Green Cards

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.

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.

pretty sure it does No, marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically confer permanent residence status nor the assurance of being granted citizenship to a foreign national. It will change the priority level assigned to the foreign spouse's application for citizenship. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov

It depends on your current age and the age at which you entered the USA. If you were in the US most of your life and in US schools most of your life then, NO you do not have to take the test. I do not know the cut-off age though.

there is no green card used in soccer. However in field hockey a green triangle represents a warning.

Bipolar disorder will not prevent someone from getting a green card. Federal law prohibits discrimination against those with disabilities or illnesses.

If you have conditional residency, you need to file for removal of condition during the 90-day period immediately preceding the expiration of your card. You must file by mail with the immigration Service Center that has jurisdiction over you: Texas, California, Nebraska, or Vermont, depending on where you live. Processing times are different depending on the Service Center. As of 1/27/06, the Service Centers are processing removal of condition applications submitted on: California: June 29, 2005 Nebraska: September 22, 2005 Texas: November 16, 2005 Vermont: June 1, 2005

my brother applied for my mom. since mom was in the US already (on a visitor's visa), he applied for both petition (for alien relative) and adjustment of status at the same time. if mom was not in US, he'd apply for the petition first, then adjustment of status once petition has been approved. 2 months later, he got a letter for her to go take her fingerprints (biometrics appointment). 5 months after that, he got a letter that she'd be interviewed in a couple months. so...in total, it took 9 months from the time uscis received the application, to the date of the greencard interview. but it may take 10-12 months total when mom finally receives the greencard itself in the mail. btw, it probably helped that my brother's in the military, and that mom has lived in a US territory (effectively making her a US resident, sorta) for the past 40 years. so i really don't know if that helped speed up her application process.

If the legal process can be completed prior to the expiration of the green card, yes. However, NOT having the process completed will NOT ensure the green card holder their stay will be extended.

Marriage Fraud is a Federal Crime with maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine up to $250,000. It is a felony and anyone convicted of this crime is considered a convicted felon.

If you check many website (including officia)- then they say US green card holder don't need visa

to visit Dominican republic. But at small print somewhere - they say that it still

required for some countries like china/India.

eg http://dominican-republic.visahq.com/requirements/India/resident-United_States/

http://www.domrep.org/faqconsular.HTML (official site which is vague)

But on calling (after lots of attempts) DR embassy in Washington - they said it

was not an issue and the website was outdated.

You also don't have to pay tourist card(10$) - if you go by cruise.

The timeline for converting a H1B to a green card is 3-6 years. There are also expenses and fees associated with the process which can rach into the thousands of dollars.

The US citizen son can petition for parents's green card using Immigration Form I-130. Depending on the USCIS centre and US state where he is filing the time period varies from 6 months to 5 years or more depending on visa availability. If parents are outside US the son can opt for consular processing.
