Does having a valid social security number make me a US resident?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
A social security number alone does not make you a U.S. Resident. How did you get your social security number? Do you have a green card? If you have green card, present that to DMV as proof of residency. Even though you were not born in the U.S., you may have acquired U.S. Citizenship through your parents, if they were U.S. Citizen. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced immigration law attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your situation. He/she would then be in a better position to analyze you case and advise you of your options.

Are we allowed to stay in USA twice a year for 90 days each?

Answered by attorney Phong Thanh Tran (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Law Office of Pho Ethan Tran, PLLC
If you intend to stay in the US for at least 6 months out of every year, you should seek permanent resident status in the US. If your son is already a US citizen, he can start the process by filing petitions for his parents on form I-130. It will take approximately 1 year for the paperwork to be processed before you will receive an interview appointment for your immigrant visa applications at the US consulate. If your son is not yet a US citizen, you will need to apply for visitor visas at the US consulate. For further information on how to apply for a visitor visa, you can visit the website of the US consulate nearest to you.

Hi,my name Raj, i am from India and i am living and working as caregiver since 6 years in Israel.i want to visit to USA for meet my younger brothe

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
If you have been living and working as a caretaker in Israel for six years, you could apply for a B-2 visiting visa from the American Embassy in Tel Aviv or consulate in Jerusalem. Visitors visas are given in the discretion of American consular officers and you would have the burden of proof that you do not intend to remain in the US past the time that you are requesting for visiting in the States. The fact that you are a third country national in Israel will be taken into account, but also the fact that you have spent the last six years in the country. Your brother's presence in the US would be taken as a negative factor if he did not hold legal status. If holding legal status, that would be a good factor as he could also guarantee financial support if capable. Even if he is a US citizen, the fact that he could also sponsor you for permanent residence is not much of a factor since the waiting time (now approximately 13 years) is so long as to almost negate any semblance of immigrant intent.
