Every country has it's own way of dealing with illegals.  Right now just as in the 60's many military deserters are going illegally into Canada from the U.S.  They can apply for refugee status on the grounds of persecution (going to war or being imprisoned for desertion).  Few have been granted this however and if denied they can appeal to the Canadian Minister of Immigration that they be allowed to stay on "compassionate" grounds.  Without refugee or compassionate status however an illegal cannot work or get insurance and basically has few if any rights.\n\nThe Philippines has laws that state that someone can be jailed for up to 3 years and be fined thousands of dollars if they are illegally in the country.  Despite their "love of America" immigrating to the Philippines is difficult and generally foreigners cannot own property or legally work. (there are some exceptions that involve LOTS of money).   Certain ethnic backgrounds are treated more harshly than others when it comes to being punished.\n\nIn the United Kingdom, it's status as a member of the European Union means that it recognizes the right for the "free movement of people".  This doesn't mean however that anyone who wants to can just come into the country.  Illegal immigration has been a hugely debated issue, however even with the desire for more controlled immigration, the UK is still civilized about how it deals with illegals.  Depending on the level of their immigration breech, penalities are not as severe as most countries and an amnesty policy is being considered.

Does your friend have legal or illegal status? If she is legal, she has nothing to worry about. If she is illegal, she should do whatever is necessary to gain legal status before she does have to go.\n\nThe United States is a nation of laws. We cannot pick and choose which laws we follow, or the very fabric which holds our country together will begin to unravel.\n\nTo those who say we should "overlook" this law because so many have been here so long, I ask these questions:\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant (NOT undocumented worker) is hungry? Is it alright to allow him to steal to fill his belly?\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant has to get to work? Is it alright for him to steal a car to get there?\n\nWhat if an illegal immigrant is missing the señora and feeling a little randy? Is it okay for him to commit rape to satisfy those urges?\n\nWhy is it different, then, when it comes to breaking immigration laws? A law is a law is a law. We cannot pick and choose which laws we allow to be broken vs. those ones we follow.\n\nIf you do not like the immigration laws, elect someone who will change them. Until then, every illegal immigrant in this country is a slap in the face to those who immigrate legally. Immigration to the United States is not easy - it is not supposed to be.\n\nThere is no "right" to be able to immigrate here. You have to earn it. As with anything, that which is worth having is worth working for.

A person who does not already have indefinite leave to remain in UK is NOT allowed to get married to a UK citizen in this country, unless they have come with a spouse visa. The person would need to go back home and apply from there - with no certainty of being accepted. They would very possibly not be accepted even if you got married somewhere else, eg his home country.\n\nWorking after six months? This was a rule that used to apply to asylum-seekers, it was abolished about four years ago, but the Home Office still sometimes issues people documents stating that they can apply for permission to work after that period.\n\nIf your friend is an asylum-seeker, he would not be able to marry you here. If he has been granted refugee staus, he MIGHT be allowed to. If he is from an EU country it will be fine, or if he already has settled status.\n\nIf not, he needs to go home and apply for the spouse visa. He would be interviewed at the British Embassy, and asked about your relationship, asked for his documentation, etc. You will have provided details to show that you can accommodate him, and that you can provide for him. All this wil take a few months to process - or a year if it's refused and you go to court to appeal.\n\nI am NOT an immigration advisor. You need to get free advice from a CAB or a Law Centre or a solicitor. Pay nothing for your initial advice. You should go together so that you both know how things stand. \n\nCheck out www.homeoffice.gov.uk\n\nGood luck!

You sound a lot like my brother...are you?  Seriously ditch town.  My brother didn't and now he is behind bars for a good 4 more years. and that is for the first crime he already served, just for violation of parole....he was out on good behavior. He has problems and issues, but he is my brother and will not judge him, love him.   Since Australia started out as a penal colony I do not see why they wouldn't take you and yes you can permanently leave the United States, but you need to obtain  citizenship, France is where you should go it requires you to give up on your US citizenship and think all other countries do too.  Back to my brother he is telling me all the things he wants to do with his life when he gets out...well saying and doing are two different things and with a criminal record it won't be easy to get on with your life it sucks but that is our society. But I'd leave town and start anew, and just be honest with people close to you so your past doesn't catch up with you.

Hard to get, intentionally. The US is in a somewhat protectionist mood over the last couple years. If you're serious about wanting to be in the US, get to know everything about it (history, society, etc.)--that will help with your citizenship process.

I don't know very much about the refugees process but I do have a few suggestions for you.\n\nFirst, I suggest you change your story a bit. western societies don't care very much about religion. Only because you are cristian now won't make a difference. What country are you coming from ? I'm not aware of any countries that kill their citizens after having been in the Western World. Are there any laws that state that ? If there are then you'll have much better luck. As a refugee it's your duty to provide proof of you being persecuted. Simply pointing to the Quran is not good enough, I'm affraid, or the entire muslim population could come here as refugees...\n\nUnfortunately, there is a thing called the Dublin convention which states that you must apply for asylum in the first country you land to so you won't be able to seek asylum somewhere else ...\n\nAnother option is to try to immigrate another way (not as refugee). You can try immigrating to Canada,UK,New Zealand or Australia as a skilled worker if you qualify.\nAll these countries have active immigration programs based on points. Go to their website calculate your points and see if you qualify.\n\nGood luck

My husband is currently deployed in Afghanistan so I have a little info for you.  The government is no longer allowing people to send letters to a random person like we used to be able to.  Before, you were allowed to write a letter and address it to "any soldier" and they could write back.  Because of security reasons, they will now throw away any mail address like this (at least that is what I was told).  We were told that if we found people who were interested in "adopting" a soldier so to speak that they should contact a base or national guard post close to them and they can sign you up and actually give you information on how you can write letters and provide support.\n\nHope this helps

Times ago-the companies who could not find help in there area paid. I work for such a company. They flew them in and housed them and worked them. Believe it or not it worked for all.! They didn't get citizenship but they did get money for their work-and no one complained because it didn't hurt those here-which now on drain of programs it does. They were not entitle to other programs while living here or working here. I guess than we had sense.

There are several ways, but unfortunately it will be difficult.\n\n1) File for refugee status.  If you can prove that his life is in danger in his home country, he can get a visa that is on track to green card and US citizenship status.\n\n2) Help him be accepted to a US university or other educational institute.  They will support his student visa, and then once he is in the US and graduates, he will be automatically eligible to work ion the US for a year in his field of study.  After that, his company can sponsor him for a visa to stay longer.\n\n3) Help him find a job.  If a US company will sponsor him to do a job that they can't find a US citizen to do, they can sponsor him for a visa or even a green card.  I know people who have done this for telecommunications infrastructure development and I know someone who did this as a cook in an Irish Pub (in the US I live in an affluent area and there aren't a lot of cooks around).  If you have the money, you can even found your own business with an emphasis on doing business with Afghanistan, and then support him for a visa as you need and Afghan expert with contacts.  Maybe you could export handicrafts?  It would be relatively simple to set something up and you could probably find a supplier on Chicken Street pretty fast.  You don't have to very successful, just enough to justify his help (even as a start-up consultant)\n\n4) Bring him to the US on a tourist visa.  This is normally hard to get for an Afghan, but if you invite him (officially) and provide a guarantee for any expenses he incurs, then he should get it.  I know an Afghan who came to the US that way.  Once he is here, he can try looking for a job that will sponsor him.\n\n5) Hire an immigration lawyer.  They can often find ways that no one has ever thought of. Even if you just get the money together to talk to a top immigration lawyer on the phone for an hour or two, they usually deliver.  You can find immigration lawyers and some information about them at: http://lawyers.martindale.com/\n\nGood luck!

Asylum is relief for a foreign national to remain in the U.S. under legal status because the foreign national has suffered past persecution in his home country or country of last habitual residence, or because the foreign national has a well founded fear of future persecution in his home country or country of last habitual residence and such persecution is based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group.
