Is there another way to apply for a green card if I work on a cruise ship in the United States?

Community Answer

No. Although they may be U.S.-branded, cruise ships are registered offshore in countries like Romania. The same rules apply.

Question

I was called by a person who asked a lot of questions regarding my green card application. I was told that I have to pay a $250 fee. Is this legitimate?

Community Answer

Did you check the phone number online to see if it's a scam? I'd start there.

Does a long term relationship qualify as a spouse or does one have to be legally married to qualify as a spouse?

Community Answer

A legally binding marriage is required to qualify as a spouse. You can call each other whatever you like, but to be legally considered spouses, you are required to be wed legally.
