How long will it take for your moldovan wife to get a us passport if you are married in moldova?

The short answer is it depends. First, obtaining a US passport for your Moldovan spouse is only possible once she has become a naturalized US citizen which can be a lengthy process. The first step in the process is for her to apply for a Green Card. If you have been married less than 2 years, then she will be issued a temporary Green card. Once your wife has a Green Card, she can begin the path to US citizenship by filing an application.


Your wife and you are permanent resients and had a child overseas you brought the child to the US How can you give your child a green card?

Well maybe, it depends. Some areas overseas will not let you give your child a green card unless you have signed many different papers. If you and your wife are both permanent residents of the US, you need no Green Card. The child is presumed to be a US citizen no matter where it was born. The question will be is whether or not the child is also a citizen of its place of birth

Can my kiwi wife work in the US (I am a U.S. citizen)?

Her right to work is derived from her immigrant (visa) status in the US. If she has a green card or is an American citizen, then she is automatically entitled to work and her Social Security card will not have any endorsement against that. If she does not have a SS card, it follows that she is likely not entitled to work.
