If it very difficult if you do it the right way.. The best, easiest way is to learn Spanish, become a Catholic if you are not already one, go t Mexico and then come up to the U.S.... Sneak in!.. Get to a Catholic church and the church will hide you in ones of their halfway houses that is off limits to the police and the INS and then they can get you a false ID card.. the other way is once you are in the U.S. via Mexico, etc, go to any of the hundreds of welfare offices, work-related offices, etc and bribe the Mexican gal or guy who is working there. That is how thousands of driver's licenses, green cards, social welfare, etc papers are gotten..

You have to apply to the American Ambassy for a Green Card.  Only way of getting work in the States.   It will take time and you'll have loads of questions to answer.  More so these days  I would imagine.

Try applying for a visa or a Green card at an American embassy or consulate. Then you can apply for citizenship, in which you will have to pass a test.

Apply for a K-1 visa (Fiance(e)).  Check out the website for information that you will need.  Once approved, she will be allowed to come to the US to get married.  Once married you then apply for a permanent visa (green card).  Check out the website and be prepared to spend some money.

I have some knowledge of how the INS works, but I've never petitioned for an adopted child, so my advice is kind of non-specific.  What I had to do, I did all with books and the internet and without lawyers, for the most part.\n\nMany sites on the internet offer packets of forms and instructions for applying for different visas and adjustment of status.  The reasons these are worth the money is that they provide clearer instructions than the INS does, and a clear listing of what forms and documents you need to have a complete package.  And some sites may actually have a package designed for your exact situation.\n\nThere's an immigration section on about.com, and a forum for questions like these.  That helped me a lot.\n\nDon't know your exact situation, but I'm thinking that your wife's status either (a) needs to be already adjusted to PR status-green card, or (b) the applications for both wife and son s/b done at the same time.  No way is the son going to get the GC before the mom.\n\nForms should be typewritten and very legible. Make copies and put them in a well-organized binder, so that you have them all at your fingertips when you bring the binder with you to any interview.\n\nThe same goes for supporting documents.  The more supporting documents, the better.  The goal here is to bury them with as many suppporting documents as possible, because this kind of tangible evidence of your marriage's legitimacy cannot be ignored. With a marriage-based GC, much of what you need is things showing bills in both names, property held in both names, joint bank accounts, etc.  Other than birth certificates, I'm not sure what you need for adoptive son.  Probably much the same, because the legitimacy of his right to be with you, the citizen, still hinges on the legitimacy of your marriage to his mom.\n\nFor each fee that you submit to the INS, pay with a money order FROM THE BANK NOT THE POST OFFICE.  The reason is, if you ever have to prove that the INS cashed it, you need a copy from the issuing agency.  Banks have to compete and they can find the proof quickly and send it to you.  The Post Office will take forever.  Btw, ask for this evidence/proof about one month after you submit your package to INS, so that it's already in your binder at interview time.\n\nAll correspondence should be sent Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, even if its to a PO Box. Private companies like Fedex won't deliver to a PO Box, but the Post ofice will, and they'll get a signature too.\n\nBe prepared to have your interview on very short notice.  All the timetables on the internet told us we would have to wait a year between submission date and interview date.  We had our interview 6 months after submission date, which NOT coincidentally was 2 weeks shy of our 2nd anniversary, which would have made my wife's GC permanent from the interview date if they had waited.\n\nWhen it came time to apply to make my wife's GC permanent, we submitted a ton of supporting documents, all the forms we needed, plus copies of everything that had been in the original petition for her temporary GC.  It was thick like a phone book.  Timetables for this said they were backlogged and would take two years to process our application.  But this "bury them with documentation" strategy worked in our case.  We got the approval letter for the permanent GC 13 months after we submitted the package, and never had a 2nd interview.\n\nUse lawyers sparingly.  What I did was save up my questions until I had about an hour's worth, then go to a lawyer for a $50 consult.  Lawyers can't help you at the interview, they can't even talk during the interview, but they don't want you to know this.  Mostly, they just have underlings type up the forms for you and charge you a fat fee.  If you are not good at navigating forms and bureaucracy, this could be worth it for you.\n\nGood luck.

There are several ways, but unfortunately it will be difficult.\n\n1) File for refugee status.  If you can prove that his life is in danger in his home country, he can get a visa that is on track to green card and US citizenship status.\n\n2) Help him be accepted to a US university or other educational institute.  They will support his student visa, and then once he is in the US and graduates, he will be automatically eligible to work ion the US for a year in his field of study.  After that, his company can sponsor him for a visa to stay longer.\n\n3) Help him find a job.  If a US company will sponsor him to do a job that they can't find a US citizen to do, they can sponsor him for a visa or even a green card.  I know people who have done this for telecommunications infrastructure development and I know someone who did this as a cook in an Irish Pub (in the US I live in an affluent area and there aren't a lot of cooks around).  If you have the money, you can even found your own business with an emphasis on doing business with Afghanistan, and then support him for a visa as you need and Afghan expert with contacts.  Maybe you could export handicrafts?  It would be relatively simple to set something up and you could probably find a supplier on Chicken Street pretty fast.  You don't have to very successful, just enough to justify his help (even as a start-up consultant)\n\n4) Bring him to the US on a tourist visa.  This is normally hard to get for an Afghan, but if you invite him (officially) and provide a guarantee for any expenses he incurs, then he should get it.  I know an Afghan who came to the US that way.  Once he is here, he can try looking for a job that will sponsor him.\n\n5) Hire an immigration lawyer.  They can often find ways that no one has ever thought of. Even if you just get the money together to talk to a top immigration lawyer on the phone for an hour or two, they usually deliver.  You can find immigration lawyers and some information about them at: http://lawyers.martindale.com/\n\nGood luck!

Try the adoption agency that handled the adoption. Their must be adoption papers that your parents were given when you were adopted to make it legal. If you were legally adopted then you should be a U.S. citizen and not need a green card. I would definitely start with the adoption company. They may be able to tell you where you were born and that would help confine your search to a smaller area. \n\nBest of luck to you.

Does your fiance have any papers, wherther authentic or not? He can try and acquire a social security number; even though it might not be too legal, it's probably his only option. I know an illegal immigrant that uses a false s.s. number, and he even managed to get a credit and buy a house. \nFirst, he DOES have to see a lawyer because a lawyer might know how he can get a marriage licence without any documents. After you get married, he can easily get a green card just by filling out form N400 (I think, i'm not sure). If its not that form, it is one of the forms that can be found on www.uscis.gov\nYou definitely need to consult a lawyer, and you should look over the website I mentioned above for more information. By getting married to you he will definitely acquire legal documents, but I am not sure on how the procedure of marrying him would run.\nGood luck

Was your green card a conditional green card (with a 2 year expiration date)? If so, you will have to start all over again and have your new spouse apply for you. If so, I highly suggest that you hire an immigration attorney (NOT AN "IMMIGRATION CONSULTANT"!), as you will have a very difficult time explaining why your first marriage didn't last long enough for you to get your green card.\n\nIf it was a permanent green card (with a 10 year expiration date), you have not lost your residence status. You simply file a Form I-90, which has a $260 filing fee.\n\nYou can download the form at the URL listed below. You mail it to:\n\nU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services\nP.O. Box 54870\nLos Angeles, CA 90054-0870\n\nThey will send you a letter telling you to go to have your "biometrics" (fingerprints) taken at an Application Support Center. Sometime after that happens, you will receive your new card in the mail. Make sure you take your old card with you when you go to the ACS for the fingerprints.

There are many, many ways...\n\nTo get a green card specifically, you can\n - marry an American Citizen  or\n - participate in the Green Card Lottery (Diversity Program), your chances per year are about 0.5%  or\n - enter the US legally on a work Visa such as an H1B.  For that Visa you need a bachelor's degree or equivalent working experience.  Many people believe this Visa is just for Computer Specialists.  It just needs to be a specialty occupation, for example you could be the chef in a famous Indonesian Restaurant.  Then you need to find an employer that will sponsor you, and that can prove that no american employee is available to do your job.\n - If you have a Master's degree and have considerable achievements in your field of work (pulications for example), you can get a Visa or Green Card.\n\nThere are other ways, that likely do not apply.\n\nI am in the US for 7+ years now, and I am waiting for my Green Card.  It is not easy.\n\nBut, on the other hand, what would it take for an American to get Legal Permanent Residence in Indonesia?  Compared to other countries, at least there is a process.

Hmm, \n\nWell, you'll have to go through the process to immigrate. Unfortunately, the easiest way to immigrate to the United States in your case, would probably be through a Fiancee Visa. \n\nThere are other options that you can pursue, such as a Work Visa or Student Visa, depending on whether you are willing to work or go to school here. \n\nI'm assuming that since you said you are English, that you are either from England, or perhaps Australia. The type of Visa you can get also has a lot to do with where you were born, in relation to where you want to go. \n\nIt may sound harsh, and I do not mean it to, but people from Third World Countries such as the Philippines have a very small chance of ever getting a Work Visa, and usually either come over on a Student/Fiancee Visa. \n\nYou do have many options available, bepending on what route you wish to take. But make sure that if you pursue the marriage option, that it is something you both want.\n\nThese sites can be very helpful:\n\nhttp://www.visajourney.com - A forum maintained by users, all with some sort of experience about going through the immigration process.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/ - The United States Immigration Services Homepage. \n\nHope this helps!\n\n-A.R.

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.
