Are people from Guam considered US citizen?

Question

Hi,
My friend is planning to get married with a Guam citizen to be a US Citizen here in Connecticut. Question is, are people from Guam or Saipan considered US Citizen? If they get married here in Connecticut, can the Guam citizen file a petition for my friend?

Ok my friend is overstaying his US tourist via for 3 months now. Will this be a problem? Serious answers only please and no comments about my friend who overstayed.

Thanks!

Answer 1

People from Guam and Saipan are US citizens. Your friend can certainly marry someone from there and file for an adjustment of status from an overstayed visa Approval is not automatic, however, USCIS may require interviews or even deny an application if it thinks the couple got married to help one spouse get a green card. Hopefully, your friend has known the spouse for awhile and has proof that the relationship is genuine and not for immigration benefits.

Answer 2

There's a BIG reason why people will comment on his overstay his Visa!! The reason being is it's a huge no-no... If he can't be trusted to leave when he's supposed to. USCIS wont like it, thats a guarantee.



AS for your question:



Birthright citizenship in the United States refers to a person's acquisition of United States citizenship by virtue of the circumstances of his or her birth. It contrasts with citizenship acquired in other ways, for example by naturalization later in life. Birthright citizenship may be conferred by jus soli or jus sanguinis. Under United States law, any person born within the United States (including the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands)[1] and subject to its jurisdiction is automatically granted U.S. citizenship,[2] as are many (though not all) children born to American citizens overseas.

Answer 3

Guam is a U.S. Territory, therefore Guam residents are U.S. Citizens.



Your friend can adjust his status, he will get a green card and in 3 years apply for American citizenship.

(Marriage don't get him US Citizen automatically)

Answer 4

if you friend is on a

b-2 it may work ..if they are on the visa waiver it probably wont ..
