My boyfriend was brought over to America from Mexico when he was a year old. Does he have to go back to Mexico to be able to apply for residency since he technically came in unlawfully or could it get worked out here in the States?
answered on Nov 18, 2019
More than likely he will need to return to Mexico, but without knowing all the details in his case we cannot say for sure. His best be would be to consult with an immigration attorney.

You will be allowed to sponsor your alien fiancé for his green card unless your criminal history involves violation of the Adam Walsh Act. I suggest you work with a lawyer to represent you. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.
My boyfriend is a alien. He's been in America for 2 years. We are wanting to get married soon but we are concerned because I have a criminal background and I don't want to set him up for failure when we are wanting him to become a US citizen. I have a felony and a recent misdemeanor... View More

Your background will affect your boyfriend's ability to naturalize once you marry him. He must demonstrate that he, not you, is a person of "good moral character". Please see

Yes, if it’s a sibling petition, but you must update your family information with NVC as soon as possible.
You may want to carefully plan with your family in case you are inadmissible due to actions by your sibling.
As a result, I strongly recommend a teleconference with a... View More

The reason that the consulate will not grant him a tourist visa is because they don't think he has sufficient ties to his home country to motivate him to return..no property, or long term employment history, or sufficient assets to return home. If he attempts to process at another embassy, it... View More

You can file an I 90 form to replace your green card and change your birth date. You should try to do this before you file for your citizenship. The error should not affect your ability to get your citizenship as long as you make the change.

An adoption is a specific legal term. It means that the parental relationship of at least one of the parents has been severed either by law or by death of a parent and the adoptive parent is now the legal parent. The remarriage of your father does not automatically mean that your step mother... View More

US citizenship is not automatic based on marriage. You must follow the process. You will... View More

Certain misdemeanors or felonies can affect the naturalization process. You need to discuss this with an immigration attorney to review his record and see what if any solutions are available to help with the process of naturalization.
