First, you must apply for permanent residency, and then be a permanent resident for 5 years, at which point you can apply to naturalize. The details vary greatly depending on your situation, so I would just take a look at the site below.

While I cannot assist you with the legal status stuff; in order to prove that you are a resident of the State of California, you need to show something that proves your residence.  For example, a telephone or electric bill with your name on it.\n\nThere's also some type of law passed saying that if you attended high school in California and graduated within the state, you can file a waiver for that.\n\nBut for more details, read-up on the material in your SFSU Bulletin.

Yes.  As a NY resident, you're required to file a NY state tax return, and as someone working in Vermont, \n\n"You are required to file a Vermont income tax return if:\n• You are required to file a Federal income tax return; and\n• You earned or received $100 or more in Vermont income, or\n• You earned gross income of $1,000 or more."

you can't\nmost states are  no fault, and the only way to contest them would be for money and child support / custody, but once papers are filed, the dissolution of marriage ( as it's known in legal terms ) will be granted, it might take longer if it's contested, but eventually who ever filed will get the judgment and you cannot stop it. He also does not have to give a reason ( hence the term no fault ).\n\nNew York Has A Version of No-Fault Divorce\n\nNew York does not have no-fault divorce as such. Instead, New York's version of a no-fault divorce requires that the spouses live apart from one another for at least a year before a divorce can be filed. The parties must execute a Separation Agreement, which must be filed with the local County Clerk before the one-year period begins to run. The spouse suing for divorce must prove that he or she has substantially performed the terms of the Separation Agreement to obtain a divorce. If you obtain a divorce based on a written Separation Agreement, you don't have to sign any papers or give any testimony about reasons for the divorce. In other words, no personal allegations against either spouse are necessary. There are other grounds for divorce in New York which are explained below.\n\nThere are several steps that must be completed before you can file for a divorce in New York State.\n\nResidency Requirements\n\nFirst, you must satisfy the residency requirements set forth in Domestic Relations Law §230. To file for a divorce in New York you must satisfy one of the following residency requirements:\n\n1)The marriage ceremony was performed in New York State and either spouse was a resident of the state at the time of the commencement of the action and resided continuously in this state for one year immediately before the action began;\n\nOR\n\n2)The couple lived as husband and wife in this state and either one is a resident thereof and resided in this state for a continuous period of one year immediately prior to the commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n3)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and either party is a resident thereof and lived in this state for a continuous period of one year prior to commencement of the action;\n\nOR\n\n4)The grounds for divorce occurred in this state and both parties are New York residents at the time the action is commenced;\n\nOR\n\n5)If you and your spouse were married outside of New York and you never lived together as husband and wife in this state and the grounds for divorce did not occur in this state -- either you or your spouse must presently be a resident of New York State and have resided continuously in the state for at least two years prior to bringing this case.\n\n\nServing the Summons and Complaint\n\nSecond, you must ensure that the court has jurisdiction over your spouse (the Defendant) by arranging for him or her to be served with a Summons and Complaint or a Summons With Notice.\n\nStep 1: Your divorce action begins when you purchase an index number and file the summons with the County Clerk’s office.\n\nStep 2: Your spouse must then be served with a copy of the summons by being personally given the document. It is important to determine where your spouse is located. If he or she lives in New York State, the server must be a resident of New York State, over eighteen years of age, and CANNOT be a party to the action (this means you may not serve your spouse with the summons).\n\nIf your spouse is presently residing outside of New York State you must still ensure that he or she is personally served with the summons. It is preferable to have this service accomplished by a New York resident, although this might be costly. If you use a non-New York State resident to serve your spouse outside of the State, the server must be a qualified attorney, solicitor or the equivalent in that state or nation. Otherwise the person must be authorized to serve papers pursuant to the laws of that state.\n\n \n\nThe person

This website has answers on CCW (Carry Concealed Weapon) permits for every state in the US, and whether those states will issue permits to out of state residents.   The URL directs you to the New York compiliation of laws and understandings of the law in NY state.\n\nFrom the website www.packing.org\n\n"New York State requires a license for simple possession as well as for concealed carry. The Court Of Appeals ruled that restrictions on carry licenses, while administrative in nature, are allowable. Premise licenses as well as carry licenses restricted for sporting purposes are near shall issue, although difficult to obtain in certain counties (and the City of New York). Unrestricted carry licenses are easy to obtain or near impossible, depending on which county you apply in."

You're asking two very different questions.  Once you're a legal immigrant, unless you're a felon, and if you've lived here for at least five years, you need only basic English understanding to become a  US Citizen.  However, if you're an illegal immigrant, you can't be a US Citizen.  You see; an illegal immigrant breaks the law by being here illegally; therefore, unless he or she becomes a legal immigrant, such as a US Resident, there is no way for him or her to become a US Citizen.  Furthermore, when people say that it's hard to become a US Citizen, if they are legal, they usually mean that it's hard to pass the written and oral English Test required for the Citizenship Certificate.

In order to get a legal job in New York, you first have to apply for a work permit (green card) and that can take up to 2 years to receive. Good luck!

Back in the old days, they came here by boats, resisting the opression from England and they built the country from ground up.  Being the land of opporunity, a lot of immigrants came to work and live here.  There are several of way that you can become a legal immigrants.\n\n1. If you are born in United States, regardless of your parents citizenship, you become the citizen of United States.\n\n2. If your close relative is a US citizen (Parents, Siblings), you can apply with IRS to become an immigrant.\n\n3. US lets you file for immigration in the case that you cannot go back to your country anymore because of political issues (Political Asylum).\n\n4. Every year, US issue a Visa Lottery to different countries where interested citizens of those countries can file paperwork and picked randomly to become immigrants.\n\nThose are the only ways that I know.

When I lived in NY you had to take a course, fill out an application, get finger printed and pay a fee. The best thing to do is call the local law enforcement department and find out who gives the classes in your area. They explain all the details in the class. Be careful though, the permit isn't good in some areas around NY City (unless they've changed it since I moved).

I think she has to be a resident first but if she is a minor he can petition for her to become that.\n\nYou want to check the immigration web page.  I heard something about minor children automatically becoming 'derivative' citizens, but I don't know much about it.

I'm not really familiar with the education levels you mentioned, but I would suggest that you might want to apply to Baruch College, http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/--the business branch of City University of New York.  Your practical background in IT might be of interest.  I wouldn't worry about your age.  Many students in US colleges and CUNY in particular are a bit older than "college age."  You might well find work in IT in the city.  As to cost, NY is an expensive place to live, but Baruch is relatively inexpensive.  You could live in one of the "outer" boroughs--Queens or Brooklyn--where apartments are a little less expensive and where there are subways to take you into Manhattan.  The neighborhoods of Sunnyside and Woodside in Queens come to mind as possible places to live.  I believe that if you are accepted, CUNY may be able to help with or at least guide you as to how to get a visa.

You will have to establish permanent residency in that state, and every state will have different policies for this. Look into the states official policy on establishing residency. My guess is that many states will require you to have lived there for 2 or 3 years first.

That's actually a few questions. Let me see if I can sort out some of them for you.\nPlease keep in mind that I am not the law and all I am about to say is my best guess after 25 years of living here.\nIn Alaska there are several definitions of Resident.It varies depending on what you want to do.\n Register to vote, 6 months.\n Hunt or fish, 1 calender year. \nApply for the Alaska PFD 1 year.\nApply for State land lotteries 1 year.\nThey are all a bit different so a person needs to check with the appropriate agency.\n\nRemote Land Parcels are available and costs vary.I'm pretty sure the residency requirement is 1 year. None that I'm aware of are free even if you apply and are selected.\nhttp://www.dnr.state.ak.us/mlw/landsale/\n\nI don't know anything about not paying taxes if you agree to move here and develop a parcel but anything is possible.\nWhile there currently is no state income tax(the politicos are trying to change this as I type) we still pay taxes on about everything else. i.e. personal and real property,gas,hunting fishing ect.. Sales tax varies by community just like every place else.\n\nTry to keep in mind that there are reasons that Alaska is the largest state in the union and has fewer residents than most small cities in the lower 48.About 600,000 people live here total. Mostly that reason is COLD UNIHABITABLE ACRES millions of them. \nIf you look at a AK map it's essy to see where most people live. And to live there you have to do ALL of the same things you do anywhere else. Except maybe put up with as many neighbors.\nI hope that helps. I know it doesn't answer all of your questions but if you go to the state link below they should be able to help you with the rest.\n\nD

In the state of New York the age of consent is 17, and has been for a number of years. Which just means that it is legal for a 17-year old to be sexually active.\n\nBut, in New York you still have to be 18 to be considered an adult. This did not change to 17. You need to be 18 to vote, purchase tabacco, serve your country, obtain credit without a co-signer, and live on your own without obtaining an emmancipation.\n\nBut, you can be tried as an adult before you turn 18. So long as the court feel that you were acting as an adult when you committed the crime.\n\nHope this answers your question.
