The reason I ask is because I am a U.S citizen and my fiance and I would like to get married but I also would like to help my dad come back to the U.S. (LEGALLY)

You can file a family-based petition for a GC on his behalf. There is quite a backlog (at least 1-2 years) so be prepared to be in it for the long haul.\n\nYou don't have to be married so long as you are a US citizen over 13yrs.

I BELIEVE THAT IT IS 6 MONTHS AT A TIME...I HAVE FRIENDS THAT DO THIS EVERY YEAR AND GO TO ARIZONA AND THEN GO BACK AND IT SEEMS THAT THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO GO BACK FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS AND THEN THEY CAN COME BACK AGAIN. YOU WILL GET THE BEST ANSWERS FROM THE AMERICAN INS ONE WAY TO MAYBE SPEED THINGS UP IS TO COME HERE TO HIM GET MARRIED AND WHILE YOU ARE HERE FOR THE 6 MONTHS HE CAN FILE FOR YOU TO STAY BECAUSE THEN YOU WOULD BE HIS WIFE

Nope mah there is no way you can get it faster. Marrying a citizen will not expediate your process because you are already a resident, so that won't make much of a difference, The only way I see that you can get your citizenship quicker is in fact to join the military but you say you have already tryed to no avail. Just wait it out time will pass before you know it. Muahzzz!!! .

No it isn't true.\n\nIt takes a LONG time to become a legal citizen and like typical governments, it takes longer to process additional paperwork.  If you are sure your spouse is filed, then just wait it out.  If you have questions if he did file for you to join him, contact the American Embassy and see if they can give you a phone number to see what the hold up is.\n\nI hope you get to come here soon, start your new life with your husband and I wish you all the best here!!\n\nTHANK YOU for coming to America legally :)  God Bless!

Assuming that you are not just marrying to stay in the country; that is illegal. (When you go to CIS for the interview for your residency card you'll be found out and probably deported.)\n\nYou can renew your student visa in order to finish your studies.\n\nIf you are marrying with the intent of setting up a household with a US citizen or legal resident, there are no restrictions.  You should sail through the CIS interview.  \n\nIf you apply shortly after your marriage, you will get a temporary residency card and you will have to reapply after you have been married for two years.  If you are still married to the same person and are still living together then you should get your permanent residency at that time.\n\nDon't try to scam the system.  The CIS interiewers are experts.  They will delve deeply into your relationship with your spouse (who will be interviewed both with you and separately) and ask lots of very personal, intimate questions.  Married couples who answer honestly never have a problem but anyone trying to scam the system will be exposed.  \n\nA native US citizen involved in a fraudulent marriage faces several years in prison and huge fines.  A naturalized citizen may be stripped of their citizenship and deported to their native land.  A legal resident risks loss of residency and deportation.  The alien risks deportation and being barred from ever returning to the US.

yup, check out the site given by the guy above me for the requirements, and you also would need signed permission from both parents with social services or you wouldn't be able to leave the country. They would also require that paperwork at the US Embassy during the interview.

You could contact INS or an American embassy and they may be able to tell you.

As long as he is amerincan citizen it could be quite easy, before getting married you/lawyer/other expert need to request a fiance visa, once you receive it you have around 3 months to marry him and later on you will be receiving your green card. Every other way will take longer. You can search on yahoo for more information about fiance visa.

You may be an American citizen anywhere in the world.  \n\nHowever, what you are asking for is probably ILLEGAL.  That's why the consulate won't help her.  Neither will I.

you have to apply for american citizenship and it is a long process.  by getting married, i believe you can live in the US, but you would need to apply for a work visa while waiting for you residency card

Your English isn't very clear.  I know that now if you get married, you get deported...because the U.S.A. would recognize that you were not a legal resident.\n\nThe question that you have is very hypothetical, because it depends on what the congress' new "rule of inmigration" is.

You will need to apply for a Visa although it is not going to look good that you have been living in the US illegally.  I would say you need to marry someone else or you may have serious problems.

Marry a US citizen,or get an employer to sponsor you(although you shouldn't be working "over the table" on a F1 visa), and read the website at USCIS.GOV

The easiest way is to marry an American.  They can help you obtain a Temporary Resident Visa and then after a few years, if you qualify, you can obtain Permanent Residency.\nNowadays, it is really dificult to obtain Visas for this country.

You are eligible for citizenship.  You married a Canook citizen....Can't tell you where to go, but you are certainly eligible.\nOh & thanks for the thumbs down, whoever you are.

You need to get married before you will have a legally recognized relationship.  Once you are married you can tehn apply for him to immigrate to the US.  Alternatively, he (or you) can apply for a student or work visa (if either applies) that would allow him to live in the US.
