Can I become a US resident with a seaman visa?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Scott Wesley Dicus (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Goodman & Dicus LLP
A seaman/crewman visa will not lead to U.S. citizenship. A seaman visa is a nonimmigrant visa. When you get a nonimmigrant visa, the U.S. government assumes you will perform a specific activity while you are in the U.S. You are therefore given a specialized visa authorizing that activity - and only that activity - for a specific, limited time. While green cards are permanent, all nonimmigrant visas are temporary. Additionally, from a strictly legal standpoint, getting a nonimigrant visa will not help you to get a green card, nor will it hurt you.

Does he have to go back to Mexico and wait for the process to be completed or can he be here during the process and pay the fee for entering illegally

Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Answered by attorney Jennifer Maude Oltarsh
Immigration lawyer at Oltarsh & Associates, P.C.
Whether he will be protected depend on how his Dad obtained residence. If he leaves he will be subject to a 10 year bar and will need a waiver. I strongly urge you to retain a lawyer before you proceed.
