Do I need to hire a lawyer in that country or do I need to only consult a real estate agent?
A Texas attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. As a general principle, real estate transactions tend to be governed by state-specific or nation-specific laws. You could reach out to attorneys in the Austin area as a starting point, but it's likely a real... Read more »

You have not stated very important information: How did you enter the USA? If you entered without inspection you were subject to removal regardless of your reason for being here and your education. You agreed to the removal.
I started working this year and filed my taxes for last year. I got a tax refund but I was not employed anywhere last year. I am a F-1 student, will this refund affect my chances of getting green card?
You should consult with a Certified Public Accountant to understand why you got a refund. As long as your taxes were properly completed, the mere fact that you got a refund will not affect your eligibility for permanent residency/green card. You should consult with an immigration attorney though... Read more »
You could repost your question under Criminal Law - Texas. This doesn't look like an international law matter, which might be why it remained open for three weeks. It looks like it's something that involves the Pre-Release Substance Abuse Program (PRSAP) with the Texas Department of... Read more »

My question is, can I form my business as an LLC and hire them as independent contractors to provide me... Read more »
Yes.

Where is the artist?
You ask a question that needs more detail.
Are you going to pay hourly? piece work? project work? or whatever.
Where does he work? Do you provide the supplies.
Go see an immigration lawyer and an employment lawyer.
Good Luck

I am really confused because from what I understand I do have to become a citizen first to fix my husband papers but my dad is also a resident and he fixed me, my mom, my 2 sisters, and my 2 brothers papers.
This doesn't sound like an international law matter. It isn't fully clear what you mean by fixing your husband's papers, but it sounds like this could be something dealing with immigration forms. If that's what you mean by "husband's papers," you could repost your... Read more »

Will they let him in because we are married? And he can adjust his status once he's here? I already have the 1-130 in process
It is possible that he will not be allowed in because of his intent. He’d be coming as a tourist, which is a temporary visa, though his intent would be to immigrate.
On the other hand, he might be allowed in, depending on the questions asked an your husband’s responses.
My nephews and brother in Colombia are asking me how is my financial situation, how much is my retirement pension, etc. I don't know if I am going to be treated fairly. The attorney is a personal friend of my nephew.
What action should I take? Pls give me your advice.
Thank you.
Your financial situation has nothing to do with how much of your sister's estate you should inherit according to Columbian law.
It does have something to do with how much a dishonest administrator is willing to give you and whether he thinks you will have the ability to sue and appear... Read more »

Certainly they do though if you were injured because of another person you might have a US claim. If its on a cruise that's a whole different set of jurisprudence and I'd start by getting a free consult from a member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Assn.
