In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you are married to someone who holds a citizenship that you do not, then you might consider whether your spouse's country of citizenship grants you citizenship by marriage. This process involves applying for a resident permit that you would qualify for based on your marriage.  You would also need to meet any residency requirements.  If you believe that you can acquire a second citizenship through marriage, research the laws of your spouse's country of citizenship regarding citizenship by this route. The laws about the application process and amount of time involved to obtain citizenship will vary by country. For example, if you are married to a British citizen, you must meet certain requirements before you can apply to become a British citizen by marriage. You must be 18 years of age or older, of sound mind, of good character (e.g. you don't have a serious criminal record), you must meet English language requirements and show knowledge of life in the UK, you must have been granted indefinite permission to stay in the UK, and you must meet a residency requirement. Note that entering into a sham or fake marriage for the sole purpose of acquiring residency and (subsequent citizenship) of your spouse's country is considered fraud and is a serious criminal offense in most countries. Do not attempt to enter into a sham marriage for the purpose of becoming a dual citizen, as the legal consequences of this can be severe. Not all countries permit dual citizenship, and your spouse's country of citizenship may be one that requires you to renounce your previous citizenship. If that is the case, then you cannot become a dual citizen through marriage.
Summary: Consider your spouse's citizenship. Beware of the consequences of sham marriages. Confirm the laws regarding dual citizenship of both countries.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: immigration law. Some adoptable children in Japan do not qualify as orphans by the definition used in the US, and only children who qualify as orphans by that definition can receive an immigrant visa. In order to qualify as an orphan a child must have lost both parents, generally through death or abandonment. The child of a single parent is rarely labeled as an orphan, but an exception might be made if the parent cannot care for the child and surrenders custody. Form I-604, the Report on Overseas Orphan Investigation, is used to verify the child's orphan status. Even though the I-600 can be completed before you have a child in mind for adoption, the I-604 must be completed only after you have a specific child in mind. This investigation will be performed by a consular office during the child's interview for an immigrant visa, and may take upwards of several months to complete. Since your child is not yet a U.S. citizen, he or she will need a Japanese passport to come back with you to the United States. Contact Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the US Embassy in Tokyo to obtain the necessary paperwork.  You will need to apply for and secure a new birth certificate for the child that includes your name. You will also need to apply for a family registry for the child. Both of these documents will be needed to secure a passport. Your adoption service provider can assist you during this process.  Once you have the child's birth certificate and family registry, you'll need to secure a travel document or passport from Japan.  You will also need to apply for a US immigrant visa for the child. This can be acquired through the US Embassy in Tokyo. Prior to the immigrant visa interview, you should submit an Electronic Immigrant Visa Application (Form DS-260), which can be found online at the Consular Electronic Application Center.  Bring a printed-out copy of the DS-260 form completion page to the visa interview. If the adoption has been approved and finalized before returning to the United States, the child will automatically earn US citizenship, provided that the child meets the requirements of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. The child's requirements for citizenship include:  being under 18 years of age  gaining legal admission as an immigrant for lawful permanent residence  having at least one adoptive parent who is an American citizen, either by birth or naturalization  living in the legal and physical custody of the parent who is a lawful American citizen
Summary: Verify that the child can be legally classified as an orphan according to U.S. File Form I-604 with the USCIS. Apply for the child's paperwork. Acquire US citizenship for the child.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Contrary to what you may think at first, crab sticks are actually often made with imitation crab after than crab proper. The safest bet is to buy a pack of pre-sculpted crab sticks from the supermarket. If you're much more the DIY type, you can get bigger slabs to cut into the pieces yourself. Outside of a deep-frying oil, you thankfully won't need anything else to get this recipe started. You can of course, however, add spices and garnishes to your personal preference. Getting your deep fryer up to this temperature and bringing the heat up to a standard cooking level is a good thing to do first. This may be even easier if you have a specialized fry cooker handy in your kitchen; you can cook crab sticks in much the same way as you would fries. As with a lot of cooking, it's good to get your elements heated up while you're getting the other preparations looked after. Although it's totally optional, the crispy taste for crab sticks goes wonderfully together with a good homemade batter. Make a thick fix of corn starch, flour, milk, salt, baking soda and water, and mix thoroughly. From there, you can dip your individual pieces in before putting them in the deep fryer. Tempura batters also work really well when it comes to crab sticks. You can cut your crab sticks however it suits you. You may find that cutting them into long sticks (like fries) makes them easier to eat generally speaking. Keep in mind that bigger pieces will also incur a longer average cooking time. Once you've got everything ready, it's time to put it all in the deep fryer. It's better to cook crab sticks in batches rather than all at once. This will help ensure even cooking throughout. Wait until they're generally golden-brown, then take them out and insert a new batch. Repeat this process until you've made as many a you prefer.
Summary:
Go out and buy some imitation crab. Heat a vegetable oil to 350 °F (177 °C). Make a batter. Chop your crab sticks. Put your crab sticks in the deep fryer.
