How can i bring my boyfriend to the states without marrying him?

Immigration lawyer at Richard S. Kolomejec
If he is a UK citizen, he can come and visit as a tourist (through the ESTA program). Once he is here, should you guys decide to marry down the road, then you should become a US citizen in order to speed up his green card process.

What can I do if I am an American citizen and I want to call my parents to America to live with me?

Answered by attorney Michael Alexander Yurasov-Lichtenberg (Unclaimed Profile)
Immigration lawyer at Havens Lichtenberg PLLC
You can file immigrant petitions for your parents. Aside from your United States Citizenship, you will have to show proof of your blood relationships with your parents (your birth certificate listing both of them as your parents should suffice), and your ability to support them financially so that they will not become a public burden. For instance, if you live alone, you would have to show that your 2012 income was over $23,863; if you have already 1 dependent, your income has to be over $28,813, and so on. Before you begin spending money on the petitions, make sure that nothing prevents your parents from receiving immigrant visas (no history of United States Immigration law violations, no disqualifying criminal convictions, no communicable diseases, etc.) If everything will be done right, your parents should be able to join you in about 12-18 months.

My gf is here on a K1 visa..Can we take a short trip to mexico and come back?

Alan Lee
Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
The K-1 entry is only for one entry and for 90 days. You would not be allowed to take a short trip to Mexico and come back. The proper way would be for you to be married, have her apply for her adjustment of status to permanent residence, and at the same time apply for advance parole to travel outside the US during the time that the adjustment of status application is pending. It usually takes 90 days from the date of submission for an advance parole application to be approved.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
