I have a friend that is on a temporary visa. He has decided to stay here permenately. How can he go about this. I want to help him as much as I can. He means alot to my family. He is from Russia and is a wonderful man. Please if anyone has any GOOD ideas please help us!! I really do not know anything about getting a longterm visa or a greencard or how much hassle this will be. What can we do? He is like a part of our family and I don't want to see him leave. He does not want to go back to live, either. HELP!!!!
