Where is your granddaughter's husband from? Is she a US citizen? Do you want him to come here? Need more details, please.

I don't know where these people get their info.  Yes, you can sponsor your sister as long as you are over 21, make enough money to support her (at least on paper) and sign the forms to take responsibility for her (the application).  My husband's family has done this.  His sister was a citizen first, she sponsored her mom (went really fast), she sponsored her husband (so so quick) and then the sister sponsored her brother.  It's still in the works.  I'd say child/parent goes faster than brother/sister, but really it all takes about the same length of time.  Only husband/wife goes really fast.

Sorry, there aren't too many options.\nAbout the only thing I can think of is to set him up with one of your friends & then he can marry her instead.\nOther than than... he can apply for re-entry after he's deprted. He'll probably have to wait at least 10 years though since he's being deported.

not unless the US supports the laws of your country.. you might nail him for bigamy..that is illegal here. But you have to ask yourself.. is it really worth it?..True in the US you can sue anyone for anything. no guarantees you'll get anything out of it.. but you can.. look it it this way. HE is some one Else's problem now.. out of your hair!

Nope sorry she isn't a legal citizen just cause she married one.\n\nShe still has to apply for citizenship and go through all the same paperwork and red tape that everyone else does, but in addition to that she and her new husband get surprise visits from the Immigration and Naturalization Service to help prove that it is a real marriage and not a sham just to get her a green card.

Good answer, Asia!  The best bet is always to go to the official websites, NOT the "we'll help you get her over here" companies.  Check back on the uscis site periodically, since laws/rules change periodically.  You'll want to make sure you have the most current information available.\n\nGood luck!

Quite honestly, the long way would be that your husband (hopefully a citizen) files a petition with Immigration and declares himself as the sponsor to get your mother-in-law in the US. The average wait time for such case can take years. However, another strategy that I am hearing a lot is to file a petition with immigration as a nanny for your children. \n\nThe best answer is by an immigration attorney. Ask around in your friend circle and find a good attorney.

I suppose would have to contact the nearest embassy for that. There are many in the US. The link below has info on them.

Even if she has lawful Permanent Resident or US citizen status, it's not likely that she could apply to bring you to the U.S.  \n\nForm I-130 (http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/files/i-130.pdf) states that application can only be made for immediate family members, i.e. NOT grandparents, aunts, uncles, nephews or nieces.

My friend was in hungry and now she takes every dime and owns his life. its really sad how they turned out. i hope the best for you and your wife and hope its true

Sorry to here about that.  I am a Canadian and married to an American woman for over 8 years.  Still love her and not abusive.  As far as I know, he can be deported if all he has is a green card.  That is not citizenship in this country or even in Canada.  It permits you to work, etc. here but it does not protect you from exportation.  Your daughter or you signed a promise to support order for however many years.  I think it's 10.  You may not want to make him too upset till you find out more on that one as you or her may be responsible for supporting him.  He is eligible for citizenship at this point and, if nothing is done (ie. criminal charges for abuse, etc.) soon, it will be too late.  If your grandchild was born in the US, that child is a US citizen and cannot be taken from the country without a court order or permission.  Hope this bit helps.

If you are under 18, your parents can sponsor you or be adopted by US citizens.\nIf you are over 18, you must marry a US citizen and have him/her sponsor you, or your employer can sponsor you.

I second using a more reliable source. Immigration is very complex law. \n\nThat said, if you're a bona-fide US citizen and marry an illegal alien (whose only infraction of law is illegal presence and/or illegal employment, and there are NO other criminal or moral problems) -- your spouse may be able file to adjust status on the grounds of being an immediate relative of a US citizen. I'm not sure about the child though. Once you file such a petition, your spouse is safe from being deported, until the petition is decided. If approved, your spouse becomes a permanent resident, and after 3 years, can apply for citizenship. If not, spouse needs to leave the country or file an appeal to fight the decision.\n\nNow the need for a lawyer: this can multiple years, and even a small mistake can jepordize the entire process -- and you'll have a really badly separated family. \n\nSo speak to a lawyer. If that's too expensive an option, large public libraries offer invite law professionals who consult for lower cost or free. \n\nI'm not a lawyer; above is only a slightly informed person's attempt to answer.

With proper documentation and going through the correct channels, yes. My friends wife is Hungarian and he had to come here and wait 4 months before she could come here legally. She also needed a sponsor that wasn't her husband.

Well, if he isn't legally divorced, then she isn't legally married to him nor has she ever been.\n\n  \nShe needs to contact an immigration lawyer ASAP.

Explain your situation to the Embassy. They will be able to tell you your rights. Is your husband Spanish? That may be the only factor that can work against you if Spain has laws about leaving the country with a minor. Either way get that girl home. Good luck.\n\nThen it should not be a problem getting her home.
