NO - marriage to a U.S. citizen does not confer U.S. citizenship to the spouse.  Information on how a US citizen can bring a family member (or spouse) to the US can be found here: http://uscis.gov/graphics/services/residency/family.htm

You got married so you lost your chance to come to the USA through the I-130 petition your father filed. Even if it gets approved,t he consulate will never let you come in when they find out about your marriage. There is one solution to your problem. If your father has been a resident for at least 4 yrs and 9 months, then he should go ahead and file for citizenship so that he can petition you. Once your father has been granted citizenship, then you should attach a copy of your I-130 receipt with a copy of your father's certificate of naturalization or a copy of his new US passport and a copy of your marriage certificate and your child's birth certificate asking them to change your category to " married son or daughter of a US citizen". Your mother and brother and younger sister should also mail a copy of proof of your father's naturalization and your father should follow up by calling the USCIS hotline to make sure they matched up the new evidence to their file and are processing their cases under the new faster category.\n\nOtherwise, ask your father if he can find you an employer in the US that can sponsor you or your husband for a labor certification, if you are a semi-skilled or skilled worker. That way you could come to the US through employment sponsorship. You will need an immigration lawyer to help. \n\nDon't listen to the hate filled idiots like the one above telling you to stay home. Obviously you are looking to do this the legal way, only an idiot can not see that. good luck.

American's are not jailer's, Dude! FFS! When you marry a citizen YOU are a CITIZEN of USA. This country lives, and dies on FREEDOM! You ever read any history books on that? Freedom is practically the first word uttered by American babies! Of course you can travel around the world! SHE"S AN AMERICAN, we pretty much do what we want, LOL. Have a nice trip, just don't let her forget to come back if she loves USA!

If you are a US citizen, then your children are US citizens by birth, no matter where they were born. Your spouse will have to apply for entry into the USA, but if you can document that you are legally married, there should be no problem.  Contact the nearest US embassy for proper forms and procedures.

She needs a sponsor and list of assets in Mexico (for a tourist visa), to marry a US Citizen (or be a fiance), or to apply for a student visa and go to school. For her to get a fiance visa she would need to go back to Mexico and apply from there, if you marry and apply here she will need to go back to Mexico for about 6 mos awaiting her visa. I am not sure about the kids though. I would not suggest that you marry her if you dont love her though. It could make things worse for you later. ex: your girlfriend finds out you are married, she may not take it well.  Any way that you decide, I wish you luck!

The US does not allow dual citizenship of its own citizens.  By that, if you were to become a British citizen, you'd forfeit your US citizenship.  However, depending on England's laws, if your boyfriend becomes a US citizen, he may have dual citizenship status if this doesn't forfeit his British citizenship.\n\nAs for marriage, if it is recognized as legal in another country, then it is recognized as legal in the US.  The only exception would be the case of a same-sex marriage, as the US doesn't currently recognize such marriages.\n\nIf you are interested in marrying your boyfriend and bringing him into the US, it would be better if he applied to come here under a fiance visa.  He would then have 90 days to marry you before that visa expired.  I don't know how long it would take for him to come into the US if you were to marry him in England, it could take longer than a fiance visa route.

If your Dad is a US citizen, then you should be too so I am assuming he is not your biological father.  With that assumption, your fiance should contact INS and simply state that he wants to visit and if all goes well with family, etc.. that you want to marry and what will happen at that point. \n\nHe will probably get a green card too.  You should get your citizenship as soon as you can, I dont know the rules on how long  you have to be in the country. \n\nIf he works in computers or another hard to recruit field, he may be able to get an H1b visa as well.

The boyfriend should leave voluntarily to go back to Mexico.  Then your sister may petition to have him return to the US as her fiance.

If you are a citizen of the UK, when you get married she should become a citizen of the UK, just as you should become a citizen of the US.  If worse comes to worse, she should at least become a legal alien of the UK.  So yes.

yes the baby is an american citizenbut but but the mother is still not, the mother still have to go through all the necessary paper work to become a citizen, and if you can not stay in the u.s then the parents can either leave their baby to be put up for adoption ( friends , family or the state) or put the baby in a foster home or she can take the baby with you.\n   having a baby in the states doesnt mean that the parents are automatically citizens.

No. If a Mexican gets divorced he and or she will be sent to prison. If you know of a Mexican who has gotten or is planning a divorce, please notify the proper authorities.

Are you talking about legally? I am going through the same thing with my Sweetheart in South America. Your best bet to avoid any problems is to contact an immigration attorney in your area. \n\nThere are two marriage visas. There is the K-3 that is where you would marry him in Mexico and then you would have to leave him behind. Of course you can visit as much as you want . Then there is the K-1 visa. K-3 takes longer K-1 is 6-8 months depending on the country's consulate. \n\nK-1 is cheaper\nWith the K-1 you file the paperwork and follow all of the qualifications\nOnce approved he can come here to the US To get married he will have 90 days from the time to do so \n\nbest wishes to you

Depends on where you are born (or live). I was born in Wisconsin, so I am American. I have a friend who was born in Peru, but he moved hear and became a citizen of the U. S. he is American. There are plenty of white people who reside in Mexico. They are Mexicans. There are plenty of people from Mexico, who now are U.S. citizens. They are Americans. There are also plenty of people from Mexico, who moved here and haven't become citizens. They are Mexicans, and should go back home.\n\n\nLong Live Jambi

she MUST get divorced before she can marry you. no matter what country she was married in it is recognized as legal in this country. if she married without first getting divorced she will be comitting bigatry. after she is legally divorced you can marry here in the us. if she is entered without inspection then you will have to file the I-130 and all other papers they send to you plus pay fees, wait for your interview in mexico at which time she will be denied for the illegal presence, you will submit the I-601 and a hardship letter. You will return to the u.s. and she will have to stay in Mexico to wait out the rest of the process. Current wait times in Mexico for I-601 waivers are 3-6 months. This is the current process if she entered without inspection. If she entered on a visa and just overstayed her welcome then after you marry you will still file the I-130 and other papers but she will be allowed to adjust her status in country and she will not have to leave and will not have to file the I-601 waiver. Hope this helps but make sure she is divorced first.\n\nGood luck

DO NOT LISTEN TO THE OTHER ANSWERS!!!! YOUR WIFE IS NOT AUTOMATICALLY A CITIZEN SINCE YOU ARE MARRIED!!!!\nMy sister married a Brazilian.  It took them three years to get his citizenship.\nIs she in this country legally or illegally?\nStart taking photos of every stage of your relationship, make a photo album to show that you are not a fly by night marriage.\nAnd most important find a good immigration attorney.\n\nBest of luck

No.  Birthright citizenship (which needs to be abloished) applies to persons "born in the United States", and a territory does not qualify.  However, if either parent were American, citizenship would pass to the child in that fashion.

Yes, I believe it.  ANY child born in the US is a citizen just as any child born overseas to parents who are US citizens has dual citizenship.
