Guys,here's my situation:
i'm a green card holder (citizenship is in the process), my hunsband is a USC.
not having a child of my own,i have a legal custody of my nephew who lives with me (11 years old) he came in almost 3 years ago and overstayed his visitor visa.for the record, my nephew has been living with me since he was born when i was back home.my sister and her hunsband both gave me legal custody and the kid is now in 6th grade.
coming from a muslim country adoption is almost impossible that's why all i could get was legal custody.
My qusetion to you gurus , is there any way to get the kid a legal status inhere.i sopke to 2 lawyers, they both gave me differents opinions (one said it was easy to do, the other said it's impossible unless you hhave adoption paper instead of custody) which one should i believe???
i'm really strugeling, thanks for your help guys.
a desesperate mother.
