Can immigrants adopt a us citizen child?

International adoptions are expensive and complicated and the applicants are subjected to an in depth investigation of their financial, living environment, moral character, etc. Given the circumstances cited in the question it could be considered an immoral as well as an illegal act by the adult wishing to adopt a child for the sole purpose of using the child to further his or her own welfare and immigration status.

What immigration and naturalization service form is used to apply to become a natuarilized citizen?

Form N-400 is the application that is used to get naturalized as a US citizen. For this, the applicant should first become a permanent resident ( Green card Holder) and should be above 18 yrs of age. Apart from this, they need to meet several other criteria also.

N-400 should be submitted with all the supporting documents and photographs at the ASC that has jurisdiction over their area.

Can a citizen child adopt his illegal parents?

No. The adoption process is only applied for someone 18 or older to adopt a minor (and rarely an adult, who must be a US legal resident/citizen).

What you may be thinking about is "family re-unification", a part of the 1965 immigration law that allows a citizen's family to apply for visas to be reunified in the US. However, the citizen must be 18 or older in order to start a family re-unification process. That is, the citizen child has no legal avenue to remove his or her parents' illegal status.


This is a common misunderstood concept that leads children of illegal parents to be misnamed "anchor babies", even though they have little actual ability to help their parents gain legal status. If the illegal parents are caught and deported, the only choices for the children are to join their parents in their country or origin, or stay in the US under foster care services without their parents. See the Elvira Arellano case where the illegal parent was deported and force to take her son, a US citizen, with her or leave him to foster care.

What are three different immigrant groups who settled in Ohio?

One group of immigrants were the Irish Catholics. They moved in to the United States especially during the time of the industrial boom and their Potato Famine. They filled a majority of factory work. Another group were the Chinese. The Chinese were discriminated against mainly in the west when getting jobs, causing a lack of jobs for the whites. This perturbed the whites, and caused them to segregate themselves from the Chinese and other races that were taking jobs. Acts were put in place to prevent Chinese and other immigrants from immigrating into the United States. Another group was the Latinos/Mexicans. They were moving into American mostly during the time of the baby boom in the 1950's. The largest group of postwar migrants were from Mexico, equaling to about 275,000 in 1950, and 444,000 in the 1960's. They moved mostly to La, El Paso, and Phoenix. Before WWII, they were living in rural reas, working on farms, but towards the 1960's they lived in urban areas, and worked in manufacturing. Once the reinstitution of the Bracero Program came about a plan was devised as a means of importing Mexican immigrants temporary. 4 million Mexicans when then deported duing Operation Wetback.

What is it like to be an immigrant?

Adjusting to the new environment in terms of culture, weather, and language, and able to make sufficient wage to cover basic costs of living such as shelter, food, etc. Of course, the administration for government services may also be different. This includes any application for government medical care, social insurance, etc.The other hardship, though more subtle, also challenges a lot of immigrants: the attitudes of native born towards them. The immigrants, if they rely on the social safety net just a bit too much, would be branded as unproductive, inferior and unworthy. On the other hand, if they happen to be competitive in the job market, they would be regarded as a threat of "stealing Americans' jobs". So either way, they are screwed.

Can an illegal immigrant get married to a us citizen?

Yes, they can, but there are alot of legalities involved with "legalising" the person in question. It used to be a quick way to citizenship, but two of my friends went through this in about 2001 (her: American from Detroit, MI, him: Canadian, from Windsor, ON) and they gave both of them a whole lot of trouble. It should be easier with time, however. * In the U.S. unlawfully present foreign nationals are allowed to marry a citizen or other non citizen, if they have the documentation required by the state in which they wish to marry. Because of the changes in national security regulations an "undocumented foreign national of illegal status" would not be able to enter into a legal marriage to a U.S. citizen, as they would have to supply a photo ID, a birth certificate, and a Social Security card (not just a SS#).

Can a us citizen go to a foreign country and marry a citizen in that country and bring them back to the us?

AnswerSomeone may correct this, but in my experience, no. I am in the paper process with my husband, and we are going to have to go to Mexico so he can get a waiver to come back, and this could take months, after the year or so wait for that part of the process to come around.

Answer .

It is a very broad question. What was the circumstances of their deportation. Were the charges administrative or criminal. Do the two of you have a child together. Their ary lots of things that come in to play in order to give you a reasonable answer.

ANSWER

OK. There is really no simple or easy answer to this question as the answer depends upon several different factors. First of all, how long ago was your loved one deported and for how long were they deported for? Another factor is, if your illegal love is currently in theU.S. during their active deportation ( example: my husband was given a 10 year deportation in Oct. 04, and by Jan. 05 was back in the country illegally, obviously within the restricted 10 years) and can in some way be tracked and proved in any way such as a traffic ticket, record of them working, getting married, etc. they will automatically be given a reinstatement of their current deportation with a general penalty of 5-10 more years tacked on. If your illegal love is currently in the USA I would recommend living very cautiously. DO NOT let some money-hungry immigration lawyer convince you that for x-amount of thousands of dollars your loved one can stay here. It's a lie. Let me tell you about my situation. I met my now husband in '03, he was deported for 10 years in '04 and came back within a month. We continued to live here in the states together until '06 when we went to his hometown and married. (One of the above-mentioned money-suckers actually told us that this is what we should do) I lived with him in Mexico for 6 months and then came home alone, to presumably get everything in order to bring home my husband. Yeah right. So now here comes the fun-pretty much the onlyway for anyone with a deportation to be considered for a visa is to be given a pardon for the deportation. Now, from what I understand from the SEVERAL immigration attorneys that I have been through, there really are no guidelines as to who actually gets pardoned and who doesn't. The only requisite states that the citizen must prove "extreme hardship" as a direct result of the absence of the deported spouse. However, the definition of "extreme hardship" has been yet to be known by any moron attorney. From what one of the more compassionate lawyers I came across explained to me usually the only cases that get granted involve the couple having a gravely ill child. Generally, this pardon is rarely granted and any decent attorney should tell you that instead of giving you false hope and taking your money. My advice is that if your loved one is already here, live as low-key as possible until the deportation time is served, and if by the grace of God you guys make it all the way through without it being documented that they were here during that time, then go to their country of origin and get married or go to a lawyer and pretend that they have been in their country this entire time and ask for a fiancé visa. When it comes time for their immigration interview they will have to return to their country with the risk of still being denied for the visa. Unfortunately until there is a change in our immigration processes the only other thing left to do is pray every moment of every day for some sort of decent immigration reform that will allow all of our broken families to live together in peace once and for all. But I am not holding my breath. By the way, in our case, after lots of money and many denials for the pardon, he reentered illegally and we were fine until Dec. '08 when he was the victim of a horrible armed carjacking/kidnapping, and unbelievably due to the horrendously racist part of the USA that we live in, my husband was taken to jail with his aggressor. (My husband was arrested simply for his illegal status) With the new twist that my husband was the victim of a violent crime and aided in the prosecution of the case against his attacker, yet another immigration attorney appeared with promises of visas and citizenship. $7,000 and 6 months later, my husband was back in Mexico with the reinstatement of his prior deportation and an extra 10 years for being in the USA during the original 10 year timeframe. Now he's there and I'm here. What now? It's too dangerous over there right now to even think us living down there. We're stuck. So as far as I can tell, under the current, very difficult policies and regulations, there is a VERY slim chance of you being able to get your loved one any kind of permission to legally be here in the USA with you until their deportation is over.

Can a Illegal Immigrant go to court and not get deported?

I am noticing it is not that easy to get someone deported because of expenses. Unless they have done some crime here in America, then it seems as though no one cares. * If the unlawfully present immigrant appears in a court of law regardless of the reason for him being there, authorities are required to take him into custody and remand him to immigration officials. Whether or not he will be deported depends upon if he qualifies as a refugee or asylee.
