If I'm getting married to USA permanent resident what status will I get?

Can I have the same status? And how long it will take to receive green card?

The problem is the following: I have the fiancé in USA. He is permanent resident. He wanted to apply to get his citizenship but because of some circumstances he can't do it any more. I'm in Ukraine. I don't know what I can do. I was thinking of applying for business visa, come to USA and there to get married. But in Ukraine I have sick mother and I have to take care of her. That's why I need to travel to Ukraine... I really don't know what to do... Please, help me...
 
You will not get any "status" immediately. It will take 5-6 years after you get married and he files I-130 for you, in order for a visa number to become available for you.

In the other hand, if he becomes an US Citizen then you could have a green card within the year of getting married and filing I-130 and go through Consular Processing.

note: You can not use a visitor for pleasure/business visa to come to the US and get married and live here.

Thanks... For real quick reply. God bless you... And what another option do I have? How can I come to USA and get married to this man? We wanted to apply for bride visa, but now I think it’s impossible... What we can do?
 
The GC route will take 5-6 years. How many years before your fiance' becomes eligible to apply for US citizenship?

I don't know... May be this is mistake, but I want to hear your opinion about all this...

My fiancé’s mom got her green card in 1989 then she filed a petition for him (he was 22).His documents were in progress but he was told that it will take 9 years for him to get his green card. When a parent petitions a child, the daughter or son has to be single and remain single until he/she gets the green card. - is this through???

Anyway, he didn't listen to this and 2 years later he got married in Mexico. In 1998 he got the letter from the immigration office to apply for the green card and he was told by a few attorneys that if he puts down that he's married; they will decline the application and send my file for deportation. So he had to put down that he was single. The interview went well and he got his green card. In 2000 they got divorced in the USA. This was a mistake they should had done it in Mexico but anyway it happen here, so there is a record.

So, because of this problem he can't apply for the citizenship. Is it really such a big problem?
 
When you fiance' appeared for his immigrant visa interview he was married but presented himself as single. He committed fraud. He needs a lawyer. Good luck!!!

The way I see it,your best option is to get married in your country,do not apply for a visa such as a tourist or business visa just to marry him,it's fraudulent...Your soon to be husband immediately files a I-130 petition,you wait the 5-6 years for a visa number to become available for you and then you do the consular processing.You mentioned that you have a sick mother,you would be able to stay and take care of her and he would be able to come visit you until you are able to join him in the US.

In-love,

You lover has big problems ahead of his life in the US. :rolleyes: Since he obtained his greencard through fraud...technically he's clueless about the consequences of his actions. USCIS can revoke and deport his butt once he's found...:o

There is nothing that you can do, unless you want USCIS to investigate him, which will easily make sure both of you live happy together in Ukraine. Why there are so many lawyers who advise people to commit fraud? :confused:

Nobody advised... just circumstances... I understand. It's really serious... But is still thinking about trying a chance... and to apply for the citizenship. As I said he has a great career, credit history, parents, a kid from the first marriage, who is the US citizen, may be there are some other options?

In-Love,

I would strong encourage you to trust me on this one. There are no other options. :( Your lover is going to blow up very soon once USCIS makes a determination that he was ineligible for a greencard by virtue of his marriage. :o He actually has the balls to lie to the USCIS by presenting himself as single, while he was indeed married. He's toast or a more better... french toast with syrup...:rolleyes: The USCIS evidence against your lover is overwhelming....they can obtain his divorce records, uncover when he got married and the date when the marriage ended...:cool:

Having a good credit and a US child has never deterred the US govt from following or enforcing due process of the law. :( The simple truth is this: your friend committed a material fact misrepresentation to the USCIS, which is the US govt... ;) THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, his business isn't going to save his deportation. The US govt can always give his son to the mother, unless she's deceased or on drugs...:eek:

And what do you think, guys, can he re-new his green card?

I don't think you hear what people are telling you, In_Love.

Your boyfriend lied to the government. He committed fraud to get his green card, which will probably be revoked, and he is in serious legal trouble. You should contact a lawyer, as there is little else this forum can offer you. He'll probably have to leave the country once the USCIS decides to deal with him; if you intend on being together, you'd do well to prepare for a life somewhere other than the United states.

His job doesn't matter, his kids don't matter, his credit doesn't matter, you don't matter. All that matters to the USCIS is his having obtained a green card fraudulently, for which he will have to face the consequences.

Do you understand now?
 
I do not condone immigration fraud in any of its forms, however this thread has left me wondering how USCIS will ever find out that this guy was married when he said he was single? Presumably since he lied once and got away with it, he is planning to lie again when he submits his N-400. Unless he does something dumb (like showing the divorce decree), how will the IO know?

Anyway, citizenship or not, this is going to be hanging over his head forever.... always the thought that some when, some where, ICE may be coming to get him.

She said earlier: "He wanted to apply to get his citizenship but because of some circumstances he can't do it any more." I was assuming someone already knows.
