Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Hello:

He is here illegally and it seems based upon your answer he has no other petitions pending. He should leave the U.S. before being out of status for more than 180 days so he does not become subject to the 3/10 year bar. Then, he have a PERM petition filed on his behalf.

There are a lot of restrictions on crew people, but never being able to acquire immigration status isn't one of them. What he needs to do is to determine whether he has any immigration options and plan his life accordingly. It may or may not be possible depending on his skills, job opportunities, close family members in the U.S., whether he's admissible to the U.S. (limited criminal record, need for public assistance, contagious diseases, long overstays or other significant immigration problems, etc.). He needs an assessment to get more details.

The above is general information upon which to rely and doesn't form an attorney client relationship. To form an attorney client relationship, client and attorney together agree to that in writing for clarity.
