The EU-PR for third country nationals is not as straightforward as it looks if you are seeking to be employed. Some member states, among them Germany, will put the non-EU nationals' application through a "labour certification" process to see (throughout the entire EU), if there is no EU-ci...
I am sorry, but I have not seen any requirement in any of the pertinent regulations regarding an obligation to have an address in one's home member state in order to register for residence in another member state. The OP certainly would have a Swedish address, so no problem there. But what about an ...
No, you do not have to have resided in the EU in order to move to another EU member state. You can move to Portugal directly from the States. All that is needed is your EU-passport and proof of family relationship (marriage certificate) in order to get the resident permit for the non-EU spouse. Also...
You are not very forthcoming with your own details. Is your husband living with you in Lithuania at this point, or not ? etc., etc Also, please make sure you understand the materials you read: there is no way that Holland or any other EU mamber state would require your husband to take a language tes...
Once you receive the green card you can apply for a re-entry permit, form I-131. If approved, this would give you two years maximum in which to legally reside outside the US. The application has to be made from inside the US, from a US address. You will have to wait 4-8 weeks after submitting the ap...
As an EU citizen you AND your husband (regardless of what citizenship he holds) have a right to live in Spain. No ifs and no buts about that.... You may need to involve SOLVIT (Google will give you their web address). They will help you deal with the Spanish authorities if needed. He does not need t...
If as a UK citizen you have lived in another EU member state, and then return to the UK you will be seen as a EU-citizen with respect to innigration issues and therefore EU-law applies, not national law. In other words: with regards to sponsoring your relative, EU-rules would apply, not national law
Having permanent residency in Norway as a non-EU citizen will not give you any rights in Belgium. Norway is part of the Schengen-accord but not a member of the EU. You either should aquire Norwegian citizenship, which will give you the right to move to Belgium, and then clarify your friends status b...
As you are an EU-citizen living in the UK you do not have a residence permit for the UK, right? Therefore you would not have a stamp by the UK in your Brazilian passport, correct? In that case, the US consulate would tell you that you need to apply for a US visa in your home country, which in their ...
The ILR should be helpful, also other ties like real estate property, a job, relatives, as much as you can come up with in terms of "proof" that you will go back after your visit. It also helps to limit your visit to less than a month
You do not, in fact qualify in this case for a three year "job search visa" in Germany. It is only one year. After one year you must have found a job in your field, a job that requires you to have the qualifications gained in your course of study. If not, you are out of luck, unless you ca...
If you are marrued to a gc-holder you can come to the US, bit it will take 5 yrs or longer to be allowed to do so> There are only a certain number of visas available each year for spouses of permanent residents
It is true that you may use a green card to return to the US after an absence of less than 12 months. It is almost certain that you will be asked to submit to a secondary inspection upon arrival (that will happen even after an absence of only 6 months). At this inspection the officer will try to asc...
You do not provide much information. Was she married at least three years before she applied for citizenship on the basis of marriage to a USC? At the time when she applied was she married legally? If all the above is the case it does not make sense for the USCIS to "investigate" further, ...
B1/B2 gets cancelled automatically when you receive an immigrant visa. Do not use that passport. You have 1 year to immigrate to the US as DV1 holder from the time you took your green card "activation" trip
At this point: any time you leave the US by bus, train, boat or airplane CBP/USCIS will know when you left. If you leave by car via MEX or CDN it depends on whether the car is registered in your name or a relatives name that can be linked to you, whether the Mexican or Canadian border guards will ch...
This is not a question of whether he deserves or does not deserve to be deported, it is a purely legal issue. You/he need(s) to contact a good immigration attorney that specialises in deportation issues and knows criminal law of your state as well. Go through the American Immigration Lawyers Associa...
DCF is the best way to go if both of you live in the same country. Affidavit of Support can be tricky in this case as the sponsoring partner is not likely to have a job in the US, but relatives in the US can co-sponsor
I don't think you can just return to the US with a gc after such a long absence. Short trips back to the US do not count towards preserving your residency rights. Did you apply for an I-131 before you left the US? That would have given you 2 years of legally permitted stay outside the US on your gre...
There is no specific time restriction as far as how long you have to be absent from the US, but many visits (like for several weeks each) with only short sojourns to your home country will get noticed. You will then be questioned, quite vigorously, as to whether you really are living in the US and n...
You need to contact the US consulate/embassy nearest you and consult with them. Don't leave it until you board an airplane. The check-in staff might be confused and not know what to do and you might be refused boarding. Even if you get to the U.S. port of entry, the CBP officer may also make trouble...
If the "host" is your life-parter/girl/boyfiend, whatever, they can sponsor you, theoretically. In practise, it is often much easier for such a sponsor to move temporarily to another EU-member state, in this case Belgium or Germany might be best. As aDutch citizen your sponsor is not consi...
You can get a carte de sèjour - affaires familiales communautaire/UE (it is called something like that). I think you need to register with the French authorities to have your life-partnership with your friend recognised (called "concubinage"). This process is called PACS, don't know what ...
