I think that he would need a Visa in order to do that.

If you are obligated somewhere else this will stop

H1B is really not international nor is covered, it was made by a country. See Ronald Reagan.\n If you plan to travel to another county within the USA, especially another state your Drivers License is not recognized, the reason why transfer of records to the county DMV office is done. Even military ID. The USA does recognize American passports as temporary drivers license, identification across the state of Virginia (JFK), and Southern California (Marilyn M.)\n The traveller needs to call the nearest embassy of destination, including stop overs (one visa per city/state). Passengers staying on board the carriage to the destination, must be guarded (the local tourist attraction again).\nWhat is recognized in Europe is the regular passport from Napoleonic Times, this is the original one reserved for inter-city travel (Holy Catholic Church and Servanti). Back then horse travel was like the plane.

The US has been extremely open and generous to inmigrants, to the extent of going out of the way to help out inmigrants. Where else in the world can an inmigrant take a driver's licence test in his/her native language? That is also applied to inmigration forms, education... I could go on. The US has every right to enforce inmigration laws, just the same way any other country does. That I know on a first-hand basis because I've lived abroad, and have abided by other countries' inmigration laws- whose paperwork, by the way, can be a  very, very long process!

I have never heard of a transitional passport for greencard holders.  What would the purpose of it be?\n\nAs far as I know, a greencard holder just needs the greencard and a passport from country of birth in order to travel outside the US.

Entering and remaining in the country without documented permission is a misdemeanor.  \n\nRepresenting yourself as someone else in order to obtain work is fraud and identity theft, felonies.\n\nThe misdemenaor is cheap and easy to prove.  Felonies are expensive to prosecute and harder to convict on--there are so many illegal aliens to capture that it is most expedient to slap the misdemeanor on them and deport them quickly.  That is the current working theory anyway.  Great success, huh?

Definitely not true.  Americans, like any other travelers, need a Passport to travel to other foreign countries. \n\nYou are probably thinking of when you go down to local border towns like Mexicalli & Tijuana where you can easily cross the border to shop or sightsee in these border towns.\n\nFor the rest of the world, you need the country's respective visa.

Marriage got nothing to do with being legal or illegal. Any form of id is good enough for getting married. You can use your passport from your native country as a form of id. \n\nGetting a Green Card based on marriage is a different issue and being legal or illegal matters.\n\n"If you marry a US citizen you are eligible to file for Status change to get a Green Card provided you entered the US legally( through US customs/port)and you don't have any serious criminal records. If you have entered the country illegally you can not change your status based on marriage until congress implements new laws. Two different issues so don't confuse them"

I'm no expert but, how about your passport? Or perhaps your husbands check stub?

getting married witha Salvadoram citizen is about the only easy way to do this. El Salvador had very strict inmmigration laws (figures!). Other than that getting an employment visa and residing for more than 5 years wil also qualify you for residency, but be advised getting a work visa is next to impossible

If you don't declare the money, you will get caught and get charged with a serious crime when you cross the border.  The best way to handle this is to call a bank in New York from mexico and open an account.  You do not have to be a citizen.  However, banks in the US are strictly controlled by the government and your info WILL be reported to our IRS.  You may have to pay taxes of some sort (although I can't imagine what on).  It is simple to hire someone to do your taxes here.  And you will have to file taxes and pay whatever the law says you must every year.  This is also very strict here.  Not doing so, will get you in trouble with the law.  It's easies just to hire someone to do this for you and doesn't cost much.\n\nAnyway.  Go to your bank in mexico and send your money to your bank in the US using a wire transfer.

If you are a USA citizen, you do not need a reason to obtain a passport.  I dont understand your condition fully but you are not telling the full story.  By law you do not need a REASON to obtain a passport unless you have a criminal history that would allow any country to refuse you entry but this is not common at all.  You dont have to give a solid reason for passport application. One reason that is easily accepted is "vacation" which can be justified by saying or stateing on the form that you may take future vacation trips.  Passport application can and should always be done by mail and as long as you fill the required questions then passport is issued without you ever meeting any immigration officer (this is the cae in the USA and I am hopeing that you are a american).  If you are not a american which by your case tells me that you are NOT then each countries laws differ and thus you need to specify where in the world (countr) you are so yahoo users can help you with your question.  BUT if are in the USA then apply by mail and do not specify execrt location for travel plans and make sure you do not have a history of criminal back ground........oh I can go on and on, on this issue but I think you get the point.  Need more help then add more detail to your questions for more advice................good luck....
