Immigration Tips
There are several types of immigrant and nonimmigrant
visas to visit or live in the United States. Some of the available
visas are B-2 tourist visitor Visa, B-1 visa for
business visitors and F-1 student
visa. Eligible aliens may obtain a
green card
and become permanent residents of the
U.S., through relatives, employment, marriage, adoption, investment.
You can sponsor your family and spouse so they can become legal
residents of the U.S. and eventually become a
U.S.
citizen. If you are a U.S. citizen you have the right to obtain
a
U.S. Passport
and receive many advantages by traveling
with an American passport.
Every year thousands of Americans get married
with non U.S. citizens and they have to
go through the process of petition to bring their new wife or
husband to the U.S. To be able to get an immigrant visa for
your spouse from outside of the U.S. you must file a petition, have an appointment with a consul in the
nearest U.S. Consulate, fulfill all eligibility requirements, then
the foreign national could receive a conditional temporary resident
status that allows him to travel, work and live in the United
States, if the couple have been married for 2 or more years then the
green card will be permanent. In some cases if the marriage occurs inside the
U.S., the non-citizen may be able to adjust his immigration status from a tourist
visa or other non-immigrant visa to an immigrant visa that will
allow him to stay and live in the U.S. The U.S. government
has several rules and steps that must be fulfilled. The
immigration aspects of the marriage to a United States citizen can
be complex an it is better to obtain Legal Advice and
ask your questions
to a U.S. Immigration Lawyer. To obtain a green card, the
husband or wife must first be accepted on a temporary resident
status "Temporary evidence of Lawful admission for permanent
residence" until the USCIS can determine that the marriage is valid
and grant a
permanent resident
card
(green card). If a foreign national husband/wife
married to a U.S. citizen becomes a U.S. green card holder
(permanent resident), then he or she must wait a few years before
being eligible to apply for the
citizenship of the United States. If the spouse gets divorced
before applying for the citizenship, then must wait five years from
the date of becoming a permanent resident to be eligible to apply for the United States
citizenship, but if they are still married then the green card
holder can apply for the citizenship after 3 years of becoming a
permanent resident. There are several requirements to keep a green card
valid and to obtain
the
citizenship.
If a green card holder moves out of the united states to live in a
foreign country it is very possible that he will loose his green
card, especially because the green card is an immigration status
designed for people to immigrate to the US, to permanently live in the U.S., and
if the person moves to another country then his status changes from
an immigrant to a non-immigrant alien, with a few exceptions of
temporary travel and the application to Preserve Residence or
Re-entry permit to keep the permanent resident status. Besides several requirements, the USCIS reviews
and requests dates of your U.S. physical
presence during the years that you were a us resident. Applicants for the citizenship must
pass the citizenship test with civic questions and an English test,
and for males that became residents before 26 years old, they must
have been registered with the Selective Service System of the United States
during ages 18 through 25 years old. Before processing and submitting your case to the
United States Immigration Department or consulate, it is recommended to consult
with a U.S. Lawyer first. There are several immigration laws, rules,
types of applications and immigration status that could apply to
you, there are several eligibility requirements. It is
important to make sure you are submitting the right application
together with the proper U.S.
Immigration forms.
Green Card and Marriage is one of the most common immigration topics
