Thanks, but I don't know exactly what he wants.  I told him i would research a bit to see what options there are available and get back to him.  Once he knows the options, processing times...etc.  he can make the best decision for him and his family. whether that is traveling alone temporarily or with family EB-3.   I appreciate the feedback.  

to those that replied, thank you.  I read somewhere that a tourist visa can change status, but i guess not , so lets move on please.  He still wants to come and work legally here temporarily.  He has a successful business that he will not be closing in Colombia, but he wants the experience of coming to US and working temporarily, even without his family because it will be temporary.  Are there any options, that are not the EB-3?
 
Thanks FAMILY, this sounds like a great option.  I read just now processing times are 1-3 years.  i will continue to research.
 
Also for both these options, is an immigration lawyer required?  I did all the K-1 visa process for my wife and step daughter 13 years ago until Naturalization, ourselves with the help of this forum.  If immigration lawyer is recommended for the work visa, i will advise of the additional cost, but just want to know if we can do ourselves, since i am somewhat familiar with process, applications..etc.  and access to this forum.

I contacted my local congressman and gave them copies of everything. They are going to contact me when they get answers. I wish I had the actual conditional GC as official proof but I hope this gets resolved soon.
