Greetings Jorge Rivera, immigration attorney.

This is the question of millions of people who are working without papers but would like to fix it, and yes, you can do it for the employer even better.
The answer is YES, your boss can help you, but the main obstacle for people who want to arrange through their employers is that they are undocumented..

How to get residency through your employer if you are undocumented?

There are two different ways in which you can reach the residence through an employer even if you are currently undocumented.

The first is the Law "245I". If you have a petition prior to April 30, 2001, you are allowed to pay a fine of one thousand dollars and your entry and legal stay are forgiven.

The other way, and the most interesting one, is for all those people who have parents who are residents or U.S. citizens, especially from Mexico. There are many people who have been petitioned by their fathers or mothers and have to wait more than 20 years, nobody wants to wait more than 20 years so they have to wait more than 20 years. What can they do? A labor certification with labor petition which takes 2, 3 years, and then you ask for a forgiveness on a parental basis.

That allows you to obtain residency, because the parents forgive you entry, legal stay and a pardon, which cannot be given to you by the employer, nor by children or siblings, for example.

So this is a good alternative for you to keep in mind, and to let all those immigrants who have resident or citizen parents know that they have an open path to make the request work in combination with parental forgiveness.
