You married an illegal immigrant Does he have to leave the US?

I believe you used to be able to marry an illegal immigrant and they would not have to leave but with the changes in federal laws for national securit I believe that has changed now and they would have to apply for citizenship like everyone else

How do illegals become citizens?

They can't. That said, if the alien has a way of getting a green card now, like a resident relative, there may be ways to keep him here while the paperwork goes thru. If they don't have any means of getting a green card despite their being illegal, then they cannot become citizens or residents, period. Maybe through an amnesty.

It MAY be possible, though attempting poses considerable risk of being deported.

there are 2 ways to become a legal.

first,it is hard to become citizen for a illegal person. but they have a chance to do it. first of all that person's status must br convert in to the F1 visa status and get a admission in a good college or university. in order to do that you must have to Jamaica for reinstatement process. once you are in in status, get a admission in college. after your college you apply for opt then H1 visa. then you go for green card and finally citizenship. these steps might looks easy and short. but i am sorry to say that it is not. it is really long process.

i know how one fill being a illegal that's why i am sharing this information.

Second,the most easiest way to become a ligel is find and citizen girl or boy and marry to them. by this way, you will become citizen in short period of time.

If you are asking about the following case:

  1. You are in the country (USA) illegally
  2. You wish to get a green card WITHOUT leaving the country

This is NOT possible UNLESS you can successfully apply for asylum, which is based on the expectation of political or religious persecution in your home country, and is not simple to do. ALL other routes to a green card require that the applicant at some point during the process apply FROM THEIR HOME COUNTRY. That is, even by marrying a U.S. citizen, the paperwork requires that the non-citizen apply at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in their Home Country. There is no way to remain inside the U.S. and become a legal resident.

Note that this is true for the vast majority of legal US Visas, too. That is, most visas are of a Temporary nature, and are what is called "Non-convertible". That is, once you are admitted into the US on a certain visa, you cannot then later "convert" this visa into another by applying for that visa WITHOUT returning to your home country first. Only a specific few types of visa will allow you to remain inside the US and be converted to another one.

Can green card holder sponsor parent?

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

Can green cards be taken away?

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)

Can you apply for a fiance visa for an illegal immigrant spouse?

NO! If you could do that then every Mexican with an American girlfirend would be legal. We are all hiding out and waiting for some kind of immigration reform that will give them some kind of chance at legal status. If you file those papers while he is here illegally, you might as well kiss him goodbye.

Deportation time frame?

The time frame for a deportation varies on a case by case basis. Deportation on arrival can be done within a few days, while deportation for those already living in the country may take months or years.

How long before a foreign bride can divorce her husband and retain citizenship?

If you are already a citizen, your citizenship will be retained even if you get a divorce. If you are asking, "How long before a foreign bride can divorce her husband and obtain citizenship?", then the answer is not certain. It depends if you are currently a permanent resident or not. You can check more details at www.ezvisa.us

How long after marrying a citizen and becoming a citizen can that person remarry an illegal alien?

The issue of divorce may in fact be irrelevant.

The USCIS/ICE is no longer recognizing all marriages between unlawfully present foreign nationals and US citizens as valid.

When the foreign national applies for citizenship immigration officials will do an in depth investigation as to the legality of the marriage.

If it is found that the union took place for the sole purpose of the foreign national to gain permanent residency or citizenship, both parties can be charged with a federal felony.

The penalty to all involved parties for being convicted of entering into a fraudulent marriage is a maximum of 5 years in a federal facility and a $250,000 fine. The convicted illegal immigrant will be deported to his or her country of origin and permanently barred from reentry into the US. The US citizen will have a permanent criminal record of having commited a felony offense.

That aside, naturalized citizenship can be revoked (denaturalized) at any time for many reasons including the divorce of a citizen spouse, therefore a time limit does not really matter.

Why the US decided to limit immigration in 1921?

The Immigration Act of 1924 limited the number of people who could immigrate to the United States. It set the quota for any country to be 2 percent of the number of people already from that country who were living in the U.S.

How do asylum seekers get here?

Most often illegal immigrants and refugees come to Australia by boat from Indonesia. These travellers are commonly called "boat people". There has been much controversy in recent years both about the bringing of people and the treatment of these people by the Australian government. The stories are heavily sensationalised in the Australian press and Australia has come under international criticism for the way in which illegal immigrants have been detained whilst their applications for refugee status have been processed.

Additionally unknown numbers of people die each year trying to make the crossing in unsuitable, overloaded vessels. Its a dangerous, long journey where the arrival points in North Western Australia are some of the most inhospitable country in the world.

Why do so many Mexicans enter the US illegally?

Mexico shares the southern border of the United States, which gives Mexicans a way to enter the United States. They come here for better jobs or other reasons, and the U.S. politicians do not enforce the immigration laws, allowing them to remain in the country illegally.

Though the border with Canada is much longer, Canadians are content to stay in Canada. Immigrating to the U.S. illegally from countries other than Mexico or Canada would be much harder, since they would have to fly or boat in.

Do illegal aliens receive free medical services?

Answer:

No, illegal immigrants do not get welfare benefits, nor ANY government benefit.

Answer:

This is not entirely true. Hospitals are required by The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) to provide emergency treatment to anyone in need, regardless of citizenship status.

Also, the Supreme Court ruled in Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982) that the state cannot refuse funding to educate children of illegal aliens.

Illegal aliens who give birth in the U.S. become parents to U.S. citizens, which provides access a wide range of welfare benefits, such as cash payments, food stamps, Medicaid, free school lunch, head start, childcare credits, public housing, etc. Aliens granted amnesty are likewise eligible for benefits.

Can a legal resident apply for citizenship for their sibling?

No, not citizenship, but a legal resident can petition a sibling for legal residency- but the sibling will have to wait in their home country many years (anywhere from 10-20 years)before being allowed legal entry in the U.S. Since you mention a legal resident, a legal resident can only petition a sibling if the sibling is SINGLE. If the sibling is married then you CANNOT file such a petition. If the sibling is single when you file the petition but subsequently gets married, you are required to inform the U.S. government- which would result in the petition being automatically VOIDED. If you know this and do not tell the government- then this would be considered fraud- putting your own legal residency and potential residency of the sibling at risk.

What changes to immigration have occurred since the 1950?

Immigration into the United States has varied massively in the last 100 years, for much of the 19th and early 20th centuries there was a large influx of immigrants from the European countries, especially Ireland, Italy, Germany, the Scandinavian countries Poland and Russia. Pre and Post WW2 there was another huge influx from the central European countries, with a larger increase in Mexican and Central/South American migration. With the new Millennium the largest immigration base is from Hispanic countries to the south of the United States, including Mexico.

Can the president ban immigration?

The President can not directly change any laws. He can ask Congress to change a law. However, he has a great deal of leeway in how a law is enforced. He can order the Department of Justice to selectively enforce a law or even not to enforce it. This idea of selectively enforcing laws is not a power given by the Constitution. He could be impeached for it. He has to be careful to pick laws that are unpopular or likely to be changed or declared unconstitutional.

What is the importance of immigration to the development of the United States?

Immigration gives the United States an economic edge in the world economy. Immigrants bring innovative ideas and entrepreneurial spirit to the U.S. economy. They provide business contacts to other markets, enhancing America's ability to trade and invest profitably in the global economy. They keep economy flexible, allowing U.S. producers to keep prices down and to respond to changing consumer demands. Contrary to popular myth, immigrants do not push Americans out of jobs. Immigrants tend to fill jobs that Americans cannot or will not fill, mostly at the high and low ends of the skill spectrum.
