To be a valid marriage, the parties must live together. If you are thinking of marrying an illegal alien, be prepared to live for at least one year and perhaps ten or more years, in the illegal alien's country of citizenship prior to being able to file a petition for a spousal visa and for temporary residence.
If you are the illegal alien, go home promptly, before you are caught and deported and barred from re-entry. Then apply for your spouse/intended spouse to immigrate to your country.Is it true if an illegal alien marries a citizen, they become a citizen?
yup, they gotta pay a lot of fees, submit a ton of forms and go to plenty of interviews...after all that, they are able to become a citizen!Is it true if an illegal alien marries a citizen, they become a citizen?
Of course you can, but first Green card and later (5 or 7 years) citizen)
If you came over here with visa (tourist, for example) you can became green card,
FALSE. Marriage alone does not make an illegal legal. The illegal alien must go through the same arduous process like everyone else, if not more so because sh/he is an illegal.
It is absolutely not true.
Marriage NEVER bestows instant citizenship in the US, even when going through 100% legal channels.
The first step after getting married is to get a green card, even if you're legal.
In the case of illegals, they would have a very hard time adjusting their status from illegal immigrant to permanent resident (i.e. green card).
No. They would still have to apply for citizenship. Clearly @rt Kyozaki doesn't have a clue.
I think it's funny how everyone says ';absolutely NOT true';
Did you know there are 2 million ';mixed status'; couples and familes in this country?? Including several military families.. this started to come out from the shadows when the citizen half of a ';mixed status'; couple was not allowed their tax stimulus check and some military families were outraged that just becuase they married a foriegn national without a valid SS# yet that they were not allowed their stimulus after serving the country..
Anyway, this idea of ';instant'; citizenship is not true at all
The process takes several years, thousands of dollars, a waiver packet inches thick that takes months to prepare (like a huge term paper), lots of stress, and lots of uncertainties.. I could rattle off dozens of sad stories of those who thought they would be elgible and weren't .. for example a couple where the husband was made to use a fake identity to enter when he was a minor - he is facing a lifetime ban with no waiver - he didn't do it his parents did. I know at least 10 other couples where the parents EWI (entered without inspection) more than once also with the child.. creating a LIFETIME ban with NO waiver for 10 years..
Most illegal immigrants face a 10 year ban which is waivable by the marriage to the U.S. citizen.. in all countries but Mexico it takes a year or more to process and see if your case is approved or denied.. meanwhile the families are broken up or the spouse and children who are CITIZENS must try adjusting to another country and lose their jobs, education, and lives. In Mexico there is the pilot program where clearly approvable cases can be issued a visa on the same day - however a large amount of cases are still ';backlogged'; taking the year amount or more.. thousands of families get stuck in ';name checks'; because they have a common name like Jose Gomez and someone with their name and DOB committed crimes and they can be stuck for YEARS while the government makes sure it's not them - something that can be quickly done with fingerprints but for some reason the families are made to wait for months or years ..
Once FINALLY in the U.S. if you are intelligent enough to have put together an approvable waiver packet (not an easy task - and lawyers? Forget about it! Never heard of this waiver process? Neither have most immigration lawyers. Immigraiton lawyers are rarely educated in all areas of immigration law and lawyers that can prepare waiver packets are VERY VERY rare - many people pay thousands of dollars $10k or more for a poorly prepared packet that looks like a high schoolers book report..) so if you get approved it still takes several more years to apply for citizenship and during those years the couples live in fear because PR can still be deported.. for example if someone breaks in your home and there is a scuffle between the PR husband and the intruder - he is at risk for being deported - they will often deport PR even if they were never officially charged with any violent crime ! Suspicion is enough.. they are US immigration they can do whatever they want..
IF YOU ARE SOMEONE ILLEGAL WISHING TO ADJUST - I hope I did not scare you off - I was not sure if you are an opposer or not - this process is hard and long as I outlined above but it's possible and its pretty much the only way.. come check out www.immigrate2us.net its a community for us to get help with the process and moral support..
No,not true.
It's not instant, you still have to apply for it and go through a process like everyone else.
Yes it is true. It's not as easy as it used to be. There is a process to weed out the majority.
no true
false. marriage = no legal status for illegal aliens.
1.) you still have to go back to your country. 2.) your mate need file the petition to bring you here legally.
3.) after 3 years with your green card you need to apply for US citizenship.
thats true
