Freedom is practically the first word uttered by American babies! Of course you can travel around the world! SHE"S AN AMERICAN, we pretty much do what we want, LOL. Have a nice trip, just don't let her forget to come back if she loves USA!

The visa waiver is exactly what it says it is: a way for the citizens of certain countries to enter the US for up to 90 days for business or tourism without having to apply for a visa.  If you overstay or attempt to adjust status, then you are subject to all the rest of US immigration laws, part of which provide for the detention and deportation of people who forget to go home.

You first off need a passport. You are allowed to come here to visit without a visa.  I believe once you marry you then apply for citizenship.  I don't how long that takes be its not sudden.  I know they check your records before allowing you to become a citizen.  Search on the web they're government sites that can get in touch with someone that can answer all your questions. I would suggest you talk to someone about this before you come.  We are very strick since 9/11.

There is not enough information to answer your question.\n\nIf you want to Marry a US Citizen he or she has to obtain a Fiancee Visa and you need to get married withing 90 days of the filing of the Visa.\n\nAfter you are legally in the United States of America you can then start the process to become a US Permanent Resident.\n\nYou don't get automatic US Permantent Residency just by marriage of a US Citizen. \n\nKeep in mind, to get a Fiance Visa, You need to leave the United States of America and enter again legally with your Fiance Visa.\n\nThe Visa and the SSN are not related in any way.

They don't become American citizens instantly. In order for them to become U.S citizens, they have to be living in the states with their citizen spouse for more than 3 years without leaving the states for trips of 6months or longer.\n\nLearn more about it, visit the United States Citizens and Immigrations Service at www.uscis.gov\n\nAugust 14, 2001 (Rev.)\n\nINS Implements the “K” Nonimmigrant Visa Provision of the LIFE Act\n\nWASHINGTON –– To reduce the separations immediate family members of U.S. citizens may experience while waiting abroad for an immigrant visa, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) is implementing a new K nonimmigrant visa provision, which was published as an interim rule in today’s Federal Register.  \n\nThe rule expands the K visa status, currently available to fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens, to include the spouse of a U.S. citizen, who is waiting abroad for an immigrant visa, and the spouse’s children.  This will allow them to enter the United States as nonimmigrants, re-unite with their family here, and then apply for immigrant status while in the country.  It is one of several immigration benefit provisions created by the Legal Immigration Family Equity Act (LIFE Act) enacted last December.\n\nUnder this new nonimmigrant visa classification, spouses of U.S. citizens may be granted K-3 nonimmigrant status, and the spouse’s unmarried children (under 21 years of age) may be granted K-4 nonimmigrant status.  Obtaining a K-3/4 visa is not required, however.  Spouses of U.S. citizens and their children may skip applying for a K visa and directly obtain their immigrant visa abroad from the Department of State.\n\nFor those who wish to take advantage of this new provision, to be eligible for a K-3 nonimmigrant visa, an applicant MUST:\n\n    * Be the spouse of a U.S. citizen;\n    * Have a Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) filed on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen spouse, that is pending;\n    * Have a Form I-129F (Petition for Alien Fiancé(e)) completed and submitted on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen spouse to:\n\n      U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service\n      P.O. Box 7218\n      Chicago, IL 60680-7218\n      (Note: The INS must approve the Form I-129F before the beneficiary becomes eligible to apply for the K Visa from the U.S. consulate abroad.); and\n    * Submit a completed Form I-693 (Medical Examination) when he/she appears at the consulate to apply for the K-3 visa from the Department of State. \n\nTo be eligible for a K-4 nonimmigrant visa, an applicant does not need a separate Form I-130 or a Form I-129F filed on his/her behalf.  The K-4 applicant MUST:\n\n    * Be an unmarried child (under 21 years of age) of a K-3 visa applicant or holder;\n    * Submit a completed Form I-693 (Medical Examination) when he/she appears at the consulate to apply for the K-4 visa. \n\nApplying for Immigrant Status\nThe K-3/4 nonimmigrant classification does not provide immigrant status.  To obtain immigrant status --once in the United States -- a K-3 nonimmigrant must file a Form I-485 (Application for Adjustment to Permanent Residence).  A K-4 nonimmigrant must have a Form I-130 filed on his/her behalf by his/her U.S. citizen parent/stepparent and must file a Form I-485.  K-3/4 nonimmigrants will become lawful permanent residents and receive their Green Card when both the Form I-130 petition and their Form I-485 application have been approved.\n\nK-3/4 non-immigrants may elect to apply for an immigrant visa instead of adjustment of status and may wait in the United States until they must appear at the consulate for their visa interview.\n\nEmployment Authorization\nK-3/4 nonimmigrants may also apply for authorization to work in the United States while they wait for their immigrant status.  To do so, they must submit a completed Form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) along with the $100 application fee to the INS post office box (P.O. Box) addr

The amount of time you can stay in the US is decided by the immigration official at the point of entry. The maximum that you can be granted is 6 months at one time. Also you can not be in the US for more then 6 months a year.So if you come and stay 6 month you must be out of the US for 6 months before you return.\n\nThe time the visa is valid is NOT the time that you can stay in the US ,rather, it is the time that you can use the visa to enter , so the expiration of the visa represents the last day you can enter the US.\n\n\nI realize you must be frustrated with this but immigration rules exist to protect american citizens. It is possible that she gets addmited again althoug the 6 months have not passed but it could be difficult. She must have a good reason.\n\nYou must ask yourself, why would a person come here and stay for so many months as tourist ? \n\nIn all likelyhood she will be admited again for 6 months but there is no gurantee. It mostly depends on luck , whatever mood the officer is in ... like it or not it's the truth\n\nIf she gets less then 6 months you still have options, you can file for an extension with the immigration office.

It is a crime for noncitizens to _enter_ the U.S. without a visa, so by implication, it is a crime to _be_ in the U.S. without a visa.

Yes, U.S. citizens don't need a visa as we are neighbours but anyone else in the world is required to have a visa or passport.

If the two of you have not met in person, you would be wise to visit each others countries first and get to know each other in person before making plans for marriage.  Hopefully it will work out for you, but you cannot know until you have spent time together in person, and really gotten to know each other.\n\nI agree, get a tourist visa first.  Seems you are putting the cart before the horse here.  Then, when the time comes to apply for immigration status, you will have everything covered and be ready to go.\n\nGood luck!

Listen to Yak Rider, above.  Your husband is an intending immigrant.  He is not eligible for a non-immigrant visa.  End of story.  Stop asking.

Sure - a green card has nothing to do with marital status, it only affects a person's ability to legally reside and work in the US.

Depends what sort of visa. For a permanent residents visa or a spouse's visa it can take up to 2 years.\n\nYou can get a tourist visa in a few weeks.
