The lithosphere includes the Earth's crust and the uppermost part of the mantle. The lithosphere's thickness varies depending on whether you measure the thin new crust on the ocean floor or the old crust of an established land mass. The Earth's lithosphere is broken into continental plates that move over time. Slight movements in the lithosphere can cause earthquakes when the plates bump against each other. Litho is from the Greek word lithos, meaning stone. Sphere is from the Greek word sphaira, meaning globe or ball. The solid outer crust of any celestial body can also be called the lithosphere. Scientists use robots to examine the lithosphere on Mars.
If you are in the U.S. with an F-1 student visa and have married a citizen of the United States, you are eligible to file for a U.S. green card.The procedure for doing this is called Adjustment of Status (AOS).ote: While most immigrants must submit form I-130 separately, and wait for USCIS to answer before proceeding with the green card application, the fact of your legal entry and marriage to a U.S. citizen allows you to submit the entire packet at one time.
Your employer can apply for a green card for you, if they want to. They have to want to keep you very, very badly in order to do this. It will take about a minimum f 6 years from when they apply for you to get a green card. Then, 5 years after you get a green card you can apply for citizenship. You cannot apply for a green card, your employer has to get you one. Don't count on any employer sponsoring you for a green card until you have worked for them at least 3 years. 15 years.
