Advice for my brother in-law?
Answers:
How many H1-B visas can a person have at a single time?
Turn him in to INS, they will fix him up and the government will look after the family while they are doing so.If he is married to a US citizen, he can apply for a green card. Once he gets it, he can work.
In-state tuition for illegal immigrants?? What happen to the lawsuit?
My boyfriend's brother had this same situation several years ago...He married a girl from Utah, and was here illegally, they got married in Mexico. It isn't an easy process to remedy this situation, but here are the basics of what they went through: After they got married, they went back to Utah, and then she got pregnant...He couldn't stay here, so they went to Mexico for the majority of the pregnancy while they filed for his green card based on his marriage to a US citizen. She had to come back to the US to have the baby, and they would not allow him to come with her because all his paperwork was still pending, so she had to come here and have a baby alone. She went back to Mexico with the baby, then when everything was cleared up, they came back here.But it still took several years for him to go through the process of actually being naturalized, in December he will finally finish the process. All in all the entire process took something like 11 or 12 years, and cost them a small fortune with legal stuff, filing fees, and going back and forth between the two countries.
I have been told it is actually easier to let the foreign person go back to their home country and apply for a fiancee visa, then have a legal wedding within 90 days of their arrival in the country, but since they are already married that won't work.
The only other ways I know of getting a green card, or even a visa is if they either have a relative who is a US citizen, or an employer is willing to sponsor them.
Best of luck to them!
Let's do a trade with Mexico. They can have all those idiots from...?
Boo Hoo,

Too friggin bad, so sad
Build the wall

Jail employers of illegal alien invaders
I married a Mexican girl and lived in Mexico for 14 mo. while
we got her paper work. I crossed the border daily to work.
I did the paperwork myself which saved a bundle in layer fees
and time. Things have changed since 1970. This coming
weekend I will take a young man to the airport for the porpoise
of getting his papers in Juares Mexico. It's my understanding
that a hi-school diploma is a big plus when it comes to getting
legal statics. He can also show his hi-school diploma and
get a job. I wonder why he hasn't . A diploma is also documentation. At the very worse there may be a $!,000
charge or fine. If he went to hi-school he has a SS number.
He needs to get a job and pay taxes. Best of luck.

This question gets asked on this board every day. The answer is the same today as everyday.
He cannot adjust his status while in the United States. He must return to the country where he belongs. Once there your sister can file a petition for him (using Forms I-130, G-325 and I-134) with the Citizenship and Immigration Service.
You can find the forms and instructions here...

It will take up to a year to process the paperwork. At the end it's likely he'll be denied due to his having been an illegal alien. At this point your sister will file an appeal to the denial based on hardship. I recommend using a board certified immigration attorney for the appeal, but not the petition process.
The appeal can add another year onto the process. If successful he'll be granted an immigrant visa. If unsuccessful he'll be required to wait a period of time as a penalty (up to 10 years) before they will issue the visa.
No matter what anyone tells you on this board, this is the truth. The only other option is to wait around and hope for some kind of amnesty, and I don't believe that's going to happen.
