I believe that anyone can change his/her name (first or last) whenever he/she wishes to do so. You just have to apply for it and follow or requirements.
No, marrying a U.S. citizen does not automatically convey permanent residency or citizenship. The proper procedures for obtaining resident status will need to be followed by the non-citizen, the issue of a criminal record may play a significant part in a decision by the USICS. (www.usics.gov)
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 can you report someone with an expired student visa?
did they do something wrong? If not, don't report them.
Besides, learn how to phrase a question. "Illegal immigrant expired visa" means there is such a thing as a visa for illegal immigrants. What I think you meant to ask was, how do you report an illegal immigrant who has an expired visa.
What should be done to stop immigration problem?
This is a matter of opinion, but I believe that if we made third world countries more liveable by taking on an imperialist complex and building roads, schools, and hospitals. If they had basic needs met, and we could ensure that the government is stable, we could eventually bring American companies to invest in the cheap labor- thus providing jobs and a stable economy
Another perspective:The way to stop the immigration problem is to enforce the law. There are many laws that are not being enforced that are on the books. Enforce the laws on businesses that hire illegals without following the proper legal procedures. Make it the same fine and punishment to hire illegal aliens off the street corner as it is to pick up a prostitute. Make it the death penalty, for any illegal alien that murders or brutally rape's a citizen in the United States. Make it a regulation that lethal force should be used along the borders, in order to protect our Border Officers from being wounded, murdered or have charges brought against them for protecting themselves. Make it a regulation that any illegal immigrant that is caught in the United States has all money property and accounts in the United States frozen and or confiscated if it is found that they are indeed illegal. As with any thing in human life if the consequences are enforced and publicized, less and less people will break them. Another perspective (a more modest proposal):Perhaps a combination of nation building and enforcement of laws at home are the answer. If "home" is an attractive place to be, there is no reason to leave it. However, the US was built on immigration, so the process of immigration and naturalization must be more efficacious.The laws we currently have in place are sufficient to prevent the flood of illegal immigration, provided the laws are enforced. This means that those who enforce the laws must have sufficient resources to do so. This is currently just not the case. Draconian rules are not the answer. Such knee jerk reactions are what lead to other conflictual issues.
In a nutshell, fix what is broken.
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.

Why is it not easy to get US visa?
Because there is a great demand to travel to the U.S., and most people are unable to show, to the satisfaction of USCIS, that they would return to their home county. The USCIS PRESUMES that all applicants DO NOT intend to return home, so the applicant has the burden of proof. Work visa are really only allowed if you are already highly educated (i.e. college graduate) which further limits the pool of eligible applicants.

An overstay man marry with permanent residence can file for his status?
A resident cannot ask for someone trying to gain residency, married or not. If the permanent resident becomes a citizen, then yes, they can request residensy for their spouse.
First, seek an immigration attorney. Most of the ethnic attorneys practice immigration law.
If you entered without inspection (illegal border crossing), you are out of luck. You need what's called INA 245(i). Last president who allowed 245(i) was Clinton. Before he left office, 245(i) were activated. So that EWIs(Entry without inspection) could get greencard if they get a job that sponsors them or get married to a citizen. But not now. 245(i) is not active now.
Currently President Bush said that no one who entered illegally will get a greencard. So, if you entered illegally without CIS inspection, you have to wait until Bush leaves the office and then hopefully, Congress will revive 245(i). Republican party has not been very friendly to foreigners. Yes, President allowed seasonal workers but that's very limited, and they don't get greencards. So you have to wait.
But.... If you came to US with a proper visa and entered after proper inspection, (that is if CIS officer stapled a piece of white paper called I-94 in your passport), then you have entered properly. If you entered properly, and over-stayed, you are illegally staying. If you are "illegal alien" in that sense, no problem. You can get married now to a citizen and get a greencard. After three years of having greencard, you can apply for a citizenship too.
I should think whether or not citizen is an ex-felon would not matter. Citizenship and Immigraion Service(CIS) requires only a proof of citizenship. Such include a US passport, a birth certificate in US, or a naturalization certificate. Fingerprinting or criminal records are not required for the citizen. But those things are required for the alien. But my knowledge about an ex-felon's rights as a citizen is limited, you should ask an immigration attorney or call CIS customer service. 1 800 375-5283
Call a few times, the customer service is known to give different answers.

Are US citizens being paid by immigrants to marry them for citizenship?
Marrying a foreign national for the sole of purpose of the person obtaining permanent resident status or becoming a citizen is illegal. It is a violation of federal law and punishable by fines and imprisonment for both parties. In addition the foreign national will be deported after serving his or her sentence and will not be allowed to ever reenter the U.S. Furthermore, it is a misconception that marriage of a foreign national to a U.S. citizen guarantees permanent resident status or citizenship, it does not. It does however place a higher priority level on the person's application for residency and/or citizenship.
