Can you get a green card if you marry a green card holder?
As you have not mentioned any country. I am assuming you are asking about United States. Because that’s what comes in my mind when i read/hear Green Card.As per my knowledge, when one person (non- resident) marries another person (resident) then, non-resident person will be eligible for an immigrant visa (green card) under the Immediate Relative category.Years ago, this had actually become a business. People who wanted to become permanent residence of United States, use to marry a person who was already a resident. And, it is not like if you marry a resident then you HAVE to be with them forever. NO. Once a person use to get citizenship, they file for divorce and both walk in their own directions.Why will someone just agree to marry for couple of years?- So, here it is, A non-resident use to make a deal about paying specific amount of money (according to their deal) to a resident partner for marrying for a limited period of time (1-3years approx). So, people started taking this as a business for getting money.New law was passed then, because numerous number of marriage applications were been submitted. And, also many divorce cases were filed. According, to new law. Non-resident when marries a resident, Instead of getting “permanent residency” they will get “conditional residency”. “Conditional residency” lasts for 2 years (trial period). There is no numerical limit for submitting marriage applications. BUT, it takes much of time in an application process.In most ways, a conditional resident has the same rights as a permanent resident. He or she can travel in and out of the U.S., accept employment without separately applying for a work permit. Key DIFFERENCE, is that, conditional residency will get expired after 2 years. And, needs to be changed into “permanent residency”. NO, it cannot be renewed.HOW CAN YOU REMOVE “contional residency” and get “permanent residency” ?As your trial period is about to end. You need to file for “permanent residency”. It requires evidence for your ongoing marriage. And, only then you will be eligible for getting green card. Yes, it does take time.For more information:-Conditional Permanent ResidenceMarriage in the United States - Wikipedia*As Per My Knowledge.*
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 a student on an F1 marries a Green Card holder, can the F1 student change status and get a work permit? How long would that take?
A spouse of a permanent resident is in the F2A category, which currently has a wait for visa numbers of almost 2 years. That means you must wait until that long after the I-130 petition (which can only be submitted after marriage) is submitted before you can proceed to the next step (either Adjustment of Status in the US if you are in the US and in status at that time, or Consular Processing abroad otherwise).If you remain in status in the US by the time a visa number becomes available for your category and priority date, you can apply for Adjustment of Status in the US, in which case you can also apply for an EAD to work in the meantime. But it is extremely improbably that a visa number will become available in as little as the 6 months you will remain in status; therefore, you will not be able to do Adjustment of Status. You will do Consular Processing abroad, and you will have no particular right to enter or work in the US while you are waiting for that.
Can an F1 student marry a green card holder?
There are no restrictions to who can marry in a free country. Couples in the US are free to do what they want to do as they wish. The US does not restrict relationships or discriminate based on a person’s national origin or their US Visa status. In fact, a person can even get married if they are out of status in the US. Even couples where both people are both non-US citizens with temporary Visas can legally get married in the United States. It would be a legally valid marriage in the US (and most countries recognize a US wedding as a legally binding marriage).(Note: If however, in the scenario you stated, lets say the F1 spouse is eventually applying for immigration benefits, then the USCIS will not simply assume that a legal wedding is a bona-fide marriage. The couple needs to prove, with evidence, that they are in a marriage that was entered into with love and good faith).
Green card holder marrying F1 visa?
lots of noise from Ibu Guru, very little clarity or even basic knowledge. let him show you otherwise, but he can't because it's just not there under the law. one, your LPR can marry her at any time. Two, he can file an I-130 immigrant petition with USCIS for her as soon as they marry, but since he is an LPR, that petition would provide no immigrant benefits at all until it was current or valid for use, although if he's only a few months away, it would be a lot simpler to wait until he does naturalize. LPRs absolutely can file for spouses and children, despite the previous answer. Three, as long as he remains an LPR, that petition would take 2 1/2 years at the moment before she could use it. So, in order to stay in the US legally, she'd have to remain in status as a student, or find some other status. If the LPR did natuarlize, she would not be eligible for naturalization with him. But, she would be eligible to ajdust status and get a green card, since the petition would change in classification from F2a as the spouse of an LPR to IR-1 or CR-1 as the spouse of an American citizen. So, at that point, if she's still waiting on her petition, he'd have to file an I-485 adjustment of status form for her with USCIS. Or, he could simply wait to file anything until after he becomes a citizen and then file an I-130 immigrant petition, an I-485 adjustment of status form and an I-765 work authorization request. they should all be filed together as otherwise things will go astray and take a lot longer, but it will cost about $1,400 to file everything. check out www.uscis.gov for more information and downloadable forms.
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.
Can a US green card holder get married to a US tourist visa holder, who lives in the US?
US tourist visa holder is allowed in USA for max 6 months (in special cases stay can be extended up to one year). So, that person is visiting USA, not living here on permanent bases. If person who have US tourist visa, lives here (work, study, etc) then this person doesn't have valid US tourist visa anymore because that person is doing things to which is not authorized. So you can call that person illegal immigrant.Yes, they can get married, but I'm pretty sure that at this point person who had US tourist visa will be deported. Way smarter would be to obtain US citizenship by person who have green card first and then get married.
Immigration to USA based on marriage with Green card holder?
you need to file an I-130 immigrant petition for her through USCIS. you could have done so at any point since you married. if you had filed after you married, she'd already have her own green card and be living with you in the US. at the moment, there's a 4 month wait on this sort of petiton, although the actual processing for the visa will certainly take longer than that. check out www.uscis.gov for more information and downloadable forms.
US Greencard through marriage to a Permanent Resident?
It is not a problem of slow processing time, it is a matter of the numbers of visas available every year for the spouse of a Permanent Resident (they are limited). The current backlog is about 4-5 years. However, there is no wait for a visa number for the spouse of a US citizen, which is why it is faster if your PR spouse applies for US citizenship. Your PR spouse can file a petition for you now and let it wait its turn. When s/he becomes a USC, they can immediately 'upgrade' the petition to citizen status to begin immediate visa processing for you. However, in that time before citizenship, you must find your own immigration status to be in the US with; you may not legally wait here for your number to become current. To qualify for the V visa, the petition must have been filed for you a number of years ago. You can not petition now and apply for the V visa.
