Hello, I came through the site and I would like to start a service!

Hello! Good morning!

My name is Nosilaht, and the reason for my contact is. My brother is as a tourist in Toronto, Canada 2 years and 10 months, so far, he is legally as a tourist. He has been working as a service provider as a driver. He was working without a work permit.

 

In January 2026, he married an American citizen, and we remain married. They want to apply for the green card process. They meet every 15 days, sometimes also on Saturdays of each week.

 

He has already seen as an American tourist B2, but at the moment he is defeated. He was in the United States in 2019 and stayed 5 months and 26 days, he did not pass the 6-month period. And the aggravating factor is that he worked sporadically there.

 

However, there are three situations:

 

1- Having worked in the United States without permission.

 

2- He was working without a permit in Canada. He received the invoice here in the service provision in Canada. It has an open Trade Name (Company).

 

3- He is outside his country of origin, he has citizenship that is Brail. He would not like to return to Brazil to have to apply from there, because of the financial situation there. But if there is no way to apply from Canada, since it is almost 3 years and legally, he returns to Brazil and tries the species to get approved.

I would like to ask a question, has anyone ever gone through a situation like this or similar to my brother?

 

I will be very grateful with the answer.

The US citizen spouse must start the process by filing an I-130.  Where does the US citizen live?

Thank you for answering!

 

My brother's wife lives in New York. And my brother lives in Canada as a tourist. So far he is legally as a tourist.

I think you are confusing legal and illegal.

My brother is legally in Canada, but as a tourist. He had an American tourist visa, but at the moment it is expired. He stayed in the United States for less than 6 months, with his tourist visa

Canada 2 years and 10 months,

 

You said otherwise.

 

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
