Legal Question in Immigration Law in California

Immigration Law

I am looking for a REALLY GOOD Southern California (LA County) Immigration Law Attorney.

I want to find out the fastest route possible to getting my Mexican boyfriend legal.

He has done nothing illegal ever in the US.

He has passed back and forth several times thru Tijuana using a Mexican originated visa with his photo and someone else's name.

The only US documentation w/his authentic name on it was a Calif. Driver's License w/his photo of course and a fake SS # - purchased. That was once renewed by mail. Then, after that was up for renewal again, they sent him a letter saying the SS# was no good.

Also, he did get temporary permits to visit at the San Diego border a few times when he passed to here (under his other name).

We are currently not married, nor do we currently have US children.

(Adopting US kids could be an option as well.)

He has 2 children in Mexico w/no current plan to move them here (they live w/their mom). Long term, moving them would be a possibility.

He is 36, I'm 49 if that matters. I'm a So. Cal. native.

Thank you!

Re: Immigration Law

Unfortunately, the government would consider your boyfriend as having committed a crime, using a false name and false documents, and who knows what else they would cook up! If he is without documentation, and has no family member nor employer to petition for him, it is not likely he will obtain documentation to remain in the U.S. Even if he marries you, unless he entered the U.S. legally, he will be required to return to Mexico and consular process into the U.S. after passing Department of State scrutiny. The difference in your ages may or may not matter; it depends. At this point in time, if you are not married, it does not matter because you cannot petition for him yet. If he can find an employer to file a labor certification on his behalf, and sponsor him for his lawful permanent residency, that would be great; but, as I advised, he will still have to return to Mexico and enter through the U.S. Embassy. Any chance that you two can marry in Mexico, and you can do the filing there or here for him? Just a thought. Anyway, good luck, and maybe you can find a really good lawyer who can help you get through this. Take care and the best of luck to you.

You should be seeking an attorney that knows both sides of the border. There is or may be issues of legalities that you may not consider. Marriage can always help, and so can other means of getting him inside the United States.

Does he have citizenship in any other place than Mexico? I would be glad to talk to you regarding this issue.

Re: Immigration Law

You need someone very good and very honest. You also need to consider the possibility that his situation might not be fixable. Without more facts though, it's hard to tell. I have been successful where other good lawyers have not been. Check out my website for information about my experience, immigration legal community involvement and testimonials. If it's possible to save his life, I can do it. If it's not possible, I'll be very honest about that as well.
