Green card: I am currently immigrating to the U.S from the U.K?

well it's a bit o catch 22. To go to the US you need a visa (nonimmigrant or immigrant). Now to get a non-immigrant visa you need to demonstrate that you don't intend to immigrate there. The moment you apply for any type of immigration you become ineligible for any type of non-immigrant visa and also for the visa waiver program (if you qualify for it in the first place).\n\nNow suppose that you have a tourist visa or are a student and you go to the US and say get married after a few months, then you can file for a change of status there as your original intent was not remain there. Now beware that this could be tricky, if they discover somehow that you lied in the first and you intended to stay all along they could deny your application.\n\nIn your case, since you got married outside US, you must wait for your paperwork to get processed before going there (for reasons described above). If going to the US was so important to you, you should've applied for a K-1 fiance visa and gotten married in the US (that's the purpose of the visa), then, you could've filled for a change of status in the US. If you decided to get married and apply outside US then being there must've not been so important to you.\n\nIt's hard to say how long your application will take (it depends on the country and how busy they are) so the most you can do is keep calling them and hope for the best.\n\ngood luck

These are good answers, although they assume you already have a permanent resident card. Is that your case?

I believe that once you have indefinite leave to remain your marital status can change without affecting your immigration status. With respect to applying for nationality, you must have lived in the UK for five years - if you are married this is reduced to three years. Since presumably you are still technically married it may be that you can go ahead and apply anyway, but I strongly recommend you to consult a solicitor who deals in immigration matters - the law is quite complex and it's difficult to be sure of your situation without being able to ask you questions and check your documents.

Your status (as stated above) will not change and will remain the same as the day he walked out that door! Additionally, If you have reached the age of majority (18 yoa) your status will rely 100% on your actions!! not your fathers!\n\nBy the way...where are you now and what is your immigration classification? From your statement, you should of also receive your Green Card as a Family Preference Alien...are you just trying to get a free ticket to citizenship??

Contact the local American consulate and ask them. I can tell you one thing, though: you're not a citizen automatically just because your wife is, but you do qualify for a green card.

I am marrying a Brit, and its the same process.  Go to the Immigration web site and read up on the K-1 visa.   http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis  This is the  only official site.  Plenty of people will try to give advice that they think is accurate when laws concerning the k-1 are very distinct from other types of immigration.  Its a lengthy, costly  process,(as are all Immigration processes) and depending on when the visa numbers are availible, is when he will be able to be here legally.  You don't have to buy any program.  But having legal assistance with the forms or an advocacy/ charitable group (Some Catholic Social Services do this) is a plus.  The forms are not confusing, but you will needed cashiers checks or money orders for the fees accompanying each form,, 2 passport photos taken of both of you within thirty days of the application, you will need a biographical for each of you with supporting documentation.  The I-29F,  A copy of his I-94 if he has entered legally, copies of your birthcertificates, ID, socials, Passports, divorce certificates if you were married, death certificate if you were  widowed, and or any other supporting docummentation listed on the forms. From Mexico he will need a cartilla (Mexico's Army service) or a waiver.  Every document and every money order or cashiers checks, should be photocopied in triplicate along with photos.  The reason it is in triplicate is so that you always have two copies of your paperwork.  One you carry with you to interviews and one put away safely.  You could also send one copy to your fiance, in case he needs it.  Generally his interview would be held in Ciudad Juarez unless he is already here.  If he is here w/o inspection or overstayed a visa or entered illegally he may have to pay a fine or may have to stay out of the country 10 years.  If he has been deported or under deportation, you will need a lawyer to perhaps get a pardon with Immigration.  This will also depend on his background check.  Good Luck

1) Is your husband employed by the UK?\n2) Are you working?\n3) Will your husband immigrate to US or will you immigrate to UK?\n\nIf your husband does not work for the US and he is not immigrating to the US then he does not have to file US taxes.\n\nIf you earned any income in 2005, then you must file.\n\nIf your husband is in the process of immigrating to the US then he can get a taxpayer ID number (TID) for now (equivalent of SSN but only for tax purposes).  With this TID, you can file a joint return but read the pamphlet (or go online) to determine what gets reported (if you husband is working for a non US company).

if you are a Lawful Permanent Resident you already have a green card!

You need to become a Uk citizen first.

If you are a permanent resident of the United States you need to bring your green card or other proof of your right to enter the United States.  You also need to bring your current, valid passport, along with a Canadian visa if you need one.  You can find out if you need a visa by either contacting the consulate or embassy of your home country or Canada.  The fact that you are entitled to reside in the United States does not mean that you will be allowed to enter Canada.

It is certainly possible ,however, it will be more difficult since you may be required to prove that you didn't come in the US with the purpose of changing you status.\nYou can file for a change of status with USCIS but I'd wait at least 1-2 months after your arrival to the US to ask for a status change, this way, it'll look less suspicious.\n\nI think using a lawyer would increase your chances significantly.

Are you talking about GOING TO the UK, or coming from the UK to go to the States?  Be a little more specific, honey, we're all a little confused.

There won't be any problem, the immigration system will allow you to sponsor him through a visa. They will background check him though. This will take alot of time, with all the budget cuts. It is mostly red-tape and hassle that you will experience. You would actually do better if you went to the UK right now, and did it there.

It's an absolute nightmare.  There are a limited number of visas granted to British citizens each year, and they are usually snapped up within 36 hours of being available.  Usually big corporations get them for their UK employees who are working in the US.\n\nIf it's at all feasible, he might consider going to Canada first.  It is much easier for a Brit to emigrate to Canada, and it is much easier for a Canadian to emigrate to the US.\n\nGood luck.
