Hello wonderful world of allnurses.com. I come with a dire need of advice...
I recently met my boyfriend in the Philippines in the summer while on vacation. We instantly hit it off and kept in touch when I returned to the U.S. In October he decided to come here on a tourist visa and we have been together ever since. He will be taking the NCLEX LVN exam in March, therefore his six months will be up in April. We are frantically weighing his immigration options so that we can stay together. These are some options we heard of: If he passes the exam he should...
1.) Find a hospital who will sponsor him as an LVN
2.) Find a caregiver agency who will sponsor
3.) Apply for an LVN to RN ladder program at a local college to get a student visa
Does anyone know of any other options? Agencies? Hospitals? Pro bono immigration lawyers? HELP!
It's absolutely not illegal to stay and adjust status, provided they did not have that intent when he entered the US on a tourist visa, which obviously they didn't.

Absolutely but if they are thinking about it and one of them is not currently in the country then the intent is there. All the OP says is that her boyfriend is going back home at the end of March and no indication that they want to get married or even thought about it
