been a permanent resident for at least 5 years and meet all other eligibility requirements. See the "General Path to Naturalization" link under "Citizenship by Naturalization" to the left.

It is a lot more complex than just getting married. It takes several years and many appointments with the immigration office. There are a lot of factors that go into to play here. I do believe that you must apply from your home now and not if you are already in the USA.

Yes, you would need to pay U.S. taxes as a tax resident of the United States if you make $95K and up. For green card holders, tax residency begins on the first day the person is present in the United States as a green card holder and does not end until lawful permanent resident status has been formally abandoned.You must file Form 1040 as a resident alien, you cannot use 1040NR. You may use Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) and Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit) to reduce your tax liability in case you stay outside US and work according to treaties.
