How can I make my boyfriend legal we have been together for 6 years and have a 2 children but are not married

Hello,   You do not state how your boyfriend entered the U.S. If he entered legally and you are a U.S. citizen, then it may be easier for him to obtain his green card in the U.S. If he did not enter legally then it is more complicated. Either way you should consult with an attorney in your local area and provide them with your personal information so that you can get the advice that suits your particular case on how best to proceed. Also ask your local attorney about the new procedure introduced by the Obama administration that may allow people who need to file for their green cards abroad to start the process here in the U.S. in advance before going abroad. This should be in place by the end of 2012.  Good luck.   Disclaimer: This information is of a general nature and is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice.
