Re: Immigration Law help

You really should consult an Immigration Attorney, because there are many ways to get residency, some of which you may already have. This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation

If he is under 18, unlawful presence hasn't yet accrued and he could get his permanent residence easier than if he's older. Timing is critical due to this reason.

Re: Immigration Law help

If your boyfriend entered legally, then you may sponsor him for an immigrant visa and he can apply for his green card without having to leave the country.

If he did not enter legally, then you may only be able to help him if someone else (employer or family) previously filed an immigrant petition for him on or before April 30, 2001 and if he can prove he was physically in the present in the U.S. on December 21, 2000. Otherwise, if you apply for him, he will have to leave the U.S. to get his green card. However, once he leaves the U.S., he will be barred from returning to the U.S. for 10 years, since he has overstayed for over 1 year.

To discuss your specific case options further, kindly email me at [email protected], or refer to our contact information on our website at www.loretomedinalaw.com. We offer a FREE initial consultation and payment plans.
