My fiance is a Haitian citizen, but a US permanent resident.  I am a US citizen.  Would changing her name on her green card mean we would have to change her name on her passport?  Do only citizens have US passports?

First of, only U.S. citizens can hold a U.S. passport. To avoid unnecesasry delays when re-entering the country from travel abroad, I would advise changing the name on the passport as well. Otherwise, you will be forced to carry your marriage cert. everytime you travel.

my passport, with my previous US & UK, Spain, France visa stamps. barely managed to get a new one on time, but US did not give me a visa because it showed i had no prior visa stamps on my passport and that i had just got a duplicate passport made. \n\ni could only go meet my fiancee after one whole year because of this.\n\nthings soured in the interim due to the distance and shortly after reaching US we broke up. i am still single.

It states that; You may send photocopies of requested documents unless the INS specifically asks for an original. In the event that an original document is sent when it is not required it will be kept in the records of the INS. That means if you send an original technically they won't throw it away, but you'll never see it again so definately don't send things like your ID or passport of course. I personnally sent my original birth certificate since I can easily get another, but really that wasn't even necessary. Basically just send copies of everything unless you see it stated somewhere that they require the original. Pictures, the petition itself, and anything that has to be notarized or stamped by an official should be the original. And a strong word of advice from personal experience: make sure you send EVERYTHING they need the 1st time, if even 1 detail is missing they won't hesitate to delay things for many months, like they did with me, 3 times! My supposed 6-12 month process has been going on for more than 2 years. Good luck to you!!

Well she is now illegal in this country! The whole thing about the k1 visa is that she has to marry you to legalize or adjust her status! If you two are already married, she is supposed to have condition residence until you both apply to remove those conditions after two years ! So if she left, her green card is only good for two years! Which brings me back to my point! She will be illegal after two years.Notify USBCIS on the situation! If you have already done the I-751( Petition to Remove conditions on permanent residence) Regardless if you signed I-864 ( Affidavit Of Support) I am afraid there is nothing you can do if she doesn't want to come home. Still notify USBCIS on the situation though! What sucks is you still me responsible for them after divorce! Re read the form and get a lawyer! Sorry man , but good luck!

Yes, a few years back because of the Patriot Act and terrorist incidents, they require all persons to provide ID, if you are not a citizen (a green card holder) then you also have to show them your green card.

If he has a green card, he is the resident of the U.S. (even though if only the temporary one (2-year green card)). If he wants to keep the Korean citizenship, then he should go to the military. If, however, he wants to become an American citizen, he can ignore the letter and nothing will happen to him. If he already has the green card, he doesn't have to marry a citizen in order to receive his citizenship. 2-year temporary green card is getting replaced with a permanent 10-year green card; and after you have stayed in the U.S. for 5 years like this, you apply for the citizenship and you receive it. \n\nHere what I think is really going on:\nAre you an American citizen?\nHave you ever seen his green card? Do you know how the green cards look like?\nHave you ever seen the "military" letter that he has received?\n\nMy personal opinion is that he has no green card and is manipulating you into the marriage in order to get one (!)\nI might be wrong, but in any case: be careful.

You should have a foreign passport from the country you were born especially when you are getting off the ship in foreign ports of call. The Resident card is to return to the US.

As a greencard holder, you are required to show a passport from country of birth along with your greencard in order to re-enter the US.

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.

There is not enough information to answer your question.\n\nIf you want to Marry a US Citizen he or she has to obtain a Fiancee Visa and you need to get married withing 90 days of the filing of the Visa.\n\nAfter you are legally in the United States of America you can then start the process to become a US Permanent Resident.\n\nYou don't get automatic US Permantent Residency just by marriage of a US Citizen. \n\nKeep in mind, to get a Fiance Visa, You need to leave the United States of America and enter again legally with your Fiance Visa.\n\nThe Visa and the SSN are not related in any way.

I'm with the answerers telling you to carry your marriage certificate with you.  All they need to see is how your name legally changed.  In the meantime, apply to change your name on your SS card, as well.  Maybe even carry a copy of that application, as well.  I recently applied for my passport and, even though I am now divorced and had my divorce documents, they needed to see my marriage certificate to show why my name changed and because I kept my married surname after the divorce.  I no longer had my marriage certificate, so had to order a new one from Vital Statistics.

Get married then file all your paperwork together! Be sure to include an EAD application (employment authorization document\n It is good for one year and renewable if your conditional permanent resident card has not been processed by then! You have the right to work while your application is pending! Mine only took about a month after adjusting my status ( I- 485) . As soon as you receive this , take it to the SS office and get your new social security number!  This is a VERY valid form of ID and all places of employment will accept this to make you a legal tax payer! Good luck!!

I was British, and I am now American.\n\nWhen you take your oath of alliegance as a naturalized citizen, you must renounce your allegiance to any foreign government. That means that as far as America is concerned, you are an American, and do not have dual nationality.\n\nBritain's view is that you cannot give up your citizenship. So, although I no longer have a British passport, and always refer to myself as an American, the British government would still recognize my British citizenship for residency etc.\n\nIf you plan to become an American, you should do so because you are committed to this country; and you should not be concerned about maintaining citizenship in a foreign country; that's wanting to 'have your cake and eat it too'.\n\n[edit] The previous posting is incorrect. If you are 'not normally resident' in the UK, you do not need to file a tax return in the UK, assuming  you are not earning anything in that country. If you are earning anything in the UK, you must include that income on your US tax return.

As of February 27, 2001 you were already 19 or at least 18, right?  So, you can't apply for a citizenship certificate on your own name based on you mother citizenship, because you would need to be under 18 as of Feb 27/01.  You need to apply for citizenship using form N-400. \n\nRegarding your green card, I think you should have replaced it when you turned 14.  \n\nThe best thing you can do is go to your local immigration office and ask them for advice.

I would highly recommend that you go visit india for an extended time and make sure that is what you want to do before you set things in motion on a more permanent basis.\n\nI just want to clarify that an American does NOT automatically lose their american citizen if they become a citizen of another country.  The only way this happens is if you go to embassy and sign away your rights by consciously choosing to renounce your american citizenship.\n\nDual citizenship is allowed, but not encouraged.\nThe exception to this is when a person from ANOTHER country becomes a citizen of the U.S.  As part of the oath, there is a phrase renouncing previous citizenship.  However, this is no longer enforced, for a variety of reasons, even though it is still on the books.\n\nI lost all my links, but I will post the link to this information as soon as I locate it.\n\nP.S. ... while it is legal to have dual citizenship, it can create some problems and hassles, too, post 9/11 ... just be prepared.

it depends on how he entered the US. If he legally entered with a visa and overstayed then when you get married you could petition for him to adjust his status to permanent resident with immigration.... if he came into the country without visa...then he may have to go back to his country and wait there until your petition for fiance visa comes thru....normally...after you have filed your petition for your husband...he will be given a conditional green card 3-6 months after you have filed the petition....the conditional green card will be valid for 2 yr... 90 days before the expire of the green card ...you husband will have to provide proof to immigration to remove the condition and receive his permanent 10 yr green card...if he's approved he will receive his 10 yr green card and then wait 3 yrs if still married to you or 5 yr continued stay in the US to be eligible to apply for US citizenship.....visit the link below... good luck!
