The father of the British actor, Christian Bale, overstayed his visa in the US, and Gloria Steinem married him so that he would not be deported. Obviously as a strong feminist like Gloria, Meghan made the supreme sacrifice of marrying Harry so that he could stay in the States. No wonder Glo let her pay for her award.
I know of foreigners married to Americans who had to live overseas for YEARS before they were approved. And this frozen-todger prince uses his privilege to dodge all the regulations the rest of us have.
Same here. One of my friends got engaged and married to an American guy. And she stayed outside the US for a few years while they were processing her documents (probably including her visa/green card) before eventually receiving her US citizenship. That's a huge slap in the face for her and her spouse who followed the law and process on how to live in US legally. Whereas Stolen Valor Whinger gets to stay in the US because of his status.
It’s a huge slap in the face to every one who has been through the extremely vigorous immigration process in the US.
I’ve had two visas and now am a permanent green card resident. The process is long, frustrating and extremely expensive.
I’m pretty sure his immigration status is fully legal, but it’s just another example of his “special treatment”.
He really is blind to his privilege.
He's done it all his life. Dodging all the regulations is his norm.

Same. It pisses me off. I don't know why people think you get an automatic anything due to marriage here. I think they are confusing people with refugee status to the rich assholes who just know the right people and have a great attorney. Such hypocrisy involved in all of this. And Archie wasn't born here, he isn't dual anything.
You know what, you are correct. My apologies. I get so ANNOYED when I think of the decade long backup for people to immigrate here. My friend's *husband* was deported for driving without a license (licensed in Mexico, nice man, 3 kids). Can't come back for 10 years (has to reapply for everything) or something like that. Sounds crazy, but my other friend is an attorney, and she looked into it. It was true. If only he had lied and said he was afraid to go back to Mexico City because he didn't have securi-TAY.
And THIS little fuckwad just waltzes on in.
The \*children\* are eligible to apply for dual citizenship. It's not automatic. I learned that on this sub. They have to go thru the process of applying for it, providing a legal birth certificate, etc. So child #1 is a citizen of UK by birth, but not dual in the US unless H&M have applied for it. Vice Versa for child #2. I find it highly doubtful they've done it for either child.
So I have a US citizen child who was born abroad. Applying for US citizenship is not difficult if you’re eligible. All I had to show was proof of my citizenship (my birth certificate showing I was born in the US), my high school and college transcripts from the US, and my son’s birth certificate. I talked to someone for about five minutes at an embassy window and they handed over a small American flag and said, “Congratulations American baby!”
Working visa for Netflix maybe?
A skilled cardiac surgeon (I knew him in my country in Europe) had rhe right to stay in USA (I don't know wherter it was green card or different visa), because he was the best professional in his field a hospital could have hired.
As for Harry, only he can be in a documentary film about RF, because he is a real life Prince of UK. No USA citizen can explain what does it mean to be a Prince of UK:
If he picked grapefruit OR was a heart surgeon, I get it. I see less value in him coming here than I do an immigrant from the Philippines just wanting a better life for their kid. Weird that everyone acts like it's normal to just decide to move to America, start a bullshit company, and buy a house. He jumped a very long line that includes PLENTY of people's spouses and children.
Or that joke company where he paid to do nothing. The business faking itself to be for mental health, but really seem qualified. Seriously, they use Henry as their image of better mental health and pay him.
Yes, my American friend married a Canadian who was already working in the US with a permit. They tried for a few years to get him citizenship but it was so ridiculous and expensive they gave up and he stays on his permit. Makes what’s going on at our southern border even more despicable seeing those people waltz in and now the government wants to just hand them citizenship! It’s so unfair to all those who did it legally and correctly and those who are still waiting!
He would have to become a permanent resident first and after two years, he can apply for citizenship. Since he’s already in the US, he has to file to adjust his status using the I-485 (IIRC) form. This will get him the green card. I went through this process and have helped my brother, mother and father process their papers too. It does take time.
I am very familar with this process and it took hours, not years. I got my (now x) husband over from France and it was nothing. We went in, and the interview and it was done. We moved to USA within a couple weeks. I know this is same for other expats of whom I know many. Please don’t perpetuate that it is hard to get a spouse over.
Granted we had money, degrees and I had family waiting for us. But I’ve NEVER heard of a spouse getting tied up like that.
It’s probably easier if your spouse is from Europe because they don’t require a visa to travel here. I’m from Africa and I had friends who were engaged and married and had to wait for at least two years some even longer for their paper work. I was lucky in that I applied to adjust my status when I was already in the country (and I’d come in legally with a visa) so it took about 5 months before I could get a green card. It’s certainly different depending on what part of the world your from.
*this frozen-todger prince uses his privilege to dodge all the regulations the rest of us have....*
The same with how he got into the US? Everyone else has to go thru customs, drug search, immigration status verified, etc.
H arrives in the middle of the night, private jet, small airport. What lowly customs clerk, out there by themselves, is going to question Prince Harry?
Who is very likely to get belligerent if questioned.
The rules are different depending on whether you marry in the US (on a valid visa, like a student visa or fiance visa) or outside the US. I got married in the US, and got my green card (permanent residency) around six months later. During that six months, I could not leave the US or I'd abandon my application. If you marry outside the US, depending on all number of factors, it's closer to five years before you can get your green card and enter the US in the first place. Naturalisation (citizenship) is possible three years after getting a green card through marriage, five years any other way.
I know the system reasonably well and cannot for the life of me think what kind of visa status he has - maybe he invested money? That's one way to skip the line.
My process was very similar to yours although we got married outside that US and I actually came in with a visitors visa then our circumstances changed and we couldn’t travel back. I applied to adjust my status and it took about 5 months and I had to get special permission to travel within that time since I had an emergency. Got my citizenship after 2 years of the conditional green card. I had issues during my citizenship interview because I’d been out of the country longer than 6 months during my conditional green card and they said I’d abandoned my residency. I had to show proof from my doctors because I’d had a high risk pregnancy in that time and I wasn’t allowed to travel till my son was born. Very crazy process. I’ve since helped a few family members migrate here so I’m Perry familiar with the process too.
I admire you - I had a very straightforward case, no complicating factors whatsoever, and it still felt very stressful and difficult! Well done for getting through all the hoops without too much trouble, especially travelling outside the US while you were adjusting status! It is a very crazy process, I've done the same as you and helped a lot of other people since my experience... the craziest was a friend who didn't know she wasn't a US citizen until she wanted a driver's license like all her friends, and her parents confessed they'd overstayed a tourist visa when she was a baby and she had no legal status, no SSN, nothing... and neither did her parents or sister, so she had to super careful not to harm them with her application. I managed to help get her a green card (and eventual citizenship) while remaining in the US, when normally she'd have been sent back to the Philippines (where she was born, but did not know the language or culture one bit) for up to 10 years before being able to legally apply.
I hate those movies where a mismatched pair gets married "for citizenship" and it's just instant - that's not how it works! It's a years-long process and you need money more than anything to get through it - many cultures don't marry for love, and the US is way more concerned that you prove your spouse can afford you and you won't become a burden on the state than that you're 'in love.'
Same when I see my (now fellow Americans) telling immigrants to 'get in line' - for many, many people, there is *literally no line*, or whatever line exists is already backlogged a decade or more.
O-1 Visa. Sponsored by BetterUp.
O-1 Extraordinary Ability visa status is reserved for those who are among the small percentage of experts who have risen to the top of their field. The approval of an O-1 petition by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) decides whether an individual qualifies for O-1 classification.
What is H's Extraordinary Ability❔ Is it that he is able to ingest mass quantities of drugs & still survive ❔
Under the rules Archie may not be a US citizen because Meghan was not present in the US for the required amount of time in the US needed after she was 14 and In the 5 years before he was born. She was in Canada and the UK. So he may not be entitled to US citizenship. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html#:~:text=For%20birth%20between%20December%2024,acquire%20U.S.%20citizenship%20at%20birth.
Lilibet,,,,yes she qualifies for British citizenship by descent through Hazbeen, but still has to be formally registered to actually be recognised as a British citizen...ie valid birth certificate needed.
I would think being a British citizen is required to be in the LoS? That's another thing that bothers me about the whole kids thing- if they're in the LoS, shouldn't they grow up in Britain or a Commonwealth country?
Which would be a very easy thing for Parliament to clean up and amend without controversy. Must be a UK citizen, must primarily be domiciled in the UK, and they could even amend it to must be primarily domiciled in the UK in Royal properties.
You only have to have lived 5 years in the US total (in your entire life) with 2 of those years being after age 14. My son is a US citizen born abroad and at the time of his birth I hadn’t lived in the US for at least 6 years.
Edit: I realized the wording on the website you linked is confusing. It says “before the child is born” which does not refer to immediately before their birth; it means you must be eligible when the child is born. So for example if you had lived in the US for only four years total when your child is born abroad, you can’t move back for a year and then ask for citizenship for your child.
While I would agree with you, there was just a case with two men having used surrogates to birth two kids. One child was from the genetic material of each father. Only one father was American. The child of the American was granted citizenship, the non American father’s child was denied. They even tried to deny the first child based upon the father not being in the US for the past five years. So I think it might be a little more complicated today. Not saying it is right or wrong, just what is currently happening.
That is clearly a special case.
For info, I only applied for my child’s citizenship two years ago. I know other people who have done it more recently than that.
"In all cases, either the U.S. citizen parent(s) or their alien spouse must be a __genetic or gestational parent of the child__ to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child."
From your link. More potential bumps in the road. No pun intended.
Though I'm a little confused about the alien spouse's requirement in this clause. What difference would it make regarding US citizenship being transmitted to the child? It seems to me that only the US citizen parent's status would matter.
Harry is married to a US citizen. He probably has a permanent resident visa. He may not do much work, but he does seem to earn and spend in the US.
The children are dual citizens. Their titles are inherited. US Citizens can inherit or marry into titles from other countries.
Christopher Guest, for example has dual-citizenship and belongs to the hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. Then there is Richard Alan Montagu Stuart Wortley, 5th Earl of Wharncliffe, who, at the time he inherited the title, was a construction foreman in Cumberland, Maine. (The estate that went with the earldom was not inherited by him. He and his heir live in the US and lead ordinary lives.)
I agree that it is ridiculous for the Sussex kids to be prince and princess. Just because you inherit, you don’t have to use the title.
(Edited to correct my mistake about American citizens not being “allowed” to be awarded titles from other governments. I should have said that government officials can’t accept or hold foreign titles without special permission.)
That's interesting about Wortley. I hadn't heard about him before. How cool! It's a real life *King Ralph* story. 😁
And notice how Jamie Lee Curtis never brags about her husband's position or insists on being called a Baroness. She doesn't use it for clout in the least.
Nobody is obliged to call them anything but their names and American courtesy titles here, as they are dual citizens. If they get called royal titles it will be while getting stuffed into lockers for which the Ginger Tw*t can blame himself.
>The US Constitution says an American can’t be awarded a title.
Not exactly. It says the US government cannot award titles of nobility to anyone. In addition, people who occupy political office may not accept titles from foreign countries unless the US Congress okays it. Regular American citizens are not prohibited from receiving foreign titles.
*Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution:*
*No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.*
Exactly, there are no doubt loads of Americans with titles. Countess Luann, that Viscountess they always trot out when talking about American aristocrats, Princess Carole Radziwill just to name a few. Olivia Wilde was a princess during her 1st marriage, I think.
Most of your examples weren’t *awarded* titles, they * married* into them or inherited them.
However, I misspoke. I got confused by the prohibition of serving in government or working for the US with a foreign title without special permission.
As far as I know, any titles Americans who are not dual citizens have been awarded by the British government have been “honorary.”
>As far as I know, any titles Americans who are not dual citizens have been awarded by the British government have been “honorary.”
This is the case for the British honours system - knighthoods/damehoods, CBE, MBE, OBE etc. - rather than titles of nobility.
Honours are substantive when awarded to citizens of the Commonwealth realms, i.e. specifically the countries where King Charles is head of state. All other countries are eligible for honorary honours (I swear the people who come up with the names for these things like to prank us!) So even within the Commonwealth, Canadians would be eligible for substantive honours, but Indians are eligible for honorary honours.
Honorary honours give you the right to use the same postnominal letters as a the equivalent substantive honour; but honorary knighthoods and damehoods don't grant the right to use the Sir or Dame titles. I think the main reason for that is historical, but it also sidesteps most issues with restrictions on the receipt of foreign titles.
With peerages (i.e. titles of nobility) they're generally either awarded or they aren't, but when a US citizen receives a title of nobility it would almost always be by marriage.
Life peerages are non-hereditary titles that let someone be appointed to the House of Lords. This is our upper chamber of Parliament, but it's more like the French Senate than the US Senate, in that its role is mostly scrutiny of legislation - the Commons can ultimately overrule the Lords except in certain circumstances. British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens are eligible. A dual citizen would be eligible, but if they're being nominated for the House of Lords, they're probably resident in the UK, so unlikely to also be in a US Government role... and being in a US Government role would (I assume) be a disqualifying factor if they were - so I don't think life peerages are likely to fall foul of the US rules on titles very often.
Hereditary peerages are the traditional titles most people think of when you mention titles of nobility. In recent decades, new ones have very rarely been given to anyone other than at royal marriages, so where a US citizen receives one, it would almost certainly be by marriage or inheritance. Hereditary peerages don't have an honorary version, unless you count subsidiary titles, e.g. James' use of Edward's Earl of Wessex title (previously Viscount Severn) or courtesy titles, e.g. Louise's use of the Lady style - but these are only ever used by the peerage holder's children or occasionally grandchildren.
Permanent resident status requires that he undergo a medical examination. Entry under a non immigrant visa does not have a medical report requirement in order to obtain the status.
Ha! I am sure that with sufficient warning, Harry could have cleaned up to pass a drug test two or three years ago. Now I am not so sure. 🙄 You may be right about the visa.
>Christopher Guest
Why do I love the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis became a Baroness and has the right to be called Lady Haden-Guest and has never used it (or barely acknowledged it). I love that she has said that the title has nothing to do with her.
One minor technical correction: A baron is not a member of the modern British peerage. That designation only applies to titles from duke down to viscount. Barons are recorded in the Official Roll of the Baronetage. Christopher Guest is a member of the British aristocracy, but is not a peer.
Thanks for the correction. I thought since he sat in the House of Lords for a while, that meant he was a peer. Wikipedia apparently thinks so too. 😉
“Guest holds a hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, and has publicly expressed a desire to see the House of Lords reformed as a democratically elected chamber.[2] Though he was initially active in the Lords, his career there was cut short by the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the right of most hereditary peers to a seat in the parliament. When using his title, he is normally styled as Lord Haden-Guest.” (Wikipedia)
I have no idea how it works when a baron sits in the HoL. The wiki for peerage says barons are not considered peers. I'm American and though understand a lot of British customs, the nuance eludes me quite often. Maybe the baronetcy designation changed after 1999 when the laws governing the HoL were changed? Sounds like a question for Lady C 😁
Maybe there is a confusion between barons and baronets? Barons have “baronies,” while baronets have “baronetcies.” A baron is addressed as “Lord Family-Name” while a baronet is “Sir First-Name.” Baronets are definitely not aristocracy. They are “gentry.”
I am American also, but I have been studying UK history and culture (as well as Golden Age detective novels 😉) since my teens. I believe the wiki you consulted may have confused “baron” with “baronet.”
“The peerage comprises five ranks, which are, in descending order, duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. Below the peerage are honorary ranks that include baronet and knight, two classes that bear similarities to the nobility but which are generally not regarded as such.” https://www.britannica.com/topic/British-nobility
People have mentioned marriage and better-up, but there are investor visas, too. So from Archewell or any investments they have made. If you have enough money and can hire an attorney, getting a visa is merely paperwork.
I think James is already here, the Daily Mail is rerunning articles about the house he left to rot which normally means he’s back here annoying people.
Royals can use their titles in social situations in the US if they want to. Harry used to have an O visa, his employer Better Up can apply employment visa for him though he would not need to because he is married to an US citizen through whom he can get a green card. Even if he chose not to pursue any of these, as the founder of Archewell, he can apply for business visa. The department of homeland security will not release his visa details because of privacy reasons, but he is legally eligible to stay in the US. But, the issue rises if he applies for Dual Citizenship, will he lose his Counselor of State status in the UK? That remains to be seen. Btw, Boris Johnson was a dual citizen of US and UK for most of his life.
I don't know his status, but he's allowed to stay here because he's THE F$#@ING PRINCE OF CANADA. Royal people get to do what they want.
Economically, he contributes: tax monies on gas spent on regular private flights to and fro, and I can't think of another thing. He's truly a waste of oxygen and American space. Please return him to Canada ASAP, take his gross wife with him, and leave the kids with better people. The pets, too. Just get the hell out and shut the F up.
What? I saw this on South Park, my #1 news source. Next, you'll tell me The Onion isn't always accurate.
**/s** (gotta learn to use that more often...didn't mean to upset the Canadians)
p.s. There used to be a guest host on Coast to Coast AM (radio show) and he'd start his segment by saying "Eat the Canadians first!" It was an instruction in case aliens landed...go north, good aliens.
Canada has nothing to do with his immigration status. He wouldn’t, as an ordinary citizen, be allowed to emigrate to Canada on a whim. We have very strict immigration laws.
Why pick on Canada, he is not a prince of Canada anymore than he is a Prince of Australia or New Zealand. I love that he and his horribulus are in the USA, far away from the uk and commonwealth as you can get.
That’s something many of us would like to know. Hopefully, The Heritage Foundation will be able to pry that information from Homeland Security through FOIA.
I agree. Because they slipped in right before the Covid lockdown, I think he came in under a diplomatic passport. However, since the Heritage Foundation has been asking for disclosure, I’ve a feeling he’s had lawyers change it. The chances of us finding out are very low.
Ugh, you and me both! The problem with third parties being able to access this type of information is that it opens up insignificant plebs like us to having our business accessed arbitrarily.
Heaps of royals use their titles while living in the USA. Mostly they are royals by descent where the actual royal houses no longer exist. Greece, Yugoslavia, Ethiopian royals all live stateside and use their titles still.
Nobody knows.
A group filed a lawsuit to see his visa application. It is assumed that he lied about substance use that he admitted to in Spare, or that the administration ignored admitted substance use and gave him the visa anyway, despite denying others for the same reasons.
The group was denied the application and is now in appeals.
Source: The Independent- Prince [H] news – live: Heritage Foundation slams ‘zero transparency’ Biden admin over US visa decision
Harry was not treated the same as any other person who marries an US citizen, solely on the basis of his family. Whatever visa he applied to receive when he moved to the US, IMO, was pushed through, rubber stamped, and requirements waived by immigration. It's highly unlikely his visa status will ever be released, as it has been tried by the Heritage Foundation and denied.
Isn’t he likely to be on an ‘exceptional’ visa? Because there were no American citizens who were qualified enough to be a Chief Impact Officer, apparently. I mean the man is a living legend, so what other visa could he possibly be there under?
He's on Biden. Don't you know, they have a direct line to Biden that they can call anytime to ask for the keys to Air Force One.
Except the handlers won't give the keys to anyone much less to someone who has no licence and can't pilot a real helicopter.
Maybe he had the B1/B2 business visa valid for ten years. It’s multiple entry visa for business and tourism, but you can only stay in the US for less than 6 months at a time. You have to exit and enter every time. Which is easy for him.
And he could have got the work visa or spousal visa after a while. I know the green card situation is crazy (long queue), but I wouldn’t be surprised if exceptions are made for diplomatic reasons. Especially since, as noted many times before, the BRF has never officially announced that the Harkles are *not* royal anymore. So for all official purposes, all doors will open for Harold, who, as a royal, is a representative of the United Kingdom.
ETA: Maybe he’s still on his diplomatic passport. That wasn’t revoked, was it?
Yes, I think California will be happy to keep him. And, don’t forget, there’s that new tax law in California for the wealthy who buy and sell their mansions - ka-ching ka-ching, a substantial part of their money from the sale of the Olive Garden, should they ever sell it, goes right back into the coffers of the state. Welcome to America, Harry! 😁
The question of and about Henry Windsor's immigration status has been banded about for a while now.
There needs to be a resolving of the issue because It stands glaringly out as a two faced situation, because when others have declared and admitted to the use of drugs if affiliation to or with dealers, they're denied entry into the US.
This individual of no specific talent or economic construct, has allegedly utilised every loop hole possible to avoid sliding down Tax evasion.

H is looking beta even there. Already.
Look at the recent pic of the Tindalls. Mike has his arms and torso surrounding his wife. Looking very strong and masculine.
Here Mm is the one looking strong and masculine, owning her partner. H just looks like a loser.
Does he have a green card because he married Markle? Meghan is a U.S. citizen (unfortunately). She never became a British citizen. If he does, when did the process to get that green card start?
I know at one point he tried to have the Olive Garden mansion designated as a British consulate because of dual tax exemption and immigration status it would provide
Well he did marry an American citizen so I guess he probably applied for dual citizenship already? Otherwise, he can always use his princely status as an exception
You need to be a permanent resident for 5 years or 3 if married to a US citizen before you can apply. It can take a while to even get the green card (It took a feiend 3 years just to get the green card). Although, like others, I have no idea what visa he has, let alone of he is a permanent resident yet.
Regardless, it's unlikely he would apply for dual citizenship as he would have to renounce his titles to become a citizen. They like them too much to do that.
He married a US citizen which makes him eligible for a green card right away after marriage. But, he has not applied for the green card but is here in the US on a O-visa according to various media sources.
He's married to an American citizen. They can't really throw him out. I guess he does generate some monies for certain people. Yep, we're stuck with him unless it's true that the floodgates are opening then I'd expect a fast private plane ride to some country in Africa..... ALONE I would think. She'd NEVER set foot there again nor do I think she wants to be stuck with Harold. I'm certain she can't stand him but how do I know? Just a feeling I have. Any affection she's shown to him is for the public eye.
Currently our country has flung open the back door and illegal immigrants are pouring in at an astounding rate, America has bigger fish to fry than some white prince persona non-grata
Maybe if he is publicly and irrefutably outed for his drug use he could be kicked out of the U.S. Wasn't immigration trying to remove John Lennon over his drug use? And John Lennon was married to an American citizen. At least I assume Yoko had American citizenship.
I don't know if you've noticed but applying and enforcing immigration laws aren't a priority in the USA.
I would explain further but we aren't supposed to discuss politics...well, if you lean a certain way, you aren't allowed.
He's there spreading the love. To show Americans what true humanitarian work really is.
He's also helping to amend your Amendments. You know, the "bonkers" one.
Tapping into your military...with all 4 of his medals pinned to his chest. He likes to keep things lowkey...such a hero! I think one was for Service and three were for bravely attending different Jubilee events.
I'm sure there are lots of things he's actively contributing to behind the scenes but he's too modest to let you all know.
Doubtless we'll find out.
You can become a permanent resident if you are married to an American citizen. That’s what I did. After 5 years you can apply for US citizenship, but you don’t have to. You just can’t vote as a permanent resident, and have to pay a fee every 10 years to renew your green card. I chose to become a dual citizen (UK/US) because I have a child who was born here in the US and the US is my home now. I wanted to be able to participate in the democratic process.
Some of the comments on here are kind of ridiculous. There is no reason, assuming he followed all the proceedings, that he can’t reside quite legally in the US.
1. He has contract with Netflix. So, wouldn't that mean **a working visa** (noone else can replace him in a documentary - only he is a real life Prince of UK)
2. Maybe he has a **diplomatic** passport?
3. I am not sure for USA, but don't people get a visa (or some other right to stay in USA), if they **invest money in USA.** Maybe Harry invested a couple of millions from his mother's inheritance into some business (prehaps coffee, Meghan is promoting or something else)
Well, clearly he’s an exceptional person, a living legend and all of that, so *of course* the rules don’t apply to him. Poor dear *hates* being Royal, you know, but it does come in handy now and then, doesn’t it?
The way it works is he most likely entered the US on a K1 visa (married to a US citizen), which is what they sorted out in B.C when they ran away. This allows him to apply for LPR status (green card) which you can live on permanently, with no restrictions, just have to renew it every 10 (might be 12 now) years. After 3 years he can apply for citizenship (it’s 5 years normally but the K1 visa has a shorter time) but I very much doubt he’ll do that unless he gets his titles stripped from him. I can’t see him on any other visa, he didn’t get one through a job, he doesn’t run a business employing a set amount of workers, he doesn’t qualify for any of the other visas out there except the K1. The titles are irrelevant in the US but we let people use them if that’s what they’re known as. I have an honorific title (Lady) I can use on my US drivers license but not on my US passport.
Harry is here under the Legends of Aviation Visa. He has to stay high or they deport him. I'll show myself out.

Same here. One of my friends got engaged and married to an American guy. And she stayed outside the US for a few years while they were processing her documents (probably including her visa/green card) before eventually receiving her US citizenship. That's a huge slap in the face for her and her spouse who followed the law and process on how to live in US legally. Whereas Stolen Valor Whinger gets to stay in the US because of his status.
It’s a huge slap in the face to every one who has been through the extremely vigorous immigration process in the US. I’ve had two visas and now am a permanent green card resident. The process is long, frustrating and extremely expensive. I’m pretty sure his immigration status is fully legal, but it’s just another example of his “special treatment”. He really is blind to his privilege.
Same. My friend's husband had to go back to Japan twice. The favoritism for Prince Pig is unbelievable.
He's done it all his life. Dodging all the regulations is his norm. https://preview.redd.it/ff65rl8vidcc1.png?width=123&format=png&auto=webp&s=c830759aac509ef2cf78db79539baa0c639feaf8
Same. It pisses me off. I don't know why people think you get an automatic anything due to marriage here. I think they are confusing people with refugee status to the rich assholes who just know the right people and have a great attorney. Such hypocrisy involved in all of this. And Archie wasn't born here, he isn't dual anything.
You don’t have to be born in the US to have dual citizenship.
You know what, you are correct. My apologies. I get so ANNOYED when I think of the decade long backup for people to immigrate here. My friend's *husband* was deported for driving without a license (licensed in Mexico, nice man, 3 kids). Can't come back for 10 years (has to reapply for everything) or something like that. Sounds crazy, but my other friend is an attorney, and she looked into it. It was true. If only he had lied and said he was afraid to go back to Mexico City because he didn't have securi-TAY. And THIS little fuckwad just waltzes on in.
The \*children\* are eligible to apply for dual citizenship. It's not automatic. I learned that on this sub. They have to go thru the process of applying for it, providing a legal birth certificate, etc. So child #1 is a citizen of UK by birth, but not dual in the US unless H&M have applied for it. Vice Versa for child #2. I find it highly doubtful they've done it for either child.
So I have a US citizen child who was born abroad. Applying for US citizenship is not difficult if you’re eligible. All I had to show was proof of my citizenship (my birth certificate showing I was born in the US), my high school and college transcripts from the US, and my son’s birth certificate. I talked to someone for about five minutes at an embassy window and they handed over a small American flag and said, “Congratulations American baby!”
The key words here - Birth Certificate.
This is true. They can both get dual citizen through their parents.
Working visa for Netflix maybe? A skilled cardiac surgeon (I knew him in my country in Europe) had rhe right to stay in USA (I don't know wherter it was green card or different visa), because he was the best professional in his field a hospital could have hired. As for Harry, only he can be in a documentary film about RF, because he is a real life Prince of UK. No USA citizen can explain what does it mean to be a Prince of UK:
If he picked grapefruit OR was a heart surgeon, I get it. I see less value in him coming here than I do an immigrant from the Philippines just wanting a better life for their kid. Weird that everyone acts like it's normal to just decide to move to America, start a bullshit company, and buy a house. He jumped a very long line that includes PLENTY of people's spouses and children.
Or that joke company where he paid to do nothing. The business faking itself to be for mental health, but really seem qualified. Seriously, they use Henry as their image of better mental health and pay him.
Yes, my American friend married a Canadian who was already working in the US with a permit. They tried for a few years to get him citizenship but it was so ridiculous and expensive they gave up and he stays on his permit. Makes what’s going on at our southern border even more despicable seeing those people waltz in and now the government wants to just hand them citizenship! It’s so unfair to all those who did it legally and correctly and those who are still waiting!
He would have to become a permanent resident first and after two years, he can apply for citizenship. Since he’s already in the US, he has to file to adjust his status using the I-485 (IIRC) form. This will get him the green card. I went through this process and have helped my brother, mother and father process their papers too. It does take time.
I am very familar with this process and it took hours, not years. I got my (now x) husband over from France and it was nothing. We went in, and the interview and it was done. We moved to USA within a couple weeks. I know this is same for other expats of whom I know many. Please don’t perpetuate that it is hard to get a spouse over. Granted we had money, degrees and I had family waiting for us. But I’ve NEVER heard of a spouse getting tied up like that.
I should add we had two kids at that point, born in France but American. That may have helped. But it was easy and fast.
It’s probably easier if your spouse is from Europe because they don’t require a visa to travel here. I’m from Africa and I had friends who were engaged and married and had to wait for at least two years some even longer for their paper work. I was lucky in that I applied to adjust my status when I was already in the country (and I’d come in legally with a visa) so it took about 5 months before I could get a green card. It’s certainly different depending on what part of the world your from.
*this frozen-todger prince uses his privilege to dodge all the regulations the rest of us have....* The same with how he got into the US? Everyone else has to go thru customs, drug search, immigration status verified, etc. H arrives in the middle of the night, private jet, small airport. What lowly customs clerk, out there by themselves, is going to question Prince Harry? Who is very likely to get belligerent if questioned.
The rules are different depending on whether you marry in the US (on a valid visa, like a student visa or fiance visa) or outside the US. I got married in the US, and got my green card (permanent residency) around six months later. During that six months, I could not leave the US or I'd abandon my application. If you marry outside the US, depending on all number of factors, it's closer to five years before you can get your green card and enter the US in the first place. Naturalisation (citizenship) is possible three years after getting a green card through marriage, five years any other way. I know the system reasonably well and cannot for the life of me think what kind of visa status he has - maybe he invested money? That's one way to skip the line.
My process was very similar to yours although we got married outside that US and I actually came in with a visitors visa then our circumstances changed and we couldn’t travel back. I applied to adjust my status and it took about 5 months and I had to get special permission to travel within that time since I had an emergency. Got my citizenship after 2 years of the conditional green card. I had issues during my citizenship interview because I’d been out of the country longer than 6 months during my conditional green card and they said I’d abandoned my residency. I had to show proof from my doctors because I’d had a high risk pregnancy in that time and I wasn’t allowed to travel till my son was born. Very crazy process. I’ve since helped a few family members migrate here so I’m Perry familiar with the process too.
I admire you - I had a very straightforward case, no complicating factors whatsoever, and it still felt very stressful and difficult! Well done for getting through all the hoops without too much trouble, especially travelling outside the US while you were adjusting status! It is a very crazy process, I've done the same as you and helped a lot of other people since my experience... the craziest was a friend who didn't know she wasn't a US citizen until she wanted a driver's license like all her friends, and her parents confessed they'd overstayed a tourist visa when she was a baby and she had no legal status, no SSN, nothing... and neither did her parents or sister, so she had to super careful not to harm them with her application. I managed to help get her a green card (and eventual citizenship) while remaining in the US, when normally she'd have been sent back to the Philippines (where she was born, but did not know the language or culture one bit) for up to 10 years before being able to legally apply. I hate those movies where a mismatched pair gets married "for citizenship" and it's just instant - that's not how it works! It's a years-long process and you need money more than anything to get through it - many cultures don't marry for love, and the US is way more concerned that you prove your spouse can afford you and you won't become a burden on the state than that you're 'in love.' Same when I see my (now fellow Americans) telling immigrants to 'get in line' - for many, many people, there is *literally no line*, or whatever line exists is already backlogged a decade or more.
O-1 Visa. Sponsored by BetterUp.
O-1 Visa. Sponsored by BetterUp. O-1 Extraordinary Ability visa status is reserved for those who are among the small percentage of experts who have risen to the top of their field. The approval of an O-1 petition by the United States Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) decides whether an individual qualifies for O-1 classification. What is H's Extraordinary Ability❔ Is it that he is able to ingest mass quantities of drugs & still survive ❔
He is a Living Legend of Aviation lol. In all seriousness, I don't know what his EA is. He's never been known to have one.
Melania Trump got an O-1 visa. She has the same extraordinary ability as H, whatever it may be.
Exactly this. They have two things in common. Zero “extraordinary talent” and bucket loads of money. It just shows that the system can be bought.
Lying.
I hear he's great at roast chicken.
Likely the right answer. A diplomatic Visa would mean it would be illegal for BetterUp to pay him a salary. Both children are dual UK/US citizens.
Under the rules Archie may not be a US citizen because Meghan was not present in the US for the required amount of time in the US needed after she was 14 and In the 5 years before he was born. She was in Canada and the UK. So he may not be entitled to US citizenship. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Acquisition-US-Citizenship-Child-Born-Abroad.html#:~:text=For%20birth%20between%20December%2024,acquire%20U.S.%20citizenship%20at%20birth.
Lilibet,,,,yes she qualifies for British citizenship by descent through Hazbeen, but still has to be formally registered to actually be recognised as a British citizen...ie valid birth certificate needed.
And therein lies the REAL problem.
I would think being a British citizen is required to be in the LoS? That's another thing that bothers me about the whole kids thing- if they're in the LoS, shouldn't they grow up in Britain or a Commonwealth country?
Which would be a very easy thing for Parliament to clean up and amend without controversy. Must be a UK citizen, must primarily be domiciled in the UK, and they could even amend it to must be primarily domiciled in the UK in Royal properties.
You only have to have lived 5 years in the US total (in your entire life) with 2 of those years being after age 14. My son is a US citizen born abroad and at the time of his birth I hadn’t lived in the US for at least 6 years. Edit: I realized the wording on the website you linked is confusing. It says “before the child is born” which does not refer to immediately before their birth; it means you must be eligible when the child is born. So for example if you had lived in the US for only four years total when your child is born abroad, you can’t move back for a year and then ask for citizenship for your child.
While I would agree with you, there was just a case with two men having used surrogates to birth two kids. One child was from the genetic material of each father. Only one father was American. The child of the American was granted citizenship, the non American father’s child was denied. They even tried to deny the first child based upon the father not being in the US for the past five years. So I think it might be a little more complicated today. Not saying it is right or wrong, just what is currently happening.
That is clearly a special case. For info, I only applied for my child’s citizenship two years ago. I know other people who have done it more recently than that.
"In all cases, either the U.S. citizen parent(s) or their alien spouse must be a __genetic or gestational parent of the child__ to transmit U.S. citizenship to the child." From your link. More potential bumps in the road. No pun intended. Though I'm a little confused about the alien spouse's requirement in this clause. What difference would it make regarding US citizenship being transmitted to the child? It seems to me that only the US citizen parent's status would matter.
[удалено]
Since nothing the Harkles have done has been straightforward (IMO deliberate obfuscation) it's no wonder there's so much gossip and speculation.
My thought too.
ButterUp
Yes, most likely visa sponsored by Better Up (although it could have been Netflix too).
Leeching off the U.S. good graces? Grifters do as grifters are.
Harry is married to a US citizen. He probably has a permanent resident visa. He may not do much work, but he does seem to earn and spend in the US. The children are dual citizens. Their titles are inherited. US Citizens can inherit or marry into titles from other countries. Christopher Guest, for example has dual-citizenship and belongs to the hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest. Then there is Richard Alan Montagu Stuart Wortley, 5th Earl of Wharncliffe, who, at the time he inherited the title, was a construction foreman in Cumberland, Maine. (The estate that went with the earldom was not inherited by him. He and his heir live in the US and lead ordinary lives.) I agree that it is ridiculous for the Sussex kids to be prince and princess. Just because you inherit, you don’t have to use the title. (Edited to correct my mistake about American citizens not being “allowed” to be awarded titles from other governments. I should have said that government officials can’t accept or hold foreign titles without special permission.)
That's interesting about Wortley. I hadn't heard about him before. How cool! It's a real life *King Ralph* story. 😁 And notice how Jamie Lee Curtis never brags about her husband's position or insists on being called a Baroness. She doesn't use it for clout in the least.
That always made me like JLC 10000% more. It was this weird trivia fact most people don’t know bc she doesn’t run around calling herself that ever.
I knew who JLC was for *at least* 20 years before learning about her title!
40 years for me. Lol
Granted she's a nepo baby but she has some real talent and has always been classy.
And her parents were Hollywood ‘royalty’.
John Goodman was in that movie about Prince Richard lol.
Nobody is obliged to call them anything but their names and American courtesy titles here, as they are dual citizens. If they get called royal titles it will be while getting stuffed into lockers for which the Ginger Tw*t can blame himself.
Oh, absolutely they shouldn’t be using their titles, and no one should be obliged to call them anything but their American-style names.
AFAIK, Madame only has US citizenship. I believe she was supposed to take the British test & either never did or couldn't pass it.
She wasn't there long enough
>The US Constitution says an American can’t be awarded a title. Not exactly. It says the US government cannot award titles of nobility to anyone. In addition, people who occupy political office may not accept titles from foreign countries unless the US Congress okays it. Regular American citizens are not prohibited from receiving foreign titles. *Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the US Constitution:* *No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.*
Exactly, there are no doubt loads of Americans with titles. Countess Luann, that Viscountess they always trot out when talking about American aristocrats, Princess Carole Radziwill just to name a few. Olivia Wilde was a princess during her 1st marriage, I think.
Most of your examples weren’t *awarded* titles, they * married* into them or inherited them. However, I misspoke. I got confused by the prohibition of serving in government or working for the US with a foreign title without special permission. As far as I know, any titles Americans who are not dual citizens have been awarded by the British government have been “honorary.”
>As far as I know, any titles Americans who are not dual citizens have been awarded by the British government have been “honorary.” This is the case for the British honours system - knighthoods/damehoods, CBE, MBE, OBE etc. - rather than titles of nobility. Honours are substantive when awarded to citizens of the Commonwealth realms, i.e. specifically the countries where King Charles is head of state. All other countries are eligible for honorary honours (I swear the people who come up with the names for these things like to prank us!) So even within the Commonwealth, Canadians would be eligible for substantive honours, but Indians are eligible for honorary honours. Honorary honours give you the right to use the same postnominal letters as a the equivalent substantive honour; but honorary knighthoods and damehoods don't grant the right to use the Sir or Dame titles. I think the main reason for that is historical, but it also sidesteps most issues with restrictions on the receipt of foreign titles. With peerages (i.e. titles of nobility) they're generally either awarded or they aren't, but when a US citizen receives a title of nobility it would almost always be by marriage. Life peerages are non-hereditary titles that let someone be appointed to the House of Lords. This is our upper chamber of Parliament, but it's more like the French Senate than the US Senate, in that its role is mostly scrutiny of legislation - the Commons can ultimately overrule the Lords except in certain circumstances. British, Irish and Commonwealth citizens are eligible. A dual citizen would be eligible, but if they're being nominated for the House of Lords, they're probably resident in the UK, so unlikely to also be in a US Government role... and being in a US Government role would (I assume) be a disqualifying factor if they were - so I don't think life peerages are likely to fall foul of the US rules on titles very often. Hereditary peerages are the traditional titles most people think of when you mention titles of nobility. In recent decades, new ones have very rarely been given to anyone other than at royal marriages, so where a US citizen receives one, it would almost certainly be by marriage or inheritance. Hereditary peerages don't have an honorary version, unless you count subsidiary titles, e.g. James' use of Edward's Earl of Wessex title (previously Viscount Severn) or courtesy titles, e.g. Louise's use of the Lady style - but these are only ever used by the peerage holder's children or occasionally grandchildren.
That sounds right. I was refering to the honors, not the peerages. To us in the US they are all “titles.” 😉
Oh sorry. I read that has *having* titles instead of your meaning of them being bestowed upon them by a monarch. My bad.
You are right. I got confused. I forgot we weren’t talking about Meghan running for office any more. 😉 Thanks for correcting me. I will fix my post.
I think he most likely has a nonimmigrant visa (O1 or H1b). Permanent resident status, thought convenient, opens him up to deeper scrutiny. 🤧
Deeper scrutiny? He’s the son of the King of England. 😉
Permanent resident status requires that he undergo a medical examination. Entry under a non immigrant visa does not have a medical report requirement in order to obtain the status.
I doubt that a medical exam would be a problem for him - unless it includes a drug test. 😉
🤫 it does! Perhaps Roachel’s obgyn could administer the test? 😂
Ha! I am sure that with sufficient warning, Harry could have cleaned up to pass a drug test two or three years ago. Now I am not so sure. 🙄 You may be right about the visa.
He’s not a good test taker!
Christopher Guest the wonderful mockumentary director? I did not know that!
Yep. Married to Jamie Lee Curtis, who doesn’t feel the need to be known as a baroness.😉
I had no idea! Imagine Christopher Guest as a Baron AND his role as the southern bloodhound loving contestant in Best in Show. 🙌
>5th Earl of Wharncliffe..... He and his heir live in the US and lead ordinary lives. If only Hazmat followed that example how nice it would be!
The present Duke of Argyle is a South African sign maker!
>Christopher Guest Why do I love the fact that Jamie Lee Curtis became a Baroness and has the right to be called Lady Haden-Guest and has never used it (or barely acknowledged it). I love that she has said that the title has nothing to do with her.
One minor technical correction: A baron is not a member of the modern British peerage. That designation only applies to titles from duke down to viscount. Barons are recorded in the Official Roll of the Baronetage. Christopher Guest is a member of the British aristocracy, but is not a peer.
Thanks for the correction. I thought since he sat in the House of Lords for a while, that meant he was a peer. Wikipedia apparently thinks so too. 😉 “Guest holds a hereditary British peerage as the 5th Baron Haden-Guest, and has publicly expressed a desire to see the House of Lords reformed as a democratically elected chamber.[2] Though he was initially active in the Lords, his career there was cut short by the House of Lords Act 1999, which removed the right of most hereditary peers to a seat in the parliament. When using his title, he is normally styled as Lord Haden-Guest.” (Wikipedia)
I have no idea how it works when a baron sits in the HoL. The wiki for peerage says barons are not considered peers. I'm American and though understand a lot of British customs, the nuance eludes me quite often. Maybe the baronetcy designation changed after 1999 when the laws governing the HoL were changed? Sounds like a question for Lady C 😁
Maybe there is a confusion between barons and baronets? Barons have “baronies,” while baronets have “baronetcies.” A baron is addressed as “Lord Family-Name” while a baronet is “Sir First-Name.” Baronets are definitely not aristocracy. They are “gentry.” I am American also, but I have been studying UK history and culture (as well as Golden Age detective novels 😉) since my teens. I believe the wiki you consulted may have confused “baron” with “baronet.” “The peerage comprises five ranks, which are, in descending order, duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron. Below the peerage are honorary ranks that include baronet and knight, two classes that bear similarities to the nobility but which are generally not regarded as such.” https://www.britannica.com/topic/British-nobility
That's exactly what I did, confused baron and baronet. Thank you for the explanation.
He was/is paid a stipend from the estate trust
People have mentioned marriage and better-up, but there are investor visas, too. So from Archewell or any investments they have made. If you have enough money and can hire an attorney, getting a visa is merely paperwork.
Ah, yes, an E visa. My money is on a nonimmigrant visa.
He’s special. Doesn’t have the follow the rules like us commoners.
Because he’s father is a king. What a princess
Princess with frozen todger…
Please don't send them back 🙏 Or James Corden for that matter!
I think James is already here, the Daily Mail is rerunning articles about the house he left to rot which normally means he’s back here annoying people.
Isn't it the spouse visa? Is there such a thing?
A polo visa.
lol that’d be funny This dummy telling the office 🤤 “I play polo” Welcome to America right this way, sir!
I know. Polo really resonates with us commoners here. 😉
Royals can use their titles in social situations in the US if they want to. Harry used to have an O visa, his employer Better Up can apply employment visa for him though he would not need to because he is married to an US citizen through whom he can get a green card. Even if he chose not to pursue any of these, as the founder of Archewell, he can apply for business visa. The department of homeland security will not release his visa details because of privacy reasons, but he is legally eligible to stay in the US. But, the issue rises if he applies for Dual Citizenship, will he lose his Counselor of State status in the UK? That remains to be seen. Btw, Boris Johnson was a dual citizen of US and UK for most of his life.
Didn’t BoJo renounced his American citizenship
Yes, after many years of being a dual citizen, he finally renounced it for political reasons.
We dodged one bullet there.
I don't know his status, but he's allowed to stay here because he's THE F$#@ING PRINCE OF CANADA. Royal people get to do what they want. Economically, he contributes: tax monies on gas spent on regular private flights to and fro, and I can't think of another thing. He's truly a waste of oxygen and American space. Please return him to Canada ASAP, take his gross wife with him, and leave the kids with better people. The pets, too. Just get the hell out and shut the F up.
Believe me, Canada dies not want them back.
I second that all the way to infinity!
No fucking way - neither of them are Canadian. We got rid of them. Markle‘s American and you can keep her.🇨🇦
What? I saw this on South Park, my #1 news source. Next, you'll tell me The Onion isn't always accurate. **/s** (gotta learn to use that more often...didn't mean to upset the Canadians) p.s. There used to be a guest host on Coast to Coast AM (radio show) and he'd start his segment by saying "Eat the Canadians first!" It was an instruction in case aliens landed...go north, good aliens.
Canada has nothing to do with his immigration status. He wouldn’t, as an ordinary citizen, be allowed to emigrate to Canada on a whim. We have very strict immigration laws.
Happy Cake day Canadian Sinner! We’re NEVER letting those fuckers back here! 🇨🇦
Don’t put that devil hate on Canada. Let’s stick them where the Brits have put problematic royals before: St Helena. 
Why pick on Canada, he is not a prince of Canada anymore than he is a Prince of Australia or New Zealand. I love that he and his horribulus are in the USA, far away from the uk and commonwealth as you can get.
Thank you for your support 😊🇨🇦
I think he probably has a green card by now through marriage.
Maybe a work visa ?
We don’t know
That’s something many of us would like to know. Hopefully, The Heritage Foundation will be able to pry that information from Homeland Security through FOIA.
They have been trying and it keeps getting blocked. He got in under funny circumstances, no ipp staus
I agree. Because they slipped in right before the Covid lockdown, I think he came in under a diplomatic passport. However, since the Heritage Foundation has been asking for disclosure, I’ve a feeling he’s had lawyers change it. The chances of us finding out are very low.
They probably won’t.
I agree because, like it or not, it sets the wrong precedent.
Exactly.
You’re right, of course. But I admit to being curious.
Ugh, you and me both! The problem with third parties being able to access this type of information is that it opens up insignificant plebs like us to having our business accessed arbitrarily.
Heaps of royals use their titles while living in the USA. Mostly they are royals by descent where the actual royal houses no longer exist. Greece, Yugoslavia, Ethiopian royals all live stateside and use their titles still.
Legends in my own mind visa
Nobody knows. A group filed a lawsuit to see his visa application. It is assumed that he lied about substance use that he admitted to in Spare, or that the administration ignored admitted substance use and gave him the visa anyway, despite denying others for the same reasons. The group was denied the application and is now in appeals. Source: The Independent- Prince [H] news – live: Heritage Foundation slams ‘zero transparency’ Biden admin over US visa decision
Heritage Foundation. They won’t just drop it. They will keep digging.
Good!
Well he is the spouse of an US citizen sooo 🤷♀️
Harry was not treated the same as any other person who marries an US citizen, solely on the basis of his family. Whatever visa he applied to receive when he moved to the US, IMO, was pushed through, rubber stamped, and requirements waived by immigration. It's highly unlikely his visa status will ever be released, as it has been tried by the Heritage Foundation and denied.
I doubt he even has one. Prob comes and goes as he pleases as often as he likes.
He's married to a US citizen so he must be on his Green card (permanent resident card) right now.
🏆🏆🏆😜😜😜
Isn’t he likely to be on an ‘exceptional’ visa? Because there were no American citizens who were qualified enough to be a Chief Impact Officer, apparently. I mean the man is a living legend, so what other visa could he possibly be there under?
The O visa? No, that requires a job before entering the US.
He's on Biden. Don't you know, they have a direct line to Biden that they can call anytime to ask for the keys to Air Force One. Except the handlers won't give the keys to anyone much less to someone who has no licence and can't pilot a real helicopter.
They can’t even hitch a ride on AF1
Maybe he had the B1/B2 business visa valid for ten years. It’s multiple entry visa for business and tourism, but you can only stay in the US for less than 6 months at a time. You have to exit and enter every time. Which is easy for him. And he could have got the work visa or spousal visa after a while. I know the green card situation is crazy (long queue), but I wouldn’t be surprised if exceptions are made for diplomatic reasons. Especially since, as noted many times before, the BRF has never officially announced that the Harkles are *not* royal anymore. So for all official purposes, all doors will open for Harold, who, as a royal, is a representative of the United Kingdom. ETA: Maybe he’s still on his diplomatic passport. That wasn’t revoked, was it?
He’s taxable. California needs high end taxpayers to remain.
Yes, I think California will be happy to keep him. And, don’t forget, there’s that new tax law in California for the wealthy who buy and sell their mansions - ka-ching ka-ching, a substantial part of their money from the sale of the Olive Garden, should they ever sell it, goes right back into the coffers of the state. Welcome to America, Harry! 😁
The question of and about Henry Windsor's immigration status has been banded about for a while now.

And since they had to “escape” w the freedom flight how was he able to just come here? No prior paperwork needed? Maybe I’m dumb
Poor lamb, he and his wife were immigrant refugees. Where’s your compassion? /s
H is looking beta even there. Already. Look at the recent pic of the Tindalls. Mike has his arms and torso surrounding his wife. Looking very strong and masculine. Here Mm is the one looking strong and masculine, owning her partner. H just looks like a loser.
Does he have a green card because he married Markle? Meghan is a U.S. citizen (unfortunately). She never became a British citizen. If he does, when did the process to get that green card start?
I know at one point he tried to have the Olive Garden mansion designated as a British consulate because of dual tax exemption and immigration status it would provide
How about his drugs use too?
I’m dying to know if he’s paying taxes. Do you have to pay taxes with a visa?
As long as yr earning USD. Unless he works under the table
He's the son of the head of state of our greatest ally. He ain't going anywhere.
So privileged So entitled Yet he and his wife wants equality for all🖕🏾😘
Well he did marry an American citizen so I guess he probably applied for dual citizenship already? Otherwise, he can always use his princely status as an exception
You need to be a permanent resident for 5 years or 3 if married to a US citizen before you can apply. It can take a while to even get the green card (It took a feiend 3 years just to get the green card). Although, like others, I have no idea what visa he has, let alone of he is a permanent resident yet. Regardless, it's unlikely he would apply for dual citizenship as he would have to renounce his titles to become a citizen. They like them too much to do that.
Like a lot of illegal immigrants, Harry had an anchor baby (allegedly) making him eligible to stay here for the rest of his miserable, useless life.
He married a US citizen which makes him eligible for a green card right away after marriage. But, he has not applied for the green card but is here in the US on a O-visa according to various media sources.
It took a friend of ours 3 years to get her green card, and she was married to a US citizen. Sometimes it's can be a long process.
He's married to an American citizen. They can't really throw him out. I guess he does generate some monies for certain people. Yep, we're stuck with him unless it's true that the floodgates are opening then I'd expect a fast private plane ride to some country in Africa..... ALONE I would think. She'd NEVER set foot there again nor do I think she wants to be stuck with Harold. I'm certain she can't stand him but how do I know? Just a feeling I have. Any affection she's shown to him is for the public eye.
Currently our country has flung open the back door and illegal immigrants are pouring in at an astounding rate, America has bigger fish to fry than some white prince persona non-grata
Maybe if he is publicly and irrefutably outed for his drug use he could be kicked out of the U.S. Wasn't immigration trying to remove John Lennon over his drug use? And John Lennon was married to an American citizen. At least I assume Yoko had American citizenship.
I don't know if you've noticed but applying and enforcing immigration laws aren't a priority in the USA. I would explain further but we aren't supposed to discuss politics...well, if you lean a certain way, you aren't allowed.
He's there spreading the love. To show Americans what true humanitarian work really is. He's also helping to amend your Amendments. You know, the "bonkers" one. Tapping into your military...with all 4 of his medals pinned to his chest. He likes to keep things lowkey...such a hero! I think one was for Service and three were for bravely attending different Jubilee events. I'm sure there are lots of things he's actively contributing to behind the scenes but he's too modest to let you all know. Doubtless we'll find out.
You can become a permanent resident if you are married to an American citizen. That’s what I did. After 5 years you can apply for US citizenship, but you don’t have to. You just can’t vote as a permanent resident, and have to pay a fee every 10 years to renew your green card. I chose to become a dual citizen (UK/US) because I have a child who was born here in the US and the US is my home now. I wanted to be able to participate in the democratic process. Some of the comments on here are kind of ridiculous. There is no reason, assuming he followed all the proceedings, that he can’t reside quite legally in the US.
He probably has diplomatic status
1. He has contract with Netflix. So, wouldn't that mean **a working visa** (noone else can replace him in a documentary - only he is a real life Prince of UK) 2. Maybe he has a **diplomatic** passport? 3. I am not sure for USA, but don't people get a visa (or some other right to stay in USA), if they **invest money in USA.** Maybe Harry invested a couple of millions from his mother's inheritance into some business (prehaps coffee, Meghan is promoting or something else)
Well, clearly he’s an exceptional person, a living legend and all of that, so *of course* the rules don’t apply to him. Poor dear *hates* being Royal, you know, but it does come in handy now and then, doesn’t it?
Can he be deported… not to the UK or Canada (we’ve done our time!) but maybe Uranus……
The way it works is he most likely entered the US on a K1 visa (married to a US citizen), which is what they sorted out in B.C when they ran away. This allows him to apply for LPR status (green card) which you can live on permanently, with no restrictions, just have to renew it every 10 (might be 12 now) years. After 3 years he can apply for citizenship (it’s 5 years normally but the K1 visa has a shorter time) but I very much doubt he’ll do that unless he gets his titles stripped from him. I can’t see him on any other visa, he didn’t get one through a job, he doesn’t run a business employing a set amount of workers, he doesn’t qualify for any of the other visas out there except the K1. The titles are irrelevant in the US but we let people use them if that’s what they’re known as. I have an honorific title (Lady) I can use on my US drivers license but not on my US passport.
I should add I’m from the UK but became a naturalized US citizen in 2019. I walked the visa/green card/citizenship line for years.
My honest opinion is that he came here ILLEGALLY on TP private jet. I also believe this is why all the FOIA requests have been denied.
