Immigration

Joran Van Der Sloot is alive and well, living in or around Meuang Ake, Pathum Thani, Thailand. He, until recently, was living in a decent sized house, but his landlord recently kicked him out. I'm not sure where he is living right now, though he's still in the area.

I saw him in a local restaurant, amazingly with a young blonde western girlfriend in tow. He introduced himself as Joran Van Der Sloot, no shyness about it at all. I was stunned to actually run into him at all, much less with a girl who looked so much like Natalee Holloway. He is fairly well known by the people in the area, and as far as I know is not working a full time job. Not sure how he supports himself.

This context was taken out of context from a financial lawyer There is no immigration law, statute, or regulation that specifically forbids individuals who have filed for bankruptcy from applying for Naturalization. Additionally, there is no specific question on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, inquiring into bankruptcy. However, there are two questions on the Form N-400 that may indirectly relate to bankruptcy. Those questions are found in Part 10, Section A, questions 4 and 5. Question 4 reads: "since becoming a lawful permanent resident, have you ever failed to file a required Federal, state, or local tax return?" and question 5 reads "do you owe any Federal, state or local taxes that are overdue." If you answer yes to either of these questions, you will need to provide a specific explanation as to why you answered yes and provide supporting documentation. It is important to note that just because a person files for bankruptcy does not necessarily mean that they failed to pay taxes or owe taxes that are overdue. Another issue may be that the Service may view filing for bankruptcy as evidencing poor moral character, especially if such a filing occurs within the five year period immediately preceding the filing of the naturalization application. Pursuant to Immigration and Nationality Act section 324(b), the Naturalization process requires that you prove good moral character for a period of not less than five years immediately preceding the date of filing an application for naturalization and up to the time of admission to citizenship. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security evaluates claims of good moral character on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the immigration laws and the standards of the average citizen in the community of residence. 8 Code of Federal Regulations ("8 C.F.R.") § 316.10(a)(2). Furthermore, bad acts, such as willfully failing or refusing to pay child support, evidences poor moral character. 8 C.F.R. § 316.10(b)(3). As such, the Service, in its wide discretion, may deem filing for bankruptcy as evidencing poor moral character, depending on the circumstances.

It is quite unlawful for a President to give asylum to any immigrant he chooses.

That is what Pres. Obama did recently for a whole bunch of illegal immigrants, and now Congress is about to do something about it.

You can enter Dubai for 3 months from most countries without a visa, for citizens of some countries you will require visa on arrival.

Entering to work is another matter, you need a work visa issued by your new employer.

Yes you can. Typically, Canada will offer a work visa on the presumption that your employer needs you there for a job a Canadian can't do, which is often the case with international billeting of employees.

"Renewals L-1 status may be renewed and extended within the United States. Except in the case of blanket petitions, a new I-129 petition must be filed. Renewal in the United States applies to status only, not the actual visa in the passport. For visa renewal, the applicant must go to a U.S. consulate or embassy outside the United States. An alien cannot leave the United States and then reenter without a valid L-1 visa, and must appear personally before a consular officer for visa issuance. This often leads to difficulties for applicants, because it means leaving their adopted home in the United States for as long as it takes the embassy to issue their new visa. In particularly busy times of year, or at some consulates or embassies, this can take several weeks or more." (wikipedia) If anything, don't wait to get it renewed, just go and talk to someone or call the USCIS and ask, you don't want to ever ever extend/have your visit expire, it's not a fun process to go through.

The United States Government does not recognized "dual citizenship". The government puts people in 2 categories: 1. U.S. citzens 2. Aliens

I think it just depends who it is if it's some people that went doi g good things I don't think they should be allowed to be citizens, but if it's like a single who mother who just wants her child to have a better future and hasnt even done anything wrong over then over staying, I think those kind of people should be give a chance.

I believe that is an immigration form. It may be the biographical information form if my memory serves me correctly. G-325A is indeed the Biographic form that is used in conjunction with a I-130 petition for a spouse as beneficiary. The form asks for specific information on both the beneficiary and the petitioner. G-325 is for everyone else but a spouse.

It's not an easy task but there are ways to sponsor your spouse. First of ask around other immigrants, they probably know of places that can help you know where to start. There are people out there who dedicate much of their time to helping immigrants gain citizenship. There isn't much help on the Immigration website and much of the information is outdated. So I think your best bet is to talk to people and ask around. And plan on spending a few thousand dollars! Good Luck!

Yes if the citizen is the biological father of the minor child. The status of the foreign national person is not relevant when the issue is child support.

However, the undocumented immigrant will be required to report their status to USCIS and follow the procedures that are required by U.S. immigration laws. A person who is within the jurisdiction of the U.S. is, regardless of the situation may be subject to deportation and/or imprisonment.

The short answer appears to be no, as the Czech republic asks for a renunciation of your previous citizenship when you are applying for Czech citizenship. There are some exceptions to this:

- the country of which you are currently a citizen will not let you renounce your citizenship

- the country of which you are a citizen does not issue certificates affirming/asserting renunciation (so you cannot provide proof of the renunciation)

- renouncing your current citizenship would put you in physical danger

As for the other way around, if you are a Czech citizen and you are voluntarily naturalized, you forfeit your citizenship. If, however, you acquire citizenship through being born in a country, or through marriage, it seems as though you could actually be a dual citizen.

There are supposedly numerous people who have not notified the Czech authorities of their new status as citizens in other countries and have retained their Czech passport, so they are (at least for a time) de factor if not de jure dual citizens.

You dont. Visas must be renewed outside the U.S.- at the U.S. consulate/embassy.

YES! Because the wife was legally wed in the U.S. and that makes her a citizen of the United States. It is still legit even if they divorce.

yes the USA Established the quotas to keep the number of immagrants down

File for custodial rights in the appropriate state court in the city or county of residence. Be advised that the mother's illegal status is irrelevant in custodial proceedings as US law presumes both biological parents have equal rights to a child until a court rules otherwise. Furthermore, if the couple were not married the law presumes the mother (illegal or not) retains full custodial rights to the child until the father establishes paternity, files suit for parental rights and a ruling is made by the court.

Immigration was determined by quotas.

uhh, immigration. but i don't see why you'd want to narc someone out like that.

It's fine if you believe you should and you'd be in the right as a citizen, however, think the person getting across has risked there life escaping a highly likely war torn country, so morally, would you?
