How can I find about bringing a person from Mexico to U.S. to get a green card?

I have an exchange student from Mexico who has gone home and has now got a degree in engineering and wants to come back here to work. I don't know the procedure to do this. Can anyone help?

Answer:
Here is one way...

H-1B status requires a sponsoring U.S. employer. The employer must file a labor condition application (LCA) with the Department of Labor attesting to several items, including payment of prevailing wages for the position, and the working conditions offered. The employer must then file the certified LCA with a Form I-129 petition plus accompanying fee of $130. (Prior to FY2004, employers were required to submit an additional $1,000 fee to sponsor the H-1B worker, unless specifically exempt.) Based on the USCIS petition approval, the alien may apply for the H-1B visa, admission, or a change of nonimmigrant status.

For additional information on employer’s filing needs, please visit the Department of Labor’s Foreign Labor Certification page.


Furthermore...anyone who has been issued a h-1b can use it for what is called "Dual intent", meaning that he can apply for a green card thru this visa. This is really about the only way he can enter the US except of course Illegally. (Dont do that!) good luck!! Hope this helps!
if he can find an employer who can be his sponsor due to his skills then maybe...its a long process
Contact the Immigration and Naturalisation Services of the US. You'll find a 800 number in the phone book.
Or he contacts the US Embassy in Mexico to start all the paperwork from there.
Its called the H1b visa,and he or she would have to apply for It and wait In line,to do it LEGALLY.
