You are breaking the law.  You must leave the country and apply from OUTSIDE Canada.

Go to the official Canadian government immigration website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/\n\nThere are many other websites from lawyers and immigration services, but lawyers are not required and the paperwork is well explained. Good luck.

I am a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer and I can tell you that you should have no problem getting a driver's license.  Your visa only needs to be valid on the day you apply at the border.  As long as your passport and I-94 are still valid, you are legally entitled to be in the U.S.  I would warn you, if you leave the U.S. for any reason you will need a new visa to come back, unless you travel to Canada or Mexico and are gone fewer than 30 days.  If you go to any other country or are gone more than30 days, you will need a new visa.

Consult the closest U.S. embassy in your region.  It all depends on how long ago the crime was committed, the nature of the crime, and your age (was it a juvenile crime or adult).  If the crime was either drug or violence related, your chances drop considerably.  However, if it was something small, like public intoxication or domestic disturbance, you will most likely be given a pardon if it happened at least a few years ago.  They will make you go through an application process, and it will definitely be costly (just like it's costly to ask for a pardon from the Canadian government to be allowed to enter the country for a crime that was committed in the U.S.).  A lawyer is not necessary, court proceedings will most likely not take place unless you decide to sue the U.S. government.  Sometimes, the "waiting period" for a crime can take up to ten years - it all depends on the nature of the crime.  By contacting the embassy or consulate, they will give you a better understanding of what procedures you have to take.

call the police and explain ur situation ( illeagal immagration is a big thing now days so ) they will be more than happy to help you find out if his visa is expired, then contact a lawyer incase he' tries anything.

You can try, but you don't want to find out it's deficent when it's too late.\n\nYou might try your local lawschool/law library.  My lawschool had a wide selection of forms for do-it-yourselfers.\n\nAnd it might not be so bad to call an attorney.  You might be surprised at how inexpensive it turns out to be.

There is no fast way. You have to seek government help. They have to findout if you're eligible. Go to canada. hehe

I married a Canadian Woman. I now live in Canada. This does not give you automatic Canadian citizenship. It is a process that takes some time to get. \n\nFirst you have to become a "Landed Immigrant". If you have no criminal record it is relatively only time consuming. Do not use one of the immigration consultant. They are a waste of money. Instead do it yourself with the help of one of the Yahoo group Canadian immigration groups. They can help you with each step. They helped my wife and me a lot. Then in about 3 years you can apply for citizenship and get dual citizenship. DO NOT return to the US or your country of origin during the process as you may not be allowed to return.\n\nIf you have been divorced, before you can marry in Canada you have to get several letters from lawyers and certified copies of every divorce decree. If your spouse died then you must have death certificates as well. This has to be sent into the Provincial government and approved before you can get your marriage license. It is a process that can take several weeks to get together, sent, and returned so plan on that.\nGood luck and remember it will take lots of time to accomplish it all...

You should have thought about that before going AWOL. Contact the office where you get your green card renewed they should be able to help you.

Go to the immigration department and admit what you have done. If you have no bad police record and you have never been sued, then maybe they will review your case and possibly grant you the naturalisation. (Let us face it, if the immigration people were so serious, they would control those allowed into the country on a limited visa, at least 6 months prior to it expiring. Accordingly these people are not doing their job properly! They would not want this to get out!). \nOn the other hand, they could arrest you, put you away and fine you. \nThat is the risk, but if you ask me, honesty is the best policy, and that would be to your advantage in the described situation!\n\nGood luck!

You need to have had the restrictions on permanent residence removed first. As long as you did that, you would still be elligible, even if you got divorced. Also, your permanent residence status would not be revoked.

The first thing you need to do is calm down. You're in absolutely no danger of losing your Canadian citizenship. The law in no way requires retroactive renunciation. You were born in Canada, and you are Canadian. The recognition of the Quebecois as a nationality in no way constitutes a renunciation by Ottowa of sovereignty. This is largely a symbolic move. And even if one day the province were to declare its independence, it would still not effect your citizenship rights unless YOU chose to relinquish \nthem. \n\nFeel better now?\n\nCheers, mate.

First of all let me clarify:  If the validity date on you card is expired then it does not mean that you have become illegal. It's just that the document has expired but your immigration status is intact. You need to file form I-90 to get a replacement card. Go to the following link for complete instruction on how to apply for a replacement green card.\n\nhttp://www.uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/i-90.htm\n\nSince you are in status you can get an employment.\n\nNow the other situation could be that you are out of status that means that you have been outside of US for more than 1 year.  In that case you can apply for a Returning Resident Visa at your near east US embassy or Consulate.
