What do you mean by “pelvic exam?”You do have to have a medical examination to become a US citizen, but it’s limited to communicable diseases, STDs, and mental health issues. There will be a physical part, as per the link that another poster put here:The doctor will then give you a physical examination, which will include looking at your eyes, ears, nose and throat, extremities, heart, lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, skin, and external genitalia.What the Medical Exam for a U.S. Green Card Involves | Nolo.com (Again, repeated link from the other poster.)Though, the reason why you can’t have used your own doctor is, as other posters have pointed out, because you have to have it done by a doctor approved by the U.S. consulate or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). So that’s not unusual. There are women doctors on this list. You were in no way required to go to a man.If what you mean by “pelvic exam” is covered above by the “external genitalia” exam, then… that is within the rules. You shouldn’t have gotten a pap smear or anything. So it should have been a cursory visual check and that’s all, at least to my interpretation of the text.Personally, I don’t find this particularly unreasonable. I can understand why you might be uncomfortable if you went to see a male doctor for this and you have reservations about that, but… you didn’t have to see a male doctor. From my readings on the subject, the physical examination is mostly cursory in nature.If something more intensive happened in your particular instance, you should talk with a lawyer because that very well could be abuse. However, again, if it was just a basic physical examination… that’s within the requirements.
How long does my future wife need wait become a resident of the US and get financial aid for school?
If you can rustle up about $1,200 to pay all the paperwork fees and find at least one co-sponsor to sign the Affidavit of Support since you don't make much money, then your wife will get a green card several months if the application is approved. USCIS sometimes requires interviews with the couple and may ask for more documentation before approving or denying. With a green card, your wife can apply for financial aid. She will probably need to wait one year after getting the green card to become eligible for resident tuition. As her spouse, your income must be claimed on FAFSA applications, so if you graduate and get a job, your wife's financial aid package may be reduced. The first green card your wife would get is a conditional 2-year card. Three months before the card expires, you and your wife would have to file to remove conditions so she can get a permanent green card. If you separated or divorced while she still had the conditional 2-year card, it would be very difficult for her to get approved for the permanent card. Hope all this information helps you make this big decision.
When can my wife become a US citizen?
I am a US citizen. I sponsored her and received a K3 visa on August 2006 so that she could be with me in the United States while waiting for her Permanent Resident appointment. Finally, she became a full Permanent Resident on January 2008. I understand, that a spouse can apply for citizenship 3 years after becoming a legal resident. But I don't know if that refers to the time when she became a permanent resident, or when she received her temporary K3 visa. With the first visa, she was able to get a Social Security number, apply for a job permit, get a state ID and all the stuff that permanents residents are entitled to. So what do you think, when can she apply for US citizenship? August 2009, or January 2011?
Would my child benefit by becoming a US citizen...There are 2 distinct questions here.1. Would the child become a US citizen? Yes. 2. Would the child benefit? Maybe. Maybe not. As someone who cares for your child, you will want to bring her up yourself, which means she will have to leave the US when you do. Her citizenship confers NO immigration rights to you until she becomes an adult and sponsors your permanent residence. That's 18 years just to get the process started. The world can change a whole lot in 18 years. Your home country may explode with opportunities while those in the US may greatly shrink (already happening with countries like India and China). Your child may excel at a local sport that isn't popular in the US. There could be so many other reasons why she might want to stay in your home country. This is a big problem. The US is that rare country that taxes non-resident Americans, so she'll find herself shelling out big bucks for the privilege of citizenship, apart from any and all local taxes. Depending on the university rules in your home country and whether it condones dual citizenship, she might find fewer opportunities for higher education, or they could be priced significantly higher. College education in the US may not be a viable alternative if you cannot afford it. Getting a local job could also be complicated.Forget all that. What if your child has all the makings of becoming the next premier of your home country? What if the only thing preventing her is the fact that her mom/dad decided to travel to the US to give birth? Not a common scenario for immigrants to the US, but entirely possible if her entire life until that point was spent in your home country.Yes, IF it turns out that emigrating to the US is still a positive change to her socio-economic condition 18 years from now, then it might well pay off.Do you like gambling?
How can i become a us citizen?
before you can get a shot at taking the citizenship test, you need to become a permanent resident, or greencard holder. until you are a legal resident for 5 years, there's no possibility that you'll be able to become a citizen. most children qualify for green cards through their parents. while the law doesn't hold you legally responsible for being here illegally as a child, once you turn 18, the law does hold you responsible for deciding to stay. since you came here illegally, there isn't anyway for you to get a green card while in the US. even if you married an American, you'd still have to leave to get an immigrant visa to return. Fair or unfair hardly matters. that's the way it is and that is what is really important.
Filed I-130 for my spouse,and I am soon becoming a US citizen, whats the quickest way to bring her?
Assuming the approved petition has been sent to the National Visa Center, you should notify that office so that the petition can be upgraded: Procedure details here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/...
Question about marriage with a non US citizen?
You should not be so coy with what happened with the police if anyone here is to give you any possible answer. Was he arrested? Was he charged? What was he charged with? Did he plead guilty? What did he plead guilty to? How much time did he get? Not all crimes have immigration consequences. Some do, some don't. It doesn't make any difference whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor. Both can have terrible immigration consequences including lifetime deportation. There is no check for criminal background when getting married. People in jail even get married too! So, that would have no effect on anything marriage related. He needs to consult with an immigration attorney skilled in both the grounds of inadmissibility and removability before he pleads guilty to any criminal charge. Mere "rehabilitative" expungments (wiping from record) won't work for most offenses in the immigration court.
British citizenship for my wife and future child?
I know that if the child is born in the country , the child is a citizen of that country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_a_UK_citizen British Citizenship can be acquired in the following ways: 1. By birth in the United Kingdom to a parent who is a British citizen at the time of the birth, or to a parent who is settled in the United Kingdom 2. By descent if one of the parents is a British citizen otherwise than by descent (for example by birth, adoption, registration or naturalisation in the United Kingdom) 3. By naturalisation 4. By registration 5. By adoption More details on Number 1) above: Under the law in effect from 1 January 1983, a child born in the UK to a parent who is a British citizen or 'settled' in the UK is automatically a British citizen by birth * only one parent needs to meet this requirement, either the father or the mother. * "settled" status usually means the parent is resident in the United Kingdom and holds Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or Right of Abode. Irish citizens are automatically deemed to hold ILR. * where a parent subsequently acquires British citizenship or "settled" status the child can be registered as British provided he or she is still aged under 18 * if the child lives in the UK until age 10 there is a lifetime entitlement to register as a British citizen. The immigration status of the child and its parents is irrelevant. * Special provisions may apply for the child to acquire British citizenship if a parent is a British Overseas citizen or British subject, or if the child is stateless. After this the categories become more complex and involved. From the above info, it would seem that the earliest age would be 10, and presumably any point after that if the child met the conditions. If it's an issue I'd see an immigration solicitor for some advice. Don't bother with the CAB, they'll listen to your story and then tell you to go and see an immigration solicitor!
Because of a misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to The US Constitution, the answer is: No. Was she pregnant before coming to the US? Just because your son is technically an American Citizen, your wife is not automatically granted Citizenship, and is here in direct violation of International and US Law, Specifically Title VIII, USG Code Chapter 12; Subchapters I-V, and §§1101 — §§1537. Not being an ass by saying technically, because if you asked me the same question, but changed a couple words around, the answer would 100% different. Example: You and your Wife are both Mexican Citizens, you visit the US on Official Business, oh yeah, you're The Mexican Ambassador to The United States of America btw, and although your wife has several weeks before the baby arrives, whilst in DC she goes into labour, and has the baby on US Soil (outside of the Embassy) and after a few days you return home with your son who's one Mexico's newest Citizens! See how that's a bit off?
