No, it doesn't make them a citizen if they marry one. I am a German citizen with a permanent resident green card and married a solider. It didn't make me a US citizen like most people would think. A person in this situation still has to wait for 5 years in Permanent Resident status and then apply for citizenship.

Not to crack wise here but love transcends all things, regardless of criminal record or country of matrimonial officiation(aside from lacking documentation). The deter- minate weighing in, as it were, lay in the hands of the department of I.N.S. Factors considered are balanced among=(:->likely. this coming from a young fool remember) protocol, administrative grace, adherance to application guidelines, utmost honesty regardless of consequence, things of that nature. M. Ghandi- Love as if You were to die tomorrow. Learn as if You will live forever.

No, they would still have to apply for citizenship under the established laws and meet all requirements for becoming a U.S. citizen.

Assuming the convicted felon is a foreigner, I don't think so. I went through the process of naturalization, and you do have to indicate any crimes you've committed.

No, marriage to a US citizen only reduces the required residency period for permanent residents who wish to become US citizens.

If a permanent green card marry a US citizen veteran do you automatic become us citizenship?

No, you do not.Marrying a US citizen never automatically makes you a citizen- however, it does speed up the process if you are trying to naturalize. Normally, a legal resident has to wait 5 years before they can apply for US citizenship; if a legal resident marries a US citizen, this is shortened to 3 years.


If you marry a Mexican citizen would he become a citizen then or would he have to take the test to become a US citizen?

IF YOU MARRY A MEXICAN, HE DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ONLY THING THAT MARRAIGE ESTABLISHES WHEN YOU MARRY A MEXICAN IS PERMANENT RESIDENT ALIEN STATUS FOR HIM. HE CAN ONLY KEEP THIS IF YOU REMAIN MARRIED FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF YEARS. IF HE WISHES TO BECOME A CITIZEN, HE MUST TAKE THE TEST AND PASS. I married an illegal Mexican immigrant and I was told by an immigration officer that he can be deported until we have been approved for a visa number, but that some immigration officers will be lenient if the immigrant has papers with him showing that the process is underway.

I am adopted by two U.S. Citizens and lived in the U.S for 25 years and am a permanent resident but lost my card Can I marry a citizen and become a citizen automatically or at least quicker?

What card did you lose? Green card? If you were adopted by US citizens, you are already a US citizen, not merely a permanent resident. Getting married does nothing for improving your status. I'd go see an (immigration) attorney and order copies of your documentation. This shouldn't be too hard to get if you had them originally. Good luck.


When marrying a US citizen how long does it take to process your papers and become a resident?

If the marriage is found to be valid it takes a minimum of 6-18 months to obtain permanent residence status (green card). The parties must remain legally married and residing together for three years before the immigrant can apply for US citizenship. Persons who are in the US illegally are not eligible for permanent resident status and citizenship even if they marry a US citizen.


If I marry someone with a valid work permit what are the chances that he'll be sent back to his country?

Now, I may be incorrect, but I am fairly confident that if you marry someone who is not a legal citizen of the country, and YOU are a legal citizen of the country, then he will be issued a green card, which grants him permanent resident status.
