If you are in a major city find a non-profit that specializes in immigration and citizenship issues. Or use the computer for the same issue, but be careful in any case. Don't give your private information out to anyone until they prove who they are with proper identification. And if there is an illegal issue, then you are in bad shape and probable need to start over. (See answer above) Find a ethnic lawyer and ask for a meeting to talk about the situation and the resolution. You have to know where you stand before you deal with the government. Look for people in the same situation. Good luck!<br><b>References : </b><br>Legal advice for free? yahoo search Be careful!

If he came in illegally, and there is no pre-existing petition already filed for him by another family member (USC parent/child over 21; USC/LPR ex-spouse; USC sibling that predated April 24, 2001), then he CANNOT "fix his papers" that is, get his green card, while in the U.S. There will come a time when he will have to depart the U.S. and get an immigrant visa from the US Consulate in his home country. The process is long, convuluted and complicated, especially for those who have any period of time spent in the U.S. illegally. You must consult an attorney or find a local legal aid office or law school clinic to help you. If you tell me where you are, I can probably point you in the right direction: city & state. Do not try to do it yourself, it sounds like your situation is a bit complicated.<br><b>References : </b><br>lawyer.
