How can I immigrate to work in the US?

Reza Athari
Answered by attorney Reza Athari (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Reza Athari & Associates, PLLC
B1/2 is for pleasure or business. It is not intended for people who seek employment. You should first see if you qualify for an employment based visa. Usually you will need an American company to sponsor you.

Can I help my boyfriend get papers to live in the US?

Christine Victoria Troy
Answered by attorney Christine Victoria Troy (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at The Law Office of Christine Troy
You need to determine if your boyfriend is eligible under 245i law, that will allow him to apply for a green card via marriage in the US. If anyone filed any paperwork with immigration or the Department of Labor for his parents or for himself before April 30, 2001, then he probably is. Otherwise you can sponsor him but he needs to leave the US and this will trigger a ten year bar. You then will file an extreme hardship waiver at the US consulate in Mexico. If approved he will be allowed back in. If not, he will be barred for ten years. The US consulate in Mexico has a strong history of approving well prepared waivers where the person entered as a minor and has no other transgressions.
