I'm American and my husband is a Korean citizen with a green card. Our nephew, who lives right now with his parents in Korea, will be moving in with us next year and probably will stay until he goes to college in 5 years. We need legal help sorting out the immigration and guardianship issues (we won't be legally adopting him but still need to be able to make decisions about his medical care, etc). Should I talk to an immigration or family lawyer or both? And does anyone have any lawyer recommendations?
Sorry this is in English, my Korean isn't good enough to ask such a complicated question.
Thanks for any recommendations or thoughts!

안녕하세요

조카되시는 분을 입양 (Adoption) 하셔서 영주권 (Green Card)를 받으시려는 목적이 아니시고, 단순히 Legal Guardianship 에 관한 문제인경우, 가정법 (Family Law) 변호사를 만나시기를 권해드리겠습니다.

제 조언이 조금이라도 보탬이 되셨기를 바랍니다.
