Ilhan Omar lashes out at 'sick' Republicans for investigating her alleged marriage to brother

EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., called those concerned about whether she married her brother "sick" after the far-left lawmaker was approached by Fox News Digital about border czar Tom Homan, signaling that federal officials have started digging into records pertaining to the matter.

Homan said last week that records and files related to Omar's potential immigration fraud were being pulled and looked at after President Donald Trump revived the years-old scandal amid an ongoing debate over the Somali Medicaid fraud scandal taking place in Omar's state of Minnesota.

While Homan suggested that fraud likely took place, he also signaled that the crime's statute of limitations could present a problem when it comes to prosecuting Omar for any potential violations.

"Any response to what [Homan] is saying? And the public?" Fox News Digital asked Omar as she was walking through the halls of Congress.

"I have no response because I don't know what they'll be investigating," Omar shot back.

"Why do you think they keep bringing this up?" Omar was then asked before she walked onto an elevator and out of sight.

But, according to a top Senate Republican, if the allegations against Omar – that she married her brother to enter the U.S. – were true, she’d be breaking several laws.

"If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes," said Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.

something to think about:
ilhan claims to have come to the usa in 1995 as an asylum refugee...it would take one year (without any normal Immigration Service delays to become a legal resident for her and her father ILAPR) then it would take 5 years for her father to be granted citizenship which would be at least 3001, She would have been 18 years old in either 2000 or 1999 depending on what birthdate you believe..
claims now DOB October 4, 1982 but originally claimed dob october 4, 1981.Since her father likely did not gain uS citizenship until 2000 or 2001.it imho is highly unlikely whou could have derived citizenship from her father...the proceswsing time for INS would be very tight and extremely rare especiiallyin COVID timeframe....

To get a Green Card (Lawful Permanent Residence - LAPR) after asylum, you must wait at least one year from the date your asylum was granted to file the I-485 application (Adjustment of Status), but the actual time to approval varies significantly, often taking several months to over a year for processing after filing, depending on case volume and complexity.

Key Timeline Steps
Grant of Asylum: You receive official asylum status.
One-Year Wait: You must have one year of physical presence in the U.S. after your asylum grant before you can file for a Green Card, though you can file before the year is up, just not have it approved until then.
File Form I-485: Submit this application to adjust to permanent resident status.
Processing: After filing, processing times for the I-485 can range, but many report approvals within 8-14 months or more after filing, with some examples showing 14 months from filing to approval.

Important Considerations
Start Date: Your one-year clock for eligibility starts from the date asylum was granted, not the date you entered the U.S. or filed for asylum.
Filing Early: You can file the I-485 before the one-year mark, but processing might be delayed if USCIS needs to verify your physical presence.
Total Time: The journey from asylum to Green Card (LAPR) involves the initial asylum wait, the filing period, and the processing time, making the total time unpredictable but typically over a year from asylum grant

//////////
The time from Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status to citizenship (naturalization) involves two main phases: the eligibility waiting period (3 or 5 years) and the processing time (around 10-18 months for application review), with the 3-year path for spouses of US citizens and 5 years for others, requiring continuous residence before filing Form N-400, followed by biometrics, interview, and oath. Total time varies, but expect at least 3-5 years of LPR status plus the application processing time

Total time varies, but expect at least 3-5 years of LPR status plus the application processing time..

1. Eligibility Waiting Period (Before Filing)
3-Year Rule: You can apply after 3 years as an LPR if you’re married to and living with a U.S. citizen.
5-Year Rule: Most others must wait 5 years as an LPR.
Key: This period starts from the “Resident Since” date on your Green Card, and you must meet continuous residence/physical presence requirements.
2. Application Processing (After Filing Form N-400)
File N-400: Submit your application, potentially up to 90 days before your 3/5-year mark.
Biometrics: Fingerprints and photo (1-2 months after filing).
Interview & Test: Interview and English/Civics test (3-6 months after biometrics).
Oath Ceremony: Final step (1-3 months after interview).
Total Timeline Example
3-Year Spouse: 3 years (LPR) + ~10-18 months (processing) = ~4-4.5 years total
5-Year General: 5 years (LPR) + ~10-18 months (processing) = ~6-6.5 years total
