If your boyfriend is in status in the United States and you are A US citizen then he can stay and he can file his case here in United States. The way that this is done is that you file a petition for an immigrant relative simultaneously with an adjustment of status application. In the state of New Jersey, it generally takes about 90 days for a case like this to be processed. It is important that you engage the services of a qualified immigration the professional to assist you with the matter like this in order that all the paperwork is done properly and your case moves smoothly through the system.

I presume that you are a U.S. Citizen over age 21. If that is accurate, then it may be possible for your mother to complete an adjustment of the application process in the U.S., but further information is needed. For example, when your mother applied for and when she entered with a visitor's visa, did she disclose that her child is a U.S. citizen and had already filed, or soon would file, a Form I-130 Petition for Relative Alien? There really is no substitute for you and your mother to consult with an immigration attorney who, after learning all of the relevant information, could advise about eligibilities, options, and strategies to attain your goals, and who then could offer legal representation in the often complex application process.

If your uncle's nephew has the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in the US, he may be eligible for H-1B sponsorship. For that, he would have to be industrious and shower possible companies with resumes. Another alternative that he can explore is qualifying under E-1 treaty trader or E-2 treaty investor visa. E-1 contemplates a company with German nationality conducting at least 51% of its trade between the US and Germany. E-2 involves investment in a company by a German national. E-1 and E2 can be obtained if he finds a position involving managerial, executive, or specialized knowledge with one of these type of companies. He might also be able to establish his own company and qualify for either of these visas. E-1 and E-2 while not permanent visas do allow individuals to work in the US for long periods of time (some holders of these visas have been in the US for 20 years) in the qualifying company. Other than these options, there do not appear to be easy ways for a person to move to the US legally to live permanently and to work outside of the recognized categories of employment, family sponsorship, asylum, or  permanent investment immigration.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
