Resident alien/non resident status

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
An individual who enters the US on an immigration visa is a permanent resident upon entry. The stamp on the passport given by CBP at the airport is the confirmation of resident status. Therefore, although I do not know tax law, I believe that you should be filling out “resident alien”  as you are a permanent resident regardless of whether you have yet to receive the physical card.

How Do I Change Visa Type

Answered by attorney Alan Lee
Immigration lawyer at Alan Lee Arthur Lee, Attorneys at Law
I cannot think of an appropriate visa for your friend from Brazil to change status to in order to do freelance video production unless he is good enough to qualify for O-1 extraordinary alien status. If not, he may wish to consult with an immigration lawyer to go over his options and what compromises he is willing to make with his goals if he is eligible to obtain some other type of visa status to remain in the country for a longer period of time.

Who can adjust a person's immigration status in the USA?

Answered by attorney David Nabow Soloway
Immigration lawyer at Kennedy, Nalepa & Soloway, P.C.
This question is not very clear, but generally people who are in the U.S. with a valid nonimmigrant visa and then become eligible to adjust status in one of the many immigrant visa categories, may go through the adjustment of status process in the U.S. This generally requires that a visa is "immediately available" for the person at the time the case is filed. Determining whether a visa is "immediately available" can be discerned by review of the current Visa Bulletin issued by the U.S. Department of State. Some visa categories (such as EB2/NIW and EB1 Extraordinary Ability) are "self-sponsoring," others require a qualifying family relationship or sponsorship by a qualified employer. If you are asking about eligibility based on some specific family relationship or some specific job, it would be wise to consult with an immigration attorney who could learn all of the relevant facts and then advise you about eligibilities, options and strategies. Some immigration law firms, including mine, offer legal services on a "flat fee" basis so that a client will know the total expense from the very beginning, and a few immigration law firms, including mine, offer an initial consultation free of charge.
