Permiso de residencia por matrimonio gay o de lesbianas

En Estados Unidos los matrimonios gays, conformados por dos hombres o dos mujeres, tienen los mismos derechos migratorios que los conformados por un varà ³n y una mujer. Lo fundamental en este tipo de matrimonios es que sean và ¡lidos segà ºn las leyes del lugar en el que se celebran, que no tiene que corresponder con las del lugar donde habitualmente residen los cà ³nyuges o uno de ellos.   A pesar de esta igualdad de derechos entre los  matrimonios gays y los heterosexuales, en ocasiones se producen conflictos o demoras porque se trata de un derecho relativamente reciente. Es por ello que el abogado de inmigracià ³n Frank Calabrese responde en la siguiente entrevista a dudas de gays, lesbianas, bisexuales y transexuales casados con personas de su mismo sexo, en relacià ³n al permiso de residencia (green card) y otros beneficios migratorios como visas de trabajo, peticiones de hijos, etc. Ademà ¡s, se finaliza este artà ­culo con importantes consejos migratorios para los casos en los que se està ¡ buscando la green card por matrimonio. Antecedentes y situacià ³n actual sobre derechos migratorios para matrimonios gays El 26 de junio de 2013, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos sentencià ³ que era inconstitucional la Seccià ³n 3 de la Ley de Defensa del Matrimonio (DOMA, por sus siglas en inglà ©s), que limitaba a efectos de reconocimiento federal el matrimonio al formado por un hombre y una mujer. Hasta esta decisià ³n de la Corte Suprema, DOMA prohibà ­a que el gobierno federal reconociese como và ¡lidos los matrimonios conformados por personas del mismo sexo.   Ahora que la Seccià ³n 3 de DOMA ya no es và ¡lida, desde el punto de vista de las leyes de inmigracià ³n, los ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos y los residentes permanentes casados con personas de su mismo sexo reciben el mismo tratamiento que los matrimonios conformados por un hombre y una mujer. Pregunta:  ¿Tenemos que vivir en un estado que reconoce legalmente el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo para solicitar un permiso de residencia de residencia? Respuesta: No. Desde el punto de vista de inmigracià ³n, el matrimonio se reconoce siempre y cuando que sea và ¡lido en la jurisdiccià ³n en la que se celebrà ³. Si te has casado en un estado o en un paà ­s que reconoce legalmente el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo, tu matrimonio es reconocido a efectos de inmigracià ³n en los Estados Unidos. Los matrimonios pueden legalmente residir en cualquier estado de la Unià ³n Americana.  ¿Es suficiente tener una relacià ³n legalmente reconocida pero que no es matrimonio, como por ejemplo una unià ³n civil o una pareja de hecho? No en estos momentos. Si es posible, deben  casarse en una jurisdiccià ³n que permite el matrimonio entre parejas del mismo sexo brinda mayor seguridad y es un camino menos problemà ¡tico para solicitar la tarjeta de residencia, incluso en los casos en los que ya se està ¡ viviendo en una situacià ³n de unià ³n civil o pareja de hecho.  ¿Quà © pasa si mi pareja se encuentra fuera de los Estados Unidos y no podemos casarnos en su paà ­s de origen? Las leyes de inmigracià ³n de los Estados Unidos permiten la solicitud de una visa de prometido para parejas cuya intencià ³n es contraer matrimonio. Una vez que la visa es concedida, la persona extranjera puede entrar legalmente en Estados Unidos y la pareja debe contraer matrimonio en los 90 dà ­as siguientes en un estado que legalmente permite este tipo de matrimonio (esta visa solo aplica a ciudadanos, no a residentes) Asimismo, estas parejas pueden viajar a otro paà ­s donde el matrimonio entre personas del mismo sexo està ¡ legalmente reconocido y luego seguir el procedimiento consular que siguen las parejas casadas heterosexuales en el paà ­s de origen del cà ³nyuge extranjero. Conseguà ­ mi tarjeta de residencia por matrimonio con una mujer, pero desde entonces he hecho pà ºblica mi homosexualidad y ahora estoy casado con un hombre.  ¿Puedo solicitar una tarjeta de residencia para à ©l? Las personas que obtuvieron su residencia por razà ³n de un matrimonio anterior no tienen necesariamente una prohibicià ³n para solicitar a su nuevo cà ³nyuge. Sin embargo, como en todos los casos de matrimonio, esas personas tiene la obligacià ³n de demostrar que su relacià ³n es de buena fe. En estos casos un abogado experto puede ayudarte a examinar los posibles riesgos y beneficios y si hay o no un conjunto de circunstancias que pueden levantar sospechas de fraude en el oficial del USCIS que debe decidir sobre el caso. Y si tienes o no evidencia suficiente para vencer cualquier posible sospecha. Una compaà ±Ãƒ ­a americana me ha contratado para trabajar y vivir en los Estados Unidos con una visa H-1B.  ¿Puede tambià ©n vivir en EEUU mi cà ³nyuge que es de mi mismo sexo? Sà ­. Los matrimonios conformados por personas del mismo sexo està ¡n ahora reconocidos con igualdad de derechos migratorios que los matrimonios entre un hombre y una mujer. Si cumple con todos los requisitos para ser elegible, puede acompaà ±ar a su esposo o esposa siempre y cuando se trate de una categorà ­a de visas que contempla la posibilidad de visas derivadas para los cà ³nyuges, como son las H-4 (trabajo), J-2 (intercambio) o F-2 (estudiante), etc.  ¿Quà © pasa si mi pareja està ¡ en los Estados Unidos como indocumentado? ¿Todavà ­a podemos aplicar? Esto va a depender de tu caso concreto. Si la persona extranjera entrà ³ legalmente a los Estados Unidos por una aduana donde fue inspeccionado por un oficial de inmigracià ³n pero simplemente lo que ha hecho es quedarse mà ¡s tiempo del permitido, entonces en muchos casos puede que està © autorizado/a a solicitar la tarjeta de residencia basà ¡ndose en su matrimonio con un ciudadano americano. Pero si entrà ³ a los Estados Unidos simplemente cruzando la frontera sin que un oficial de inmigracià ³n le autorizase la entrada entonces en estos casos tendrà ¡ que salir de EEUU y solicitar la tarjeta de residencia en un consulado en su paà ­s de origen. En todo caso, algunos pueden necesitar solicitar ciertos perdones (conocidos como waiver en inglà ©s). Las leyes migratorias pueden ser muy complicadas en estos casos y si tà º o tu pareja està ¡n en los Estados Unidos como indocumentados o sin estatus, es muy recomendable solicitar el consejo de un abogado experto en estos temas antes de iniciar cualquier trà ¡mite.  ¿Quà © pasa si tenemos hijos? Cuando un ciudadano de los Estados Unidos aplica por una tarjeta de residencia para su esposo/a, tambià ©n puede pedir los papeles para los hijos de su cà ³nyuge por ser sus hijastros. Si el cà ³nyuge extranjero es el padre o la madre biolà ³gico de esos nià ±os, es posiblemente el mejor procedimiento a seguir, incluso en los casos en los que el ciudadano americano considera ya a esos muchachos como hijos propios. En todo caso los hijos deben ser menores de 21 aà ±os de edad, solteros y el matrimonio debe haberse celebrado antes de que los muchachos hayan cumplido los 18.  ¿Quà © pasa con la reforma migratoria? ¿Hay alguna razà ³n por la que puede recomendarse esperar? No se puede predecir lo que va a hacer el Congreso. La reforma migratoria puede ser aprobada o no en el futuro. En cualquier caso no hay modo de saber ahora cuà ¡les serà ­an las protecciones para las personas del colectivo LGBT que contemplarà ­a la ley. Mientras tanto, mientras el Servicio de Naturalizacià ³n e Inmigracià ³n (USCIS, por sus siglas en inglà ©s) y los consulados continà ºan implementando las leyes de inmigracià ³n de los Estados Unidos segà ºn las directrices actuales no es necesario que se aprueben mà ¡s leyes para que las parejas del mismo sexo legalmente casadas inicien sus trà ¡mites para la solicitud de la tarjeta de residencia.  ¿Podemos presentar la solicitud nosotros mismos o necesitamos a un abogado? ¿Necesitamos a un abogado especialista en temas de inmigracià ³n o en asuntos propios del colectivo LGBT? Mientras que es cierto que mucha gente solicita por sà ­ misma y con à ©xito las tarjetas de residencia por razà ³n de matrimonio, hay que tener en cuenta que las leyes de inmigracià ³n pueden ser bastante complicadas. Ademà ¡s, las solicitudes en los casos de matrimonios conformados por personas del mismo sexo es todavà ­a un à ¡rea legal nueva y que muchos oficiales de inmigracià ³n no tiene todavà ­a el suficiente conocimiento o no se sienten cà ³modos con estos asuntos. El consejo de un abogado experto puede ayudar a evitar los problemas que puedan surgir. Las respuestas anteriores sà ³lo tienen un propà ³sito informativo general y NO substituyen o constituyen consejo legal para ningà ºn caso concreto ni tampoco son la base de una relacià ³n abogado-cliente. Deberà ­as consular con un abogado de inmigracià ³n sobre las circunstancias particulares de tu caso antes de tomar ninguna decisià ³n sobre tu situacià ³n o iniciar algà ºn trà ¡mite. Consejos migratorios en caso de green card por matrimonio Tanto los ciudadanos americanos como los residentes permanentes legales pueden solicitar la green card para su cà ³nyuge por razà ³n de matrimonio. Aunque bà ¡sicamente los requisitos son los mismos en ambas situaciones es conveniente destacar importantes diferencias. En primer lugar, el tiempo de tramitacià ³n, ya que es mà ¡s rà ¡pido en el caso de las peticiones presentadas por ciudadanos. Los residentes deben esperar por cupo, segà ºn datos actualizados mensualmente en el boletà ­n de visas.   En segundo lugar, es muy recomendable prestar atencià ³n en los casos en los que el cà ³nyuge pedido està © en Estados Unidos en situacià ³n de indocumentado. La razà ³n es que en el caso de peticià ³n de residentes no pueden ajustar su estatus y en el caso de solicitud de ciudadanos sà ³lo cuando la persona pedida entrà ³ legalmente a los Estados Unidos (con la excepcià ³n de los casados con militares en aplicacià ³n del programa Parole in Place). La consecuencia de ello es que si no es posible ajustar el estatus se tendrà ¡ que finalizar el proceso fuera de los Estados Unidos, lo cual harà ¡ saltar el castigo de los 3 y de los 10 aà ±os. Y en tercer lugar, en algunos casos las tarjetas de residencia que se obtienen por razà ³n de matrimonio con ciudadano pueden ser, inicialmente, temporales por sà ³lo dos aà ±os. En este caso es obligatorio levantar la condicionalidad para convertir esa residencia temporal en permanente. Asimismo, es importante seà ±alar que el solicitante de la green card para su cà ³nyuge puede en cualquier momento poner fin a los trà ¡mites. Sin embargo, esto no puede utilizarse como una amenaza hacia el cà ³nyuge extranjero. Y es que en casos de abuso podrà ­a tener derecho a obtener por sà ­ mismo la green card en base al programa VAWA. Finalmente, al igual que ocurre con los matrimonios heterosexuales, los matrimonios de conveniencia con el fin de obtener la green card està ¡n penados por la ley. Este es un artà ­culo informativo.

The Negative Effect of Global Warming - 892 Words

The idea of global warming has been drilled into many childrens heads’ starting 5th grade. From there, it has never stopped. The idea that the ozone layer is breaking up around the North Pole is scary, and there isn’t anything society can do about it. It’s not like an illness or cut where a doctor can prescribe medicine or put a Band-Aid on it. It’s a real global disaster. It’s a global disaster that could potentially ruin Earth. Global warming is not only affecting people’s health, but it is also destroying life on Earth in its process. For centuries, no one thought much of big clouds of smoke pumped into the sky or the millions of gallons of chemicals dumped into the ocean. Now mankind is paying for it. Although the temperature of Earth has only climbed on average of 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit a year, it quickly adds up (National Geographic News: Reporting Your World Daily). The ice polar caps are quickly melting at a faster rate than ever. The polar caps aren’t the only ones that are melting, it also includes ice on mountain glaciers, Arctic sea ice, and ice sheets covering West Antarctica and Greenland (Global Warming Puts the Arctic on Thin Ice). When the large blocks of ice start to melt, the ability to reflect sunlight is lost. Usually when sunlight hits the polar ice caps, it is reflected back into space (Global Warming Puts the Arctic on Thin Ice). Without the ability, the ocean absorbs the sunlight and heats up ocean water (Global Warming Puts theShow MoreRelatedNegative Effects of Global Warming on Earth819 Words   |  4 Pagesburning fossil fuels.

Adolescent Identity Exploration A Test of Erikson

Adolescent Identity Exploration: A Test of Erikson’s Theory of Transitional Crisis Kidwell, Dunham, and Richard (1995) investigated Erikson’s theory that adolescent identity exploration is associated with a variety of symptoms, such as fluctuations in ego strength, mood swings, rebelliousness, and heightened physical symptoms. They sampled a total of 82 high school students (43 males, 39 females) between the ages of 14 and 17. These students were academically superior high school students who attended the Florida State University Summer Science and Mathematics Camp during the summers of 1988 (30 students) and 1989 (52 students). The minimum requirements for admission to the program included percentile ranks of 90 or more on standardized†¦show more content†¦This may imply that the exploration process may be encouraged by the exposure to the new and different environment. The adolescent may likely to be experiencing a need to explore and learn about the new set ting they are in. This may lead to confusion and uncertainties which may result in the skewed results of the study. When Erikson developed his theory, he suggested that males and females move through the identity versus identity confusion period differently. He argued that males are more likely to proceed through the social development stages in order, developing a stable identity before committing to an intimate relationship with another person. In contrast, he suggested that females reverse the order, seeking intimate relationships and then defining their identities through these relationships (Feldman, 2003). These ideas should be considered by the researchers when designing this study. Gender differences in identity formation should be explored. This also suggests that Erikson’s psychosocial stages of development may not always progress in the order he proposed. Despite the limitations, Erikson’s theory had a great deal of popular appeal, as he shifted the focus aw ay from the more psychosexual emphasis of Freud’s toward a more psychosocial focus. Erikson elaborated on Freud’s stages of development.

Types of Performance Appraisal Methods and Rater Errors Assignment

Essays on Types of Performance Appraisal Methods and Rater Errors Assignment ï » ¿ 1) Types of performance appraisal methods Performance appraisal involves an appreciation of employees for their good performance at work (Cengia, 2011). Different methods have been used for performance appraisal. These include; Management by Objectives (MBO) This is method that awards employees depending on the employee that achieved the objectives previously set by the employer and the employee. In this method, the employer will award the employee depending on the results. The major disadvantage of this method is that performance appraisal will only occur if the employee has achieved the objectives set. However, the method has an advantage of motivating employees to achieve the set objectives. Performance ranking method This is a method that evaluates the performance of the employees and ranks them from the lowest level to the highest level. Employees in the highest level will then be awarded more than those in the lowest level. The major advantage of this method is that it motivates employees to increase their performance in order to be ranked high. However, the method is limited by the fact that it is difficult to measure the level of performance of the employee. The method is therefore subject to biasness (Cengia, 2011). Critical incident method This method of performance appraisal awards employees by identifying the specific instances when the employee might have done something really outstanding and extra ordinary. The major advantage of this method is that it encourages employees to be innovative and creative. One disadvantage of this method is that it limits employees who might be hardworking and yet not innovative. 2) Rater errors Rater errors refer to errors and mistakes made in the process of performance appraisal. These errors include; Halo Effect This is an error which occurs when the employer generates inappropriate results due to focusing at single outstanding positive or negative characteristics of the employee. Halo effect also occurs when the employer allows his or her personal feelings to affect the process of the appraisal. Leniency Leniency error occurs when the rater gives all the employees positive remarks instead of giving the true remarks irrespective of whether they are negative or positive. Leniency error mostly occurs when the employer is trying to avoid conflict with the workers. Central tendency error This error occurs when the employer avoids giving exceptionally high or exceptionally low results to employees. He therefore gives average remarks to employees irrespective of the fact that employees are different.
