Can a person with visit visa in USA marry a green card holder?
1) Yes. Many tourists get married in the U.S. My own daughter and her husband got married on Maui, Hawaii. Great destination for a honeymoon as well. 2) The I-130 takes 5 months to process. Once that's done, a priority date is being assigned and then the petition goes on ice until the priority date becomes current. As the spouse of a permanent resident, you are in the F2A preference category. The wait for that is about 2 years and 9 months after the I-130 has been approved. http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulleti... 3) You need to stay outside the U.S. You are not allowed to wait in the U.S. beyond the date on your I-94. Once your priority date has become current, the I-130 goes first to the National Visa Center and from there to the U.S. consulate in your home country. There you will have an interview and receive your immigrant visa to the U.S. 4) No.
If a marriage is annulled what happens to the green card holder?
Is the green card conditional or is it the 10 year green card? How long were they married for? The answer depends. There is too many scenarios to post here so here is the link to a great guide on Divorce or Death and its Effect on Immigration. http://www.familybasedimmigration.com/fo...
If I come to US on visit visa and I marry a green card holder, can I stay with my spouse and work in the US?
If you enter on a tourist/visit visa with the intention of marrying and remaining in the USA, you have entered the country under false pretenses (read: you lied). USCIS does not take kindly to that and it will complicate your application for permanent residency greatly.Now it is of course possible for people to meet and on a whim decide to get married while in the USA. USCIS will review the case and may accept the application for adjustment of status.You already have plans to get married, so this is not a valid option for you.You have 3 options:apply for a K1 (fiance visa) and get married within 90 days of entering the USAGet married outside the USA, then apply for CR1 (spouse)Marry in the USA as a tourist, leave as a tourist, then apply for CR1.
After a US green card holder files the petition for his wife, how long does it take for her to get into the US?
Your wife will fall under the F2 Family Preference category. If you are from Mexico, China, Philippines, or India the waiting time come to about 3-5 years. This is when you hold a PR for US.If you are a citizen, the wait is only upto 2 years.However, if you are really looking for ways that a spouse can legally, easily, quickly get in, I’d recommend you to check the EB-5 Visa. This is a route not many have heard of, but plenty of people from numerous countries choose to immigrate this way.Under the EB-5 Visa, after making an investment of $500,000 in the US and creating 10 new permanent jobs for American natives, you get your Green Card and become a legal permanent resident! Not to mention, you get a Green Card for your immediate family, too- your spouse and unmarried children below the age of 21. All of this happens within 2-2.5 years.As you can see, this is a much faster and reliable process. If you’d like to know more about the same, feel free to contact me. I’d be happy to help. :)
Can my boyfriend get a green card if we marry?
First off, the only one who can really answer this is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). You also may want to contact an immigration attorney, as they can answer this as well, and you are less likely to put him in danger of the government investigating. However, my understanding is that how he entered the country will affect it. If he once HAD a visa, you may be able to marry and file without him having to leave first. If he didn't, he will probably have to leave the country and then come back on a fiance visa. Hope this helps.. # All couples applying for green cards and marriage-based visas have personal interviews with U.S. immigration officials. The purpose of these interviews is to determine whether there is a legitimate relationship. Couples are asked about things such as how they met, who attended their wedding and each other's personal habits, and they may also be asked to provide proof of their relationship such as letters, phone bills showing calls to each other or photographs of vacations together. If fraud is suspected, the couples are subjected to more intense personal questioning in separate rooms, and their stories are examined for inconsistencies. Permanent Residency Through Fiancée Visa A US citizen, who is engaged to marry a foreign citizen, can apply for a fiancée visa (K1 Visa) for ninety days, provided that they actually marry within this period. No extensions are permitted for this visa. If the marriage does not occur within the ninety day period, the fiancée must return to his or her home country. However, the fiancée will not be precluded from applying for another fiancée visa in the future, although the US citizen will have to file the International Marriage Broker Regulation (IMBRA) waiver if filing for another fiancée visa within two years. Green card holders or permanent residents of the United States are not eligible to file for a fiancée visa. Once the US citizen and the fiancée are married, they must apply for an adjustment of the status of the spouse of the US citizen to obtain permanent residence status. If they have been married for less than two years when they apply, a conditional green card is granted. After 1 year and nine monthsof receiving the conditional green card, the spouse must apply for removal of the condition to receive a permanent residency card.
How do I marry an American woman for a Green Card? How much do they charge?
It is illegal and unethical to marry someone for green card. This is fraudulent, and you can face harsh consequences. Of course fraudulent marriages exist, where the citizen charges $10K - $20K for marriage; but I highly discourage you from doing this for your own good.
If I marry somebody so they can get a Green Card, what happens to her when we file for divorce?
This is a place where details matter.If you marry a US citizen or US LPR, get a green card on the basis of that marriage, and then immediately divorce them, you will be likely to lose the green card unless you can show that your spouse was abusive (in which case you get protection under VAWA). In general, any divorce within the first two years will raise the suspicion that the marriage was solely or primarily for an immigration benefit, but this can be rebutted by sufficient proof that the marriage was originally a legitimate attempt at a marriage that simply failed. If you convince USCIS that your failed marriage was a legitimate attempt at a marriage, or that you have been a victim of domestic abuse, you get to keep your green card.If you marry a US citizen or US LPR, get a green card, and then get divorced after the two year conditional window but before you apply to naturalize, your marriage may be scrutinized during your naturalization interview. If the USCIS naturalization officer concludes that your original marriage was for the sole or primary purpose to obtain an immigration benefit, you will be denied naturalization and may also lose your green card.If you make it through naturalization and then divorce after you get your citizenship, nothing happens (other than that you’re divorced). I have never heard of someone having a citizenship rescinded after the fact for immigration fraud because the marriage under which they originally immigrated was revealed to be a sham after naturalization. I suppose that it is, in theory, possible, but I just don’t see it as likely.Note that if USCIS concludes, at any point, that your marriage was not a bona fide attempt at a marriage, but was instead a sham marriage for the purpose of obtaining an immigration benefit, both you and your ex-spouse may also be prosecuted for immigration marriage fraud, a federal felony that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and possibly also rescission of naturalization (if either party naturalized after the marriage) and deportation (for anyone who is not yet a citizen or whose naturalization is rescinded). Anyone deported for immigration marriage fraud will have a lifetime ban on further attempts to immigrate to the United States. A person who was a citizen prior to committing immigration marriage fraud will not lose their citizenship thereby, but will generally not be allowed to sponsor further people for immigration as a spouse.

Us citizenship after marriage-based green card and divorce?
Do you still hold a NON conditional green card....ie the 10 year one [there is no 5 year one] if so divorce has NO impact on you applying for citizenship etc etc...........and you do NOT leave out any details else your application for citizenship may well be denied and you get deported for lying on a federal form............ The marriage matters not so do NOT hide it.........and nope if you hold the 10 year green card divorce does NOT close the path to citizenship...........just as a comment, your spouse is still on the hook for supporting you as he/she sponsored you in divorce does NOT make that bit of paper he/she signed go away, so they can be as awkward as they like, federal trumps them being idiots.
