How easy is it for a UK citizen to move to the USA (New York) for a few years?
Visa Waiver Programme (VWP): The VWP allows most British Citizen passport holders to visit the US for up to 90 days. The types of journey allowed under the VWP include tourism, certain types of business visit and transit to another country.Sounds like you need a green card, though. A Green Card holder (permanent resident) is someone who has been granted authorization to live and work in the United States on a permanent basis. As proof of that status, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants a person a permanent resident card, commonly called a "Green Card."You typically need to get a job in order to get a green card. Go here for details.
I am a US citizen now. How long will it take for my parents to come to the USA with green cards?
Assuming that there are no problems with your parents’ backgrounds (no criminal offenses, contagious diseases, or involvement in matters related to national security), the process has, in recent years at least, typically taken somewhere between 10 and 20 months. However, the current turmoil over immigration within the Trump Administration has created a chaotic situation at USCIS and that has resulted in a dramatic slowing of virtually all immigration processing; thus, at this time it is quite impossible to offer a realistic prediction of how long one should expect to wait to have a petition for the immigration of an immediate relative processed. Given recent trends, two to three years is likely a reasonable estimate.
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. :)
How long must I wait at a red light before I can "legally" go forward/turn, etc?
There really is no answer to this. Technically you cannot disobey a traffic control device unless directed by someone who is controlling traffic.I assume that you are not talking about a situation where there is an allowed “Right On Red” where as long as you come to a complete stop, and it is safe to turn you may do so.From reading your question, I think you are talking about that light that does not change to green.Couple of things, most lights these days have sensors to detect a vehicle at the light, which will cause the light to change.What I have seen very often is that people think that it is better to stop back further away from a light. That is not the truth, you should stop at the line before the light, most intersections have this line and may even have a sign that says “Stop here on red” this is to guide you to the sensors. So if you are stuck at that light that seems to not be changing then pull forward more and you may trigger it. The sensors used to be cut into the roadway, if you ever noticed a square cut into the road before a light? Well that is where they put a sensor wire. These days they are not really used anymore. Cameras are used on top of the lights. And NO these cameras are not “Red Light Cameras” where they issue tickets.Now if you have pulled forward a bit, you are stopped where you are supposed to be stopped, and there is a sign that says “NO TURN ON RED”. If you go through the light, you can get a ticket. Now I know of some lights that are sometimes faulty and the sensors just don’t work some times.Now depending on the agency, (size of the agency) you can call the police desk and let them know that the light has not changed in X minutes. Now this is not authorization to go through the light. But using my agency for example, we are a small town so there is usually always a patrol car in the area. So we can go there and check on it, and if the traffic is backed up, we will manually control traffic and check the light for cycling.So in the end “how long do I have to wait”, in the eyes of the law “Until the light turns green” or you are told to go by a police officer/traffic control officer.
I want to move to America?
Well I live in New Zealand, and I am 14 coming up 15. I have a lot of friends from the internet that live in canada/america, i've known them for about a year, so I wouldn't be lonely. I don't want to move YET, i was hoping I could wait til i was 16 and then do my last year or two of high school in America. I want to do something with animals, like work in a zoo or pet store, and all the animals i like best are in America. I also have wanted to live over there since forever ago, I remember when I was little I used to put on an american accent and pretend to be american. What would I need to do to be able to live there? I plan on staying with one of my friends for a few weeks then boarding/flatting and going to school. Again, I would be doing this when I was at least 16. Also could my mum legally make me not go? If she didn't want me to leave for america, could she actually stop me? p.s. I was hoping to move somewhere between calgary in canada and california, preferably closer to california (: Oh and where would be a cheaper place to live around there?
I want to move to Japan.?
Ok, I love Japan. I love the culture and how it has that exciting feel to it. I do want to learn the language and live there really, really badly but there are a few things stopping me 1. I'm black and I would hate to go there and find out it like America in the 40's 2. I 'm the slyest girl ever 3. I'm just stepping out high school and have no clue about the complicated steps to permanently leaving the country I understand that it will tough times but I would really like some advice on what life would be like, where it would be best to live that includes snow, and basically how to go about this. I want to know if life there seems like heaven but is hell, for me at least in your opinion. I have heard that it challenging but worth it from some people and from others I have heard it was horrible. I would like if it is from someone who lives there but other people are fine to.
If you are an American citizen and move to the UK, do you get free healthcare?
If you have a valid visa for more than 6 months then you will be treated by the NHS on the same basis as a local, but you must pay a health surcharge as part of the cost of your visa - the cost of that is £150 per year for students, £200 for other visas.For temporary visitors (e.g. tourists) without visas, or those with a visa length less than 6 months, you will be expected to pay the commercial cost of treatment (less than is typical in the US, but a long way from free). In practice you will never be turned away, and if you have no way to pay on you, you will be expected to provide details and sign an intent to pay. Having unpaid medical bills in the UK would hinder any future visa application you might make.For those who get NHS services, it is (mostly) free at the point of delivery for GPs and Hospitals, but you will be charged a fixed prescription fee (£8.60 per item) or you can pre-pay for a year (£104.00) that covers all prescriptions. If you are pregnant, under 18, over 60, or have a certain set of chronic conditions (e.g. diabetes) all prescriptions will be free. Dental services operate on a fixed fee scale (free if you are under 18). Opticians have a subsidy for check-up and lens prescription but you pay the commercial prices for glasses.
After marrying a US citizen, how long does it take to get a green card?
Ndifreke Udo to avoid duplicates, I totally agree with Brady Stoddard’s answer as mine would not differ from his.Hope this helps.
