I'm afraid I don't personally know any immigration lawyer in Florida. However, keep in mind that immigration is regulated by federal law, not state law, so an immigration lawyer does not have to practice in Florida in order to represent you.

It's hard to say without knowing original poster's specific situation. Someone who has relatives in the U.S. may say they wish to spend more time with their loved ones here then the 3 months permitted under Visa Waiver. Others might simply want to spend more time touring the U.S.

Assuming your brother entered with a valid B-2 visa (Visitor's visa) he should be able to adjust status here in the U.S. In my practice I'd ask to see all the related documents in this situation to get to the bottom of the problem.

That is so for visa waiver, which you are entitled to, but not required to use.

Why don't you try to get a tourist visa? It's approvable for up to a 6 month initial stay with option to extend for another 6 months after you get here.

it's just as easy for a visa waiver citizen to get a tourist visa as it is for anyone else. it's certainly worth a shot.

Hi Christopher, You have 2 options - (1) given the high cost of living in London you might consider transferring to an university in the U.S. and live with your aunt to save living expenses or (2) start scouting for potential U.S. companies who are willing to sponsor you for a work visa when you get...

Yes you are considered out of status when your I-94 expired. Even when you have Advance Parole in hand it is still up to the border officer's descretion whether or not to grant you entry.

Your relatives in San Diego can help you enter the U.S. in about a year's time as a PERMANENT RESIDENT. [Moderator edit : No advertising allowed]

Dear Hopeless Devoted,

How about a visitor's visa? He will be allowed an initial stay of 6 months. If after 6 months you are still undecided he can apply for extension for another 6 months. Anytime during the 1 year stay should you decide to get married you can then petition him for a green card.

If your brother is still under 21 and unmarried and he has an approved I-130 by your US Citizen father, he should be able to adjust status. The I-130 is key. Is your brother the beneficiary named in the I-130 Approval Notice?
