Re: becoming legal

If your boyfriend came to the US illegally, he could be subject to the 10 year idmissibility ban. You could apply for him to become a permanent resident, but he would have to go back to his country and you would have to submit an inadmissibility waiver showing that it would constitute an extreme hardship for you and your for family for him not to be admitted as a US Permanent Resident. This is a complex matter that should not be handled by yourself. Feel free to contact me if you need to discuss this further or if you need further assistance.
