(I apologize ahead of time if there is a better topic to put this under. Move it if you see fit.)

I'm at the end of my rope and looking for help. My fiance is here illegally from Mexico, and has been for 5 years. I am a citizen by birth. I want to help him but I don't know how. I am desperately seeking good advice from kind people. (Everyone I've turned to has been very rude so far.) Please, someone help me. I know it will take a lot of money and a lot of time, but I just want to help him. What must I do?

Sorry to say - there is no adjustment from an EWI status. I believe he must go home and file for a visa (which will be denied) and a waiver. There will be a bar associated with the length of time he was in the country.

I am going to move this topic to the waiver forum - as those who have experience with waivers might be able to offer some suggestions.

Did he enter without inspection? If he was inspected but overstayed he is eligible for AOS, if not see the post above.

Did he get here on a visa and went through inspection at the border or just crossed the border? If he came here without inspection then it's going to make it harder.

What does "EWI" stand for, and what does it mean?

Entered without inspection, a border patrol officer didn't inspect him... "jumped over the fence"

Edited by Lili

AOS Approved on 10-17-08 (details in profile)

Removal of Conditions on 07-19-10

In this tedious process, we tend to forget that this is all worth it.

I love my hubby beyond anything in this world.

He entered with a fake visa. /._.

Find a lawyer to discuss your options.

Its likely he could face a permanent ban from entering the country, for misrepresenting himself with a fake visa. Some types of bans can be overcome with a wavier, others cannot.

Is there an alternative to a lawyer? Are there any kind of free services offered by the government? Or are there low-cost immigration lawyers? I've heard rumors about immigration lawyers who just scam you.

Do not go bargain basement for this one. You need an AILA attorney that has experience with EWI/waivers. The only other help I can think of is Catholic Charities, but it sounds like you should just go right for the legal representation.

Thank you for all your good advice. You're the nicest bunch of people I've met online. Does anyone have any good suggestions for lawyers near Sacramento, CA? I'm not looking for a "basement bargain", but I want answers, not a bunch of fees for sitting down with someone and that's all. If I'm paying someone, I want results.

Use of a fraudulent visa is a crime. Not only is he facing jail time but a lifetime ban. You need to pay for a lawyer...many will see you for 30 minutes at no charge.

I finally got rid of the never ending money drain. I called the plumber, and got the problem fixed. I wish her the best.
