Bay Smith is a main character. Once a guy, she was turned into a girl several years ago. She keeps this fact a secret, and only a handful of people know.
She's now a struggling actress whose roommate is actually her daughter from an alternate future timeline.
For your general edification, this is written for specifically for Mexican Marriages but applies to other foreign nationals as well. Just for FYI, in a fictional world the rules can be what you want them to be. (I had to look this up for a project once)
I was trying to find something like this when I started the story. The only thing I could find back then would required me to hire a lawyer to read, understand and explain it too me (since the site doesn’t generate that kind of income, no Lawyer to explain things to my poor brain).
For now (since I’ve already entrenched in the plot line) I’m going to site the disclaimer in the comments of comic 642. which states, “I’m sure there are lots of loop holes and condition, situations and rules that aren’t being utilized in this comic and story… I’m not an immigration expert or official. I’m just trying to get a story out.”
Being a naturalized immigrant, several of my immigrant friends have married U.S. citizen friends. It’s not as simple as get married and you get to stay in the U.S.
You have to submit a bunch of paperwork saying you got married. This invalidates your current visa (easiest way to be denied a tourist visa is to hint that you want to visit the U.S. so you can get married and become a citizen – so on the off chance they’ll reject your application, they want you out of the country immediately). You have to go back to your native country and wait the 1-3 months it takes INS to review everything. Then when they’ve approved it, you get your green card and can finally re-enter the U.S.
Just like a man Bay is getter done.
Can you say, “Married to a native born citizen.”
(Although that doesn’t really work these days the way it does in fiction.)
It doesn’t?
Bay will just have to have an “anchor” baby then :o)
Doesn’t Bay _already have_ an “anchor” baby???
“native born” is unnecessary. Any citizen will do, so long as the marriage isn’t intended as a fraud on the immigration regulations.
Ah, so it’s not “marriage doesn’t make you a citizen”, it’s “you don’t need to marry a particular type of citizen”. Thanks for clearing that up.
Aw, poor Honey. She had her heart set on a big, expensive, do.

Thanks for the info.

Works for me. In a world where cats order pan cakes on the phone, TF guns work, and turtles are theatrical agents, who’s to argue immigration policy?
Indeed and while Bay may get her quicky wedding she may be facing Hurrican Honey for the reception.
