You can apply for status change after marriage, but INS rather actively discourages that, and there are no guarantees.
This is why, when DawnCoyote was visiting me for three months and during that time I happened to have business in Seattle, so we popped over to Vancouver to see her mom . . . they wouldn't let her back across the border. So I drove her car and her cats up a few weeks later, we didn't get to see each other again for over a year, and it probably delayed the whole immigration visa fiance visa process quite a bit.
The supervisor thought she had too many shoes and too many books, leading me to believe that he didn't have much experience with women, and if he did, none who read. The well-organized file she brought containing her lease agreement, employment contract, and I don't remember what other evidence of her intention to remain as a Vancouver resident until she got the go-ahead to move down meant nothing, and there is no recourse.
We found out later that if she'd stayed and we'd applied for status change, she'd have to remain in the country until approved (takes years), and if she left for any reason she'd never be allowed back, fiance be damned. She was worried about her mother's health and needing to go home.
Jack's just regurgitating the conservative propaganda about illegal immigrants who thwart immigration law by seducing or inducing a vulnerable citizen into marriage.
If it was that easy, we'd be celebrating our sixteenth anniversary this year, not our fourteenth.
I know, right? Time flies, but generally fastest when you'd rather it crawled.
Fourteen years is a long time. It means you and I have known each other around eighteen years, I think. If you ever make it across the water and into the desert, I hope you'll come stay in our home, visit the parks etc. with us, take some beautiful pictures of a type you'll never find out there in your Pacific paradise--see what Edward Abbey was so passionate about. We'd love to spend time with you in this other, more/less intimate space.
No pressure. I'll let you know if I'm ever going to make it out there too.
Why isn't Congresswoman, Ramirez's, husband legal in view of his marriage to an American citizen?
I don't think citizenship by marriage is a thing, is it? He'd have to be naturalized.
