8 Requisitos esenciales del matrimonio para Inmigración

Es bien sabido que tanto los ciudadanos americanos como los residentes permanentes legales pueden pedir para sus esposos una tarjeta de residencia, tambià ©n conocida como la green card. Y esto aplica tanto a los matrimonios entre una mujer y un varà ³n como a los de dos personas del mismo sexo. Ademà ¡s, el matrimonio  una de las formas mà ¡s rà ¡pidas de obtener la residencia, si bien es mà ¡s rà ¡pido en el caso de peticiones cursadas por ciudadanos que las solicitadas por residentes. Pero para que esta tramitacià ³n migratoria llegue a buen puerto, Inmigracià ³n establece que necesario  que el matrimonio cumpla con una seria de caracterà ­sticas. En este artà ­culo se explican cuà ¡les son los requisitos que debe cumplir el matrimonio para inmigracià ³n y tambià ©n cuà ¡les pueden ser los problemas que dan lugar a la negacià ³n de la green card. Y es que el matrimonio por sà ­ solo no garantiza la obtencià ³n de la residencia. Para empezar, cuatro requisitos que aplican a todos los matrimonios, sin importar el lugar de celebracià ³n. A continuacià ³n se explican otros cuatro requisitios que deben cumplir cuando el matrimonio tiene lugar en Estados Unidos o uno de sus territorios, como por ejemplo, Puerto Rico. 4 requisitos del  matrimonio para Inmigracià ³n sin importar lugar de celebracià ³n Para que las autoridades migratorias aprueben una tarjeta de residencia por matrimonio, à ©ste debe cumplir los siguientes ​cuatro  requisitos: En primer lugar, legalidad. El matrimonio tiene que  tener validez en el lugar de su celebracià ³n, ademà ¡s, tiene que poder obtenerse un documento oficial en el que consta su celebracià ³n.  Son và ¡lidos tanto los religiosos como los civiles y cualquier otra fà ³rmula que sea aceptada como và ¡lida en la localidad en la el casorio tuvo lugar.​ En segundo lugar, debe ser de buena fe. Lo que tambià ©n se conoce con el nombre de bona fide. Esto es, que se trata de un matrimonio de verdad, no uno que se ha celebrado con el objetivo de que uno de los contrayentes pueda sacar los papeles para la residencia permanente.  Los matrimonios falsos son perseguidos por el Servicio de Ciudadanà ­a e Inmigracià ³n (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglà ©s).  Los castigos pueden ser severos.   En tercer lugar, es necesaria la presencia en la boda. Ambas partes conyugales deben estar presentes. Es decir, como regla general no se admiten los matrimonios por poder. Si este es tu caso, deberà ¡s probar que despuà ©s del casorio ha habido una consumacià ³n de la relacià ³n (ha habido sexo entre los esposos). En cuarto lugar, se exige solterà ­a. Hay que ser soltero o divorciado o ser viudo o haber obtenido la anulacià ³n de un matrimonio anterior. No se admite ni la bigamia ni la poligamia. 4 requisitos adicionales si el matrimonio se celebra en Estados Unidos Las bodas y sus requisitos son un asunto regulado por cada estado. Esto quiere decir que tienes que cumplir con las leyes del lugar en el que celebra.  Debes tener en cuenta estos 4 requisitos: 1. Residencia. En algunos estados deberà ¡s residir en el estado por un nà ºmero de dà ­as para poder casarte. En otros no. Esto quiere decir que puedes casarte legalmente en algunos estados en los que no vives, pero en otros no serà ¡ posible. Lo importante es que una vez que se celebra el matrimonio en EEUU respetando las leyes estatales del lugar serà ¡ reconocido por todos los estados y, lo mà ¡s importante para inmigracià ³n, por el gobierno federal. 2. Edad. Si tienes 18 aà ±os, puedes contraer matrimonio libremente. Si eres mà ¡s joven deberà ¡s verificar las leyes de tu estado. En muchos es posible casarse con 16, pero en otros serà ¡ preciso el consentimiento de los padres. Para edades mà ¡s jà ³venes siempre se va a necesitar dicho consentimiento e incluso en algunos estados el de un juez. 3. Parentesco. Si te quieres casar con un primo carnal (en primer grado) deberà ¡s comprobar las leyes locales, ya que aproximadamente la mitad de los estados lo prohà ­be o establece serias limitaciones de edad requiriendo que los novios hayan dejado atrà ¡s la edad de procrear. 4. Common law. En algunos estados se considera matrimonio cuando dos personas se ponen de acuerdo en vivir juntas y proclamarse pà ºblicamente como esposos. Esto es posible si vives en Alabama, Carolina del Sur, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Oklahoma, Pensilvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Utah y el Distrito de Columbia. Si este es tu caso antes de presentar los papeles habla con un abogado de inmigracià ³n o consulta directamente con el USCIS, lo que puedes hacer con el servicio de INFOPASS. Por supuesto que los matrimonios celebrados en el Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico son reconocidos por las autoridades de inmigracià ³n a todos los efectos migratorios. 6 problemas que pueden surgir en la tramitacià ³n de la residencia por matrimonio A pesar de estar casado legalmente y de  buena fe con un ciudadano estadounidense o un residente permanente legal puede darse el caso de que las autoridades migratorias no aprueben para el cà ³nyuge pedido la green card, o la visa de inmigrante si està ¡ en el extranjero. Las razones pueden ser varias, destacando las siguientes: 1. Que la persona que presenta la peticià ³n, es decir, el ciudadano o el residente, haya sido condenado por un delito que impide solicitar los papeles para un familiar segà ºn la ley Adam Walsh.   2. Que la persona que presenta la peticià ³n no tenga los recursos econà ³micos que pide la ley para poder patrocinar a un familiar. Este tema es particularmente problemà ¡tico cuando se trata de un ciudadano americano que lleva tiempo viviendo en otro paà ­s y desea regresarse a los Estados Unidos acompaà ±ado de su cà ³nyuge. En todo caso, tener presente que si se carecen de medios econà ³micos la ley permite buscar co-patrocinador para firmar la declaracià ³n de sostenimiento (affidavit of support). 3. Que el matrimonio sea considerado falso por Inmigracià ³n. Tener en cuenta que es posible la denuncia anà ³nima de matrimonios de conveniencia. 4. Que la persona que presenta la peticià ³n decide ponerle fin durante su tramitacià ³n. 5. Que se produce un divorcio. Esto podrà ­a  ser especialmente problemà ¡tico en los casos de residencias permanentes concedidas condicionalmente por un periodo de dos aà ±os, pero no es el à ºnico caso. 6. Que la persona extranjera para la que se piden los papeles sea inadmisible. Es decir, que la residencia se deniegue por una de estas 42 causas. En este punto hay que tener en cuenta que el problema surge al final de la tramitacià ³n. Es decir, se obtiene la aprobacià ³n de la primera gestià ³n, que es el formulario I-130, pero al final Inmigracià ³n dice no. En este apartado de considerar al extranjero como inadmisible destacar dos casos, aunque no son los à ºnicos. En primer lugar, si se ha ingresado a los Estados Unidos con visa K-1 de prometido de ciudadano americano, es necesario casarse con la persona que realizà ³ la peticià ³n. No es posible casarse con otra distinta. Esto solo da lugar a problemas y muy serios.   En segundo lugar, el problema que surge cuando el extranjero pedido està ¡ ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos. Si se encuentra en la actualidad como indocumentado decir que si se casa con un residente permanente no podrà ¡ arreglar los papeles por esa causa, porque no puede ajustar su estatus. P​or el contrario, si  se casa con un ciudadano americano hay una gran diferencia entre las personas que ingresaron a los Estados Unidos legalmente y que sà ­ pueden ajustar su estatus y aquellos que cruzaron ilegalmente, que no pueden hacerlo. Las personas en esta à ºltima situacià ³n tienen que salir de los Estados Unidos para ir a travà ©s de un procedimiento consular y ahà ­ probablemente surjan los problemas y tengan que esperar fuera por mucho tiempo.   Otra posible opcià ³n es el Parole in Place, pero en este caso el migrante indocumentado que ingresà ³ ilegalmente tendrà ­a que estar casado con un ciudadano que està ¡ en el Ejà ©rcito o es veterano.Por eso consultar con un abogado reputado para ver cuà ¡les son las opciones. Verificar tambià ©n si es posible calificar para recibir la waiver provisional por dureza extrema, que se recibe antes de salir de los Estados Unidos. Por à ºltimo, los extranjeros que han estado ilegalmente en los Estados Unidos y ahora està ¡n fuera del paà ­s està ¡n sujetos, salvo excepciones, al castigo de los 3 y de los 10 aà ±os  aunque tengan una peticià ³n realizada por un cà ³nyuge. Aunque en algunos casos es posible pedir una waiver, tambià ©n conocido como perdà ³n o permiso, lo cierto es que no aplica a todos y hay que cumplir requisitos muy serios. En otras palabras, hay que tener muy claro en el caso de ser migrante indocumentado cuà ¡ndo se està ¡ en una situacià ³n que la ley permite ajustar el estatus por matrimonio y cuà ¡ndo no es posible. Es importante conocer la situacià ³n real, buscar buen consejo legal y evitar ser và ­ctimas de fraude por parte de personas sin escrà ºpulos que prometen arreglar los papeles a cambio de pagar una importante suma de dinero y por ley es imposible que se dà © lo que prometen. Carga pà ºblica y beneficios pà ºblicos como causa para negar la residencia El gobierno del presidente Donald Trump ha establecido nuevas reglas por las que se puede negar la residencia a cualquier migrante que reciba determinados beneficios pà ºblicos o que se considere carga pà ºblica. Para ello deben considerarse factores como edad, salud, situacià ³n familiar, ingresos, patrimonio, etc. La nueva normativa deberà ­a entrar en vigor con fecha del 15 de octubre de 2019. Sin embargo, cortes federales impiden su aplicacià ³n a USCIS y al Departamento de Seguridad Interna (DHS), al menos por el momento. Sin embargo, las decisiones judiciales no afectan al Departamento de Estado, que sà ­ puede aplicar las reglas de carga pà ºblica para aprobar o negar visas en embajadas y consulados. Finalmente, a partir del 3 de noviembre de 2019 entran en vigor nuevas reglas sobre requisitos de seguro mà ©dico para todos los solicitantes de visas de inmigrante para la residencia.

Homelessness in America Essay - 2028 Words

According to Streetwise of Street News Services (2010), the first reported instances of homelessness dates as far back as 1640, in some of the larger cities in the original 13 colonies. At this time, there were wars being fought between settlers and Native Americans, and people were left with no shelter in both sides (Street News Service, 2010). Later, the industrial revolution caused more homelessness, industrial accidents left many former hard-working families with a dead provider, or with severe disabilities, and then the economy entered a recession in the same time period (Street News Service, 2010). Wars always left a large number of veterans homeless.

In 1990, the amendments changed far more of the act than with previous amendments, and many new programs were created, including Shelter Plus Care program (providing assistance to those with disabilities and addictions), and the Community Mental Health Services was amended and given a new name, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (National Coalition for the Homeless, 2006). The amendments in 1992 both expanded and modified Title IV, which included several programs that were overseen by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to include the creation of â€Å"safe havens†, which are very low-cost shelters available to people who do not wish to utilize other services, and the Rural Homeless Housing Assistance grant program (National Coalition for the Homeless, 2006).

Should Richer Nations Help Poorer Nations free essay sample

However, it is not possible for rich nations to stop giving aid as poor nations will be unable to survive on its own. Rich nations should stop giving aid to poorer nations as this can create over-reliance. Due to the constant help given by rich nations, government of poorer nations may end up not doing anything to help its country and allow richer nations to help them. This will result in them being unable to be independent and always have to rely on richer nations for aid. Problems may start surfacing during economic crisis where richer nations may cut down the amount of aid to help their own countries. During economic crisis, rich nations will demand lesser of poor nations’ exports, leading to a fall in income for poor nations. Coupled with a fall in aid, poor nations may experience recession and since poor nations are used to getting aid from rich nations, they may be unable to get out of recession until rich nations start to give more aid. We will write a custom essay sample on Should Richer Nations Help Poorer Nations or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Thus, rich nations should try and stop giving aid to poorer nations so that poorer nations will start to rely on themselves. There is a reason for rich nations to think twice before giving aid to poorer nations as there are corrupt governments which misuse the aid given to them. Instead of effectively using the aid to alleviate the suffering of those in poverty, aid is used for military purposes. In May the Burmese government hindered international relief efforts after the most damaging cyclone in its history, which killed an estimated 130,000. Burma has also received extensive military aid from India and China in the past. According to some estimates, Burma has received more than US$200 million in military aid from India. In the Corruption Perceptions Index Report for 2010 released by Transparency International, Burma ranks second to the bottom among 176 countries surveyed worldwide by the international corruption watchdog. Due to such rampant corruption in Burma, the people are still suffering from lack of food, water and amenities. This leads to rich nations asking themselves whether the aid should be given at all, if it is not put to good use. However, rich nations canoot let the poor nations survive on their own due to many reasons. Rich nations will be able to improve their economies if they provide aid for poor nations. By helping poor nations, they will be able to develop and enabling the citizens to have higher standard of living. When this happens, their demand for goods will increase and they will start importing from other countries or producing their own goods. This will benefit rich nations as their exports will increase leading to them getting richer while poor nations will start to become more developed. The GNI(PPP) per capita for Sub-Saharan Africa (which composed of 45 countries including Somalia and Ethiopia) has been rising over the years from US$2164 in 2008 to US$2242 in 2010. This shows that aid is useful in helping the country’s economy as it enables the gross national income to rise and enable the citizens to have higher standard of living. Thus, rich nations should not stop giving aid as it will result in the worsening of the problem of poverty in poor nations. Rich countries cannot simply let the poor countries fend for themselves as they lack the resources to fight poverty. They absolutely need external help to provide resources and knowledge in order to begin the fight to alleviate poverty. As South Asians lurch toward the 2015 deadline for meeting the Millennium Development Goals (MDG), it is important to recognize their governments role and the need for help from rich donor nations to significantly increase spending on human development for poverty reduction. However, the South Asian governments alone cannot do it. The private sector organizations, NGOs and civil society have to come forward to make their contribution toward meeting the important MDG goals to reduce poverty and hunger and improve health and literacy. In Pakistans case in particular, the overseas Pakistanis and Pakistans middle class need to step forward to do their part in rebuilding the shattered lives of millions of their poor fellow citizens affected by the recent floods. The world is interlinked, each nation will have connections with other nations, therefore it may not be beneficial for rich nations to not help poor nations since there may be times when rich nations would need their help. We are all living on the earth, if we do not help poor nations, who will.
