I'm a bit confused now...let me get this straight:

• Your girlfriend is in the US on a student visa. You want to marry and have her stay in the US.
• Your girlfriend has a child from another USC. The child is a USC.
• The child is in PH right now.

Assuming the above is true, why not have the relatives get the child the airport, then the child can fly to the US? Most airlines have an unaccompanied minor process (usually for a fee).

Ok, just for chit chat, the USC child and nonUSC mother are visiting family in the philipinnes, and I remain a USC. still in the states. Could the mother take the USC child to the US embassy, claim asylum, and be gotten out of the country by the military as an escort for the USC child??

Well, you file the papers then wait. And wait and wait. She will need to do biometrics are some point, too. Check out the guide linked above.

 

The martial law in (some of) PH won't impact immigration. You can petition for the child to get an immigrant visa and join her in the US. This process will take roughly 12-14 months on average.

No, the US military will not go into a foreign country to grab a non-US citizen and get them out. If the child made it to USEM and successful obtained asylum in the embassy, then it is what it is...but I don't see a case for that happening.

I forgot to mention that the child is a passport carrying US cictzen as well.Simply visiying relatives. She is only 5 and is currently stuck/ Her mom can't come get here as she is not a US cicitzen.

...are you in her country or the USA? And no, sorry to say but the military won't waste resources on that. Martial law is not actual state of war or anything. Plus foreign military can't just go to other countries and do stuff.

The US embassy is owned by the US, so it isn;t like our guys go strolling in kicking ### and telling people what to do. You would simply be seeking asylum  in the US embasssy, of which you are an owner(citizen)

So we can marry quickly, but thend months wetting various papersso she can stay? Well over a year.

Edit, I have another question that is very important. Her governement has declared maritial law. We can't get  our child out of the country. Can this be sued favorably? Go to the US embassy, declare we and our child is in dnager, and get the US military get us out?

Hi everyone, great site. I have a few short questions. My gf got a student visa to learn sewing adn has almost finished.  Noiw we want to marry. Since she has been here two years and now has a job. I'm a  natural born American citizen so we are ready to get married. Do we just have to go to a judge? We have lived together some of the time and have a hild by another father.

So we just pay for the marriage certificate and have the judge marry use now? Is there anything else required?

Thanks for your answers even though I'm sure we can just go get married.
