It doesn't matter if he stayed for a short time in the US, what matters is not ot stay outside of the US for longer than 6 monthes, some experts say 1 year but no body knows when the new law will be applied so to make sure, he should not stay outside of the US for more than 6 monthes.

If you decide to get married, and your boyfriend was admitted and inspected when he entered the U.S., he can apply for Adjustment of Status, and get his Green Card. However, if he entered without inspection, he cannot adjust his status. The only exception that exists is that if before May 2001 an 1) Employment-based Petition; 2) Labor Certification; or 3) Relative Petition was filed on his behalf. \n\nWhat do you do if he cannot adjust? You may marry him, but then he'll have to go home and file a waiver to come back (due to his unlawful presence - 3/10 year bar).\n\nIn order to advise on SSN, one should know his exact immigration history and status. In general, one should have a legal status to apply for a SSN.

Information about visiting the US is found here: http://www.uscis.gov/graphics/services/tempbenefits/BusPleasure.htm\n\nA lawful permanent resident is a foreign national who has been granted the privilege of permanently living and working in the United States. If you want to become a lawful permanent resident based on the fact that you have a relative who is a citizen of the United States or a relative who is a lawful permanent resident, you must go through a multi-step process.

Without knowing your particular details, there is no way I could give you a proper answer. You ought to check out the immigration website for more information.\nThat said, what I can tell you is this: please make sure your paperwork is complete. Any missing information will slow things down and may even raise some suspicions no matter how unwarranted. Also, it can be very tiring having to wait for what seems like ever and so the temptation to phone immigration to try and find out the status of your file is everpresent. A few friends of ours who have undergone this process have told us not ever to phone immigration on a regular basis as they do not appreciate having people bug them. Government is usually slow but they do get the job done as quickly as they can.

Yes, once you obtain Legal Permanent Residency you can naturalize.  The process for obtaining LPR status isn't that difficult to follow.\n\nSee CIS at www.DHS.gov.

First of all, you would have to get your green card first and that can take years.  You would have to prove a lot of information, provide pictures etc.  Then once you receive your temporary green card, you will have to go back after two years and prove that you're still married...then once you get your permanent residency you  have to wait three years...then the naturalization process takes FOREVER.  The BCIS or whatever it's called these days, is extremely unorganized.  If you get divorced after the two  year probation period, that's usually 'ok' but if it's before then, it's usually problematic.  Good luck!  I hope you're not getting married in order to become a naturalized citizen...it's just not worth the agony.

first contact USCIS.gov and take a look at the immigration forms and fees for applying.  I'm sure you fall into a paticular category so I can't be anymore direct.

You can apply for "adjustment of status" and get a conditional residency and work permit while you wait for your green card.\n\nAs a parent of a US citizen, you should be able to get it.\n\nCheck with the nearest Immigration office.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/index.htm\n\nThe above site is your source for offical immigration information, so that should be your first stop.  You can also find there the numbers/addresses of local offices.

Technically there is an employer sponsorship option, where your employer can sponsor you for Permanent Residency. However in practice I found it worthless. They will have to provide copies of advertisements they posted for a period of 6 months trying to find a US citizen to do the job, and list the reasons why they didn't hire anyone. Also getting a company to file and pay for the paperwork is nearly impossible - they will also have to state that as a sponsor they will reimburse the Govnt for any costs incurred through Social Security etc if you should be out of work for any reason. Your best bet is to marry a US citizen and file with your spouse!

I seriously JUST got off the phone with the immigration people and was asking them a bunch of questions about this. If you applied for permanent residency, you probably used the "Adjustment package" which contains several forms. One of them is the I 131 which is a travel document. If you didn't use the whole package and just sent the Perm Res thing, you need to send in the I 131 form and wait for it to be approved. Once it's approved, you can come and go as you please while the Perm Res is pending.
