No. Only if she was a felon would she have problems with citizenship; as it is, you will have enough issues given that she is an illegal alien and assumably already in the country.

Can an illegal resident in the US marry a US citizen and apply for citizenship without being arrested?

If the immigrant is a true illegal (i.e. entered the country illegally/without inspection) even a marriage to a US citizen wont prevent him from facing possible deportation. Moreover, an immigrant CANNOT apply for citizenship, they must first apply for legal residency


Does filing a lawsuit against your employers prevent or affect you from getting your citizenship if you applied for it?

Most probably there will be no effect, as long as you fulfill the requirements for citizenship.


Can a illegal immigrant file for citizenship after commeting any felonies?

No, because an illegal alien would first need to become a green card holder and a criminal record will prevent him from getting a green card (or if he already has one- it would be cancelled). If he is in the strange situation where he has a felony record but has NOT been deported (there are cases like that) then filing a citizenship application will trigger a new background check and not only would the person be denied- but would become a priority for ICE to capture and deport. A felony record would also prevent an illegal alien from asking for cancellation of removal.


What is the process you need to take to marry an illegal Mexican that you love?

All he needs is the proper identification required by the state in which you wish to marry. There are not laws which prevent a U.S. citizen from marrying an illegal immigrant, such a marriage however does not confer automatic citizenship nor guarantee the spouse will be granted permanent resident status; it also does not mean said person will be subject to deportation. Information can be found at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services website, http://www.uscis.govAnswerGo to Mexico and live there.


How do you marry an illegal alien in Texas?

Go to the county courthouse with identification and pay the fee, wait 3 days and get a judge or minister to marry the both of you. that is correct. if you do not have a TX ID than just take your "matricula", visa, or any time of identification with your picture and information, birth certificate it's also taken.


Can a bankruptcy prevent you from getting your citizenship?

It shouldn't (although I don't know which country you're referring to). Let's use the U.S. as an example. When you apply for citizenship, you must be financially self sufficient. I.e. you cannot be a liability to the treasury. Bankruptcy is not a crime. It is simply a tool of last resort, to shed your creditors. So it shouldn't prevent you from becoming a citizen. Unless you went bankrupt due to criminal proceedings of some sort (namely financial crimes of "moral turpitude").


How does an American marry an illegal Mexican in Florida?

There are not laws that prevent a citizen from marrying a foreign national who is unlawfully present in the U.S. It is unlikely that an undocumented immigrant would have the identification required by state law, such as a SS#. Be that as it may, the citizen spouse would not be able to file an application for the non-citizen spouse's permanent resident status, because he was in the country illegally. The non-citizen spouse must return to Mexico and the required USCIS laws must be followed before he can legally reenter the U.S. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, http://www.uscis.gov


Are utility bills sufficient proof of residency when applying to the Canadian government for dual US-Canadian citizenship?

In Canada, the term "dual citizenship" is purely descriptive. It describes the fact that a person holds Canadian citizenship and the citizenship of another country at the same time. But there is no particular legal status called "Dual Citizenship". Therefore, you cannot apply for "Dual Citizenship". If you are a citizen of the United States (or any other country) and you apply for Canadian citizenship, Canada will not ask you to renounce your previous citizenship. In Canada's eyes, you can hold both citizenships simultaneously (though this could change due to recent abuses). In that sense, you will have dual citizenship. But be warned: other countries do not always see it that way. When a citizen of Canada (or any other country) takes American citizenship, he must renounce his previous citizenship. Canada may still consider that person a Canadian citizen, but the United States will not recognize them as a dual citizen. So, as I said, you cannot apply to the Canadian government for "Dual Citizenship" status. If you are citizen of another country, who has lived in Canada for the required period, and you want to apply for Canadian citizenship, you will need the following proof of residence: 1. A Record of Landing (IMM 1000)-a document that is sometimes folded and stapled into your passport, This shows that you arrived in Canada legally. 2. A permanent resident card. You get this from the government when you apply for permanent residency. You must be a permanent resident for at least three years before applying for citizenship. 3. Two pieces of identification (for example, a passport, a driver's licence, or a provincial/territorial health card), at least one of which contains your photo. NO, UTILITY BILLS WILL NOT DO. You must have official I.D. 4. Two signed citizenship photos, which must also be signed by a guarantor - a professional who can attest that you are a resident of Canada. For more information, visit the website of Citizenship and Immigration Canada at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp. Correction to above: The above is mostly correct except the US also does not require formal renunciation of other citizenships. When I became a US citizen, I did not have to renounce my Canadian citizenship, and the Canadian government still recognizes me as a Canadian citizen. However, the US does not legally recognizethat I have another citizenship. If Canada recognizes me as a citizen of Canada under the laws of Canada, that is between me and the government of Canada. It is not illegal or prohibited, it simply has no legal effect at all. The US will not try to prevent or prohibit another country from recognizing someone as a citizen under the laws of that other country, but whether they do or they don't is completely irrelevant under US law. Under US law, I am a US citizen, just like any other US citizen - period*. For example, if I was jailed in the US, I would not necessarily be allowed to have a representative of Canada visit me in jail any more than any other given US citizen would be allowed to have a Canadian government representative visit them.

Can a misdemeanor prevent you from getting a citizen in US?

If you are a common thief or murderer, this could be an obstacle to citizenship. If, however, you were branded a "criminal" by a totalitarian regime in your home country in order to restrict political freedoms recognized by the United States, that is a different matter. You should consult legal counsel familiar with US immigration law for more information.

If I visit North Korea as a tourist can I become a U.S. citizen afterwards?

Having been to North Korea does not prevent one from becoming a US citizen, but it also does not authorize one to be such. It sort of sounds like you're asking whether visiting North Korea is part of the US citizenship process, and it isn't.
