Your PR card could be issued for another 5 years, and you will have to complete the 1000 day period during that time.  Your previous stay will not be counted and if you fail to complete the compulsory period, you will loose your status as a Permanent resident.

Can't claim a spouse as dependent.  \n\nThe IRS has a number of tests to determine qualifying dependents.  See link at http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc354.html\n\n"The first test is the member of household or relationship test. To meet this test, a person must either live with you for the entire year as a member of your household or be related to you. The Form 1040 Instructions and Form 1040A Instructions list all relatives who meet the relationship test. Your spouse is never considered your dependent."\n\nYou might look up on IRS site if it would be beneficial for you to claim as 'Head of Household" though.

I'm a U.S. citizen and I married a foreign citizen (who was already here on a student visa).  It took us 6 months to get his green card after we applied to adjust his status to permanent resident.  It depends on what city you apply in, though.  The INS office in New York gets a lot more applications than, say, in Kansas.\nIf she's not already here, then you have to bring her on a K-1 Fiance visa, then get married, then apply to adjust her status.

My suggestion is that you contact the Canadian Consulate in New York and talk to immigration about your situation.  To my understanding of a permanent residence card you have to maintain a number of years in Canada to be eligible to write your canadian citizenship.  \n\nIf she hasn't done this, then she "MAY" and don't quote me but may have to do the process all over.  Check over the website I listed, it may answer questions you have

Depends on what class you go in as, although it is easier that many being an American because you don't need entry visas and can apply within Canada.  \n\nYou can come in as a visitor, and, before 6 months is up (I would say at 3) apply to be a long term visitor - you do this in 6 months time periods.  But - you can't leave the country and you can't work or have access to health care without paying for it and should buy travel insurance.  If you leave the country for any reason on a visitor permit, the clock stops and you would need to reapply starting at day one again.  Anyway, after a year as a visitor, you can apply for Permanent Residency, but that takes around a year, and there is no guarantee they will accept you.  You need to pass a physical, various security checks (State, FBI and military clearance - if applicable - is needed) and if you have children, you need to provide medicals, etc., on them too.  The medicals you take are done by specific doctors, not one you choose.  So basically, you need to be able to support yourself without earning money for about 2 to 3 years if you do it this way.\n\nYou can also go in on Points for the combination of education, age, whether you have both official languages, family here, that sort of thing.\n\nYou can come in as a Student, or on an employment visa and eventually apply.\n\nIf you are married to or living with a Canadian citizen, you can come in under the spousal class.  This is probably the easiest way.\n\nFor all of these you need a valid US Passport as one of your identifications (and you must have that).\n\nI know this because my common law spouse just became a permanent resident here (he's an American).

hope this help:)\n\nCanadian citizens and permanent residents living in Canada, 18 years of age or older, may sponsor close relatives or family members who want to become permanent residents of Canada. Sponsors must promise to support the relative or family member and their accompanying family members for a period of three to 10 years to help them settle in Canada.\n\npls. go to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/sponsor/index.html\n\ngood luck

As soon as your wife's I-94 expired in 2000 (6 months after she entered) she was here illegally.  She is still considered an illegal alien today, regardless of her marital status.  She needs to file for an adjustment of status with CIS.  No matter how you do it, it will be a difficult process, as she will be put into deportation proceedings.  Assuming she has no criminal background, and you are an American citizen, and the marriage is legit, she should be granted relief by the Immigration Judge.  That means she will not be deported, and she should get her green card.  \n\nThere is no pain free way to do this, you just need to contact CIS and get the ball rolling.  The sooner the better, because if she somehow comes to the attention of Immigration or other law enforcement, her problems and headaches will just be compounded and the legitimacy of her claims will be questioned that much more.

To claim someone as a dependent on your federal tax form, the person must live with you for 6 months or more and if no one else is paying for more than 1/2 of what it costs to support them. It does not matter who has custody or guardianship, that is not a requirement to claim someone as a dependent. You do not need the permission of the person who has legal custody. In my state, we can also do this on state tax forms. You might want to read over your state tax forms and if it is unclear whether or not you qualify to claim this person as a dependent then, you should consult a tax specialist.

There are two legal ways to bring your wife over.\n\nFirst and the officially approved way is to apply for a Finance visa (K1 visa).  This is a very slow process and can take months to get approved.  Once it is approved, she is free to come over to marry you here within a 3 month period of arriving.\n\nA second method is to have your fiancee come over on a tourist visa.  Once here, you can marry her and apply for an "adjustment of status."  This is more difficult to obtained and can be refused.  However, while they are making a determination, she is free to legally remain in the United States but it NOT permitted travel out of the country.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!  If she leaves for ANY reason without first obtaining permission from immigration, she WILL be refused reentry into the United States.\n\nPlease note this process if very costly and takes approximately 2 years to get her permanent resident alien card (green card).

The current wait time for spouses of green card holders to get their permanent residency is 4-5 years.\n\nThis is because the senate approves only a limited amount of visas be give to spouses of green card holders and over the years a huge backlog was created.\n\nIf I were you I'd just wait until I'd get my US citizenship and then sponsor my spouse. There is no quota for spouses of US citizens.\n\nSince your spouse is Canadian, he/she can come in the US under a TN status so it's no that critical

You may apply the minute you marry, It takes 4-5 month to get the temporary Green card, then another 2 years to get permanent green card. then after 5 years the spouse can apply for citizenship.

Since you married to him and wherever he is citizen of you will be eligible for that countries residence and also citizenship after a few yrs in your case i don't know after how many yrs but that's how generally it works! Its up to you to take that or not its all your choice!! Your eligible but your citizenship comes first!

Green card as a result of marriage ... I think that takes about 5-7 years.

Well I'm assuming your are a US citizen and wanting to sponsor your spouse to gain US permanent residency. I'm also assuming that your spouse is already in the US under a non-immigrant status and you are already married. In that case you need to file the following forms:\n\n1) I-130 to sponsor his/her residency\n2) I-485 to change/register his/her permanent residency\n3) I-765 for a work permit (this only if him/her wants to work while waiting for the paperwork to process, once a green card is received a work permit is not needed)\n\nYou can find the forms and explanations here:\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/index.htm
