I am a Canadian First Nations Indian and got married in the Us does that make a citizen of the U.S?

I know that the U.S and Canadian Govt's have an agreement as far as working and living goes, but I am not sure what I would have to do to get some U.S Gov't assistance in the U.S if I should ever need it. Do I have to apply for U.S citizenship? And how does a First Nation indian go about doing that?I am a Canadian First Nations Indian and got married in the Us does that make a citizen of the U.S?
If you are a First Nations member and 50% or more Native American by blood, you do not have to apply for citizenship. The only benefit of citizenship would be the right to vote.





As a North American Indian, you can freely cross the border for the purpose of immigration, work, education and trade.





This is a Treaty right.





Article III of the Jay Treaty declared the right of American Indians born in Canada to trade and travel between the United States and Canada,





This right was restated in section 289 of the 1952 U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Act.





Currently codified as 8 U.S.C. § 1359: Nothing in this title shall be construed to affect the right of American Indians born in Canada to pass the borders of the United States, but such right shall extend only to persons who possess at least 50 per centum of blood of the American Indian race.





Although an artificial border was placed through our territory. That border does not extinguish your right to our traditional lands.





You will be subject to all the same laws, and entitled to work and contribute to the social security system like any other American.





All you need to do is to apply for your social security card. That is the main identification card that you will need.

you have to go to immigration and fill out some papers..they'll tell you what exactly...that's going to be your proof of you staying legally in US...and you won't be able to get any gov't assistent unless you are an american citizen...
Your spouse must petition for you to be allowed to stay. They must change your status to a spousal visa ASAP. Check out CIS website





And you do make things a LOT worse by talking about getting welfare. It is possible that you ONLY married the American, to gain those benefits. Whats wrong with staying in Canada to get them?
Govt assistance ??? Go back to Canada! You make immigrants look bad by leaching off the system, that is if by government assistance you mean welfare.
i am getting tired of people like you you haven't been here you're already thinking of Gov't '***' istance just stay where ever you are we don't need another of you here get it or move to UR Anus insteads
NO No you're not one of US yet you must apply for naturalization after 3 full yrs of residency
no, you must be born here,or go through customs and become a citizen. good luck on getting through to immigration they are swamped at this time. by the way welcome .
First, did you married an american?


if you didn't this is an awfully stupid question.


If you did then, you have to apply for naturalization.


But dude, you really sound like you got married just for a green card, and that is awfully sad. Plus in order to be elligible to get citizenship your marriage must be economically stable or you won't be granted with a green card, so goverment assistance will not look good in your record when you apply for citizenship. So ou better work your *** out or go back to Canada or India!!!
You don't get government assistance if you marry an American and move to the US. That's why they go through the paperwork process.. they don't allow immigrants into the country who need assistance. If your husband can prove that he can support you without welfare,etc.. then you'll be approved. Being a First Nation Indian in Canada benefits you in CANADA.. NOT THE UNITED STATES. You're not a citizen either.
