I need immigration help for a friend.?

I have a friens who lives in Jamaica, he wants to be an American. I told him I would help him. What are the first steps I need to do to help him be an American.?

Answer:
You cannot sponsor him as a friend. Only spouses, parents or siblings may do that. If he has a brother/sister/parent in the US who is a citizen or Green Card holder they can help him immigrate there.
talk to a lawyer.
Tell him to go to the US Embassy and talk to someone there. Or tell him to visit http://www.uscis.gov
he needs to apply for a green card
You are simply a friend and there is nothing you can do for him. For him to come here legally he has to get a visitor visa(only allowed for visits), a student visa( only to study), a workers visa( must be sponsored by an employer), or a marriage visa(must be married to a us citizen), or a fiancee visa (must be engaged to a us citizen, prove relationship, and marry within 3 months of entry). Those are his only options and there is nothing you can do to help him.
