citizen
A citizen is either born to the country or immigrated and became a naturalized citizen, an alien is someone who is either an illegal immigrant or a visitor whose visa or pssport expired ,then never went back to their own country.
Not necessarily. The requirements for obtaining permanent residence (green card) vary depending on the specific case and circumstances of each individual. Some legalized aliens may automatically qualify for a green card after their temporary status expires, while others may need to apply and meet certain criteria to be eligible for permanent residence.
As a US citizen or a US resident, you are subject to US taxes, both federal and state income taxes on your world wide income and US source income. Since you are a resident alien, you must follow the same tax laws as U.S. citizens. You are taxed on income from all sources, both within and outside the United States.You will have to file Form 1040 or 1040A/1040EZ (if you do not itemize deductions on Sch A of 1040).
Citizens have certain rights that non-citizens do not. Depending on the country, they include the right to reside in the country, the right to vote and the right of support from the country.A citizen also hasresponsibilitiesto his country. They may include having to join a military force if instructed to do so, to support the country and to pay taxes. Non-citizens may not be required to do any of these.A resident alien is one who is not a citizen of a country but has the right to live there. Such a person may have more rights andresponsibilitiesthan a visitor to the country and, for example, may need to pay taxes to the country where he lives.
A non-permanent resident alien is an individual that holds employment in the United States. They are not a citizen and they do not have a green card.
An alien is not illegal as long as she/he has documentation of status. An alien who is documented to be a permanent resident is not illegal. If the alien does not have and never has had documentation of an immigration status, then that person is an illegal alien.
There is not much difference and there is a LOT of difference! A visa number is assigned to a person entering the USA. It later can become his/her Resident Alien number if alien status is granted. An alien number (usually from your visa number) is assigned to you when you have been granted legal Resident Alien status.
The difference between a citizen and permanent residence Citizen are the people that hold the NewZealand passports and they do not have to apply for a visa to Australia but for permanent residence they still have to apply for a visa to be able to travel to Australia
I believe you are not a resident alien at all, you are a alien, legally allowed to live and work in the USA for the duration of the L1 (up to 7 years) but you are not a "resident" There are many law firms who could answer precisely this question.
If sponsored by a spouse, who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, an alien may obtain permanent resident status through the use of a petition naming the alien as a direct beneficiary. Marriage is the tool by which this is done. However, if the marriage is terminated through divorce or annulment before permanent residence is granted, then the alien will not be eligible for permanent resident status by this affiliation. So the answer to your question depends on whether or not you completed your immigration status, if so then you will be seen as a legal resident.
Yup i guess, try ask your mom
You can go to the USCIS website and find the form for renewal of alien resident card (permanent resident card or "green card"), fill out the application, print it and send it with other required documents along with the payment. Your other choice is going to the INS and get the forms.
Answer: If you have been married for 3 yrs or more than you can choose to renew your permanent resident card or file for citizenship. If you choose to renew your card, its the same process as any other permanent resident would have to go through.
The key differences between a non-resident alien and a resident alien are their tax implications and legal status. Non-resident aliens are taxed only on income from U.S. sources and have limited rights in the U.S., while resident aliens are taxed on worldwide income and have more legal rights and privileges in the U.S.
The resident would need to wait until becoming a US citizen until filing for residency for the illegal alien spouse.
Yes. You are knowingly harboring a criminal.
