Lexusgs430: Even if everything miraculously worked out that way...(which is rare) he will only get spouse visa first and its not 5 years. |

I only know about U.S.A You have to live in America for 5 years to become a citizen, if you live in the U.s you're automatically a permanent resident, there is no much difference between a citizen & a permanent resident, the only advantage of being a citizen is having the American passport. But you can become a citizen in less than 1 year if you join the military 1 Like |

Atmmachine:Really?.....You can be living in the US for 20 yrs sef...but if you don't have "papers"/Green Card you are not a Permanent Resident. If you been living in the US for 20 yrs as a Permanent Resident ..and you commit a felony....you will serve all or part of your sentence then forwarded to Immigration for deportation. Citizens are not deported. If you are a Permanent Resident....return to your country of origin and forgot/lost your Green Card...or....spend more than 6 months ....good luck on re entering the US. |
