NO not even close. You must petition for a Visa, a fiance or spouse. neither is a guarantee that they will let them in America. The government has the power now to deny your petition and not allow the non citizen into the country, EVEN IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN. I am going through this now with my Italian fiance it takes soooo long and we may be waiting in vain because due to hurricane Katrina i was not able to work enough last tax year so they may deny us because i am not rich enough. and trust me these people DO NOT care. last time we visited Italy the immigration officers stopped us and as i cried uncontrollably they laughed. it is sad that our country has come to this.

NO! There are two routes: First, write to the STATE DEPARTMENT and request their guide for foreign marriages! Information from any other source is from the Cows tail after you jerk it.
If you work for the US Government and the government station you overseas, you can marry, requests a Fiancé VISA do the required paper work and you can bring your spouse back to the USA. She will have a green card and permission to live in America. She will not be a citizen!
If, after you are married, have the green card, and more than one year left to continue working overseas for the US government, (EX you are in the military), you can apply for an expeditious citizenship. Using all the paperwork that go you married, the Green card, and an updated police report, you apply for the citizenship, you will be directed to the nearest US state court, and you travel there when they have their next citizenship hearing, with your wife, and in the hearing she takes the oath, and becomes a citizen!
Get the INFO from the STATE DEPARTMENT!
Throw my response, along with everyone else’s in the trash!
I am married to a Korean, I have adopted a Vietnamese child in Vietnam, and my two children were born in Germany! I have walked the walk!
All citizenships were done in less than three months!

NO its doesnt make them anything. IF you married here in the USA and that person came overhere legally say a tourist visa or whatever, and would like to stay here with you, you can marry after 90 days of coming to USA but before the visa expires then you have to file for Adjustment of Status I-485, to first make them a permanent resident. After 3 years being a permanent resident, that person will be able to apply for US citizenship.

No. You have to file petition with Immigration Dept. On the strength of it, your spouse have to go thro' necessary process to get a visa. On arriving in the USA, he/she have to apply for green card to get 'permanent resident' status. Holding this 'PR" status for 3 years he/she can choose to apply for US citizenship. Then, there'll be interview to assess the knowledge of American history, culture, English language etc. Getting thro' this interview is not much difficult, if studied well. And then he/she can become US Citizen. All this will take about 4 years from the date of your petition.

No, it may make them eligible for naturalization but they would need to petition for citizenship and go through a naturalization process to actually become citizens.

No. They have to go through the immigration process, get the "green card", and all the rest that any other immigrant to the US has to go through. I married in the Phillipines. My wife had to go through the whole process.

No.
You can petition for them to become a resident, but they have to satisfy criteria and it takes some time.
