3-Year Naturalization by Marriage to a U.S. Citizen
87.00 лв
The Spouse of a United States citizen who resides in the United States may be eligible for naturalization on the basis of his or her marriage. The spouse must have continuously resided in the United States after becoming a Lawful Permanent Resident for at least 3 years. The spouse must have lived in marital union with his or her United States citizen spouse for at least 3 years.
Naturalization is the process by which a non-citizen becomes a citizen of the United States. One way to obtain U.S. citizenship is through marriage to a U.S. citizen. However, this requires fulfilling several requirements and following certain procedures.
Establishing Permanent Residency
The first step to obtaining U.S. citizenship through marriage is to establish permanent residency in the United States. This means obtaining a Permanent Resident Card, also known as a Green Card, which provides proof that the person is a lawful permanent resident of the United States. To obtain a Green Card through marriage, the U.S. citizen spouse must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and pay the filing fee to obtain the proper visa permission for the foreign spouse to immigrate to the U.S.1. After the arrival of the foreign spouse, he or she must file Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, and pay the filing fee to adjust his or her status to that of a permanent resident. If the foreign spouse is already in the U.S. legally, both forms can be filed at the same time. The USCIS will then schedule an interview with both spouses to verify the validity of their marriage and other eligibility criteria2. If the marriage is less than two years old at the time of granting permanent resident status, the foreign spouse will receive a conditional Green Card, which can be removed by filing Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, within the 90-day period before its expiration.
Applying for Citizenship
The second step to obtaining U.S. citizenship through marriage is to apply for naturalization. The foreign spouse must be a permanent resident (Green Card holder) for at least three years and have been living in marital union with the U.S. citizen spouse during that time. The foreign spouse must also meet other general eligibility requirements for naturalization, such as being at least 18 years old, having continuous residence and physical presence in the U.S., being able to read, write and speak English, having knowledge of U.S. history and government, and being a person of good moral character. To apply for naturalization, the foreign spouse must file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, along with requested documentation and appropriate fee2. The foreign spouse may file this application up to 90 days before meeting the required three-year period of continuous residence. If approved, the foreign spouse will take the Oath of Allegiance and become a U.S. citizen.
Final Considerations
Obtaining U.S. citizenship through marriage is not a fast or easy process. It requires patience, attention to detail, and compliance with various rules and regulations. It also requires that the marriage be bona fide and not entered into for immigration purposes only 1. The USCIS may investigate any evidence of fraud or misrepresentation in the marriage or the application process1. If found guilty of such conduct, the foreign spouse may face deportation or criminal charges. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with an immigration attorney before starting this process.

Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents
68.00 лв
A Legal Permanent Resident may have his removal cancelled before a hearing before an Immigration Judge. In order for this to happen, the Legal Permanent Resident has had this status for 5 years, he has had at least 7 years continuous residence in the United States after having been lawfully admitted in any status, and has not been convicted of an aggravated felony. Also has the Form EOIR-42A attached.
Do you already have your Green Card, but committed a crime and now U.S. Immigration is trying to deport you? This is possible, but you may qualify for a form of relief which for all intense purposes is your ‘get out of jail’ free card. A Lawful Permanent Resident or somebody with a Green Card may have his removal cancelled before a hearing before an Immigration Judge. In order for this to happen, the Legal Permanent Resident has had this status for 5 years, he has had at least 7 years continuous residence in the United States after having been lawfully admitted in any status, and has not been convicted of an aggravated felony. Also has the Form EOIR-42A attached.
Many times, people who are not in Removal Proceedings or Deportation Proceedings believe that they can do cancellation of removal applications. In fact, many foreign nationals not in immigration court think that all they must do is remain in the U.S. for 10 years and voila that they qualify.
Unfortunately, it is not that easy, nor is it correct. The Cancellation of Removal for Lawful Permanent Residents is quite a bit easier to get approved than the other Cancellation of Removal for those people who don’t have their Green Cards. It is not easy, but much easier. For this Cancellation of Removal, you need to have been physically present in the United States for 7 years and have had residency for 5 years and to have not been convicted of an aggravated felon. Thus, you do not need to show good moral character and you do not need to show extreme hardship to a U.S. relative such as a child, spouse or parent. Even if you have an aggravated felon, you may be able to go back to criminal court to argue why the sentence should be reduced or the guilty plea vacated.
Cancellation of Removal or ‘Cancellation of Deportation’ for people who have Green Cards, is basically a get out of jail free card. Once you prepare the application, argue the merits hearing in front of the Immigration Judge and await a decision, you will get your Green Card back and get removal proceedings ended if you win.
The sample Cancellation of Removal packet for Lawful Permanent Residents you see will give lots of great information and a significant amount of information and data that will comply with the requirements. Thus, if you cannot hire an immigration lawyer to prepare the necessary Cancellation of Removal Packet, this is the next best thing. Follow it carefully and closely and you will have a real chance of realizing your dream to stay inside the United States. Note that the Immigration judge nor the trial attorney from the department of homeland security are your friend, and you must properly either get legal representation via an attorney or represent yourself. Either way, if you qualify for this, you must make it as strong as possible.
