My girlfriend is Dutch and wishes to permanently move to the United States. She's wondering what her options are. She wants to become a legal US citizen.

If her job will transfer her, she can get an H1-B, US BCIS starts taking apps. for 2007 on Apr. 4, 2007. If she's a student, she can get a student visa, but those are temporary. There's always getting married, then she can stay and not have to change her citizenship. But there are stipulations to that, they do not make any avenue to getting US citizenship easy. http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
A couple I know that moved here within the last 14 months from Belgium with their 2 children, and although they are financially well-off, they made it priority #1 to have a 3rd child that would be born on US soil, the media calls them anchor babies, because the child can be considered a US citizen and they would not be forced to leave the US if the father's H1-B is ever revoked.

The US allows European countries to enter legally, with a Passport. It may take some time, for her to have a citizenship, maybe at least 3 years to be exact. But try finding info about immigration, it may answer your questions. The other way is that you have to be a U.S citizen, and you have to marry her to give her excess, to become one.

If you´re really serious about this girl the quickest way to get her into the US as a permanent resident would be via "Petition for Alien Fiance" Form I-129. I think it takes about 6 months to process and you must marry within 90 days of her arrival in the US.

Dont expect anything easier since she is dutch. If you are a US Citizen - marriage is the only obvious way, unless she is a great scientist.
If she comes on VWP and overstays - she is in big troubles, even with marriage.
P.S. Masters 94 " maybe at least 3 years to be exact." Is Classic!!!

you are able to not supply up your american citizenship rather. the only reason you supplies you your american citizenship is to grow to be a citizen of a united states of america that does no longer enable twin citizenship. twin nationality Conscription death penalty advert Andorra No No No BE Belgium No No No DK Denmark No definite (definite) No EE Estonia No definite (definite) No MC Monaco No No No UA Ukraine No definite (definite) No The above international locations in Europe do no longer enable twin citizenship.

U could marry her if u're American or she could come here and go thru the normal procedure like everybody else. That will take a couple of years. Find out more from www.us.gov
