I know someone that has been working on a work visa for the last 11 years in the US as a management consultant on a TN Visa. He is Canadian born.
Can this person start applying to become an US resident?

#412Hi Peter, I'm supposed to move to US on L1B visa. I have scheduled already appointment in the US embassy. However, in the meantime my situation changed and I will resign my current job (I decided not to move to us) - although I haven't done it yet. Will there be any legal implication if I cancel my visa appointment or it's better to first obtain L1B and then quit the job (losing L1B).
Thank you.

#413If I happen to possibly pursue the Green Card route through my wife (US Citizen), and invariably divorce her in the coming few months, would that hold any bearing on my US Citizenship?

#414Earlier quoted context omitted.
You go in the Pakistani queue. One of my friend who is an Indian citizen can apply because he was born in Kuwait while folks who were born in India cannot apply.
How stupid. I am an Australian for all intents and purposes.
If you're married to an Australian (non-Pakistani), you can "cross-charge" your GC application to your spouse. This is true for employer-based GC, may apply to diversity visa as well.
