Thank you for this information. I will remember this. He said he had a 10-year visa and had to renew and was being sponsored by his former company. He said he has permanent residence though. I don't think he is lying to me and believe this could be true. He has been in the states for over 20 years so he must have permanent residence. His English is not the best but I do believe he is telling me what he believes to be true. Also, he admitted he has a drinking problem and wants to do something about it. So, I am hopeful that he will take the initiative to do something positive for himself. He said he will start next year on this. He usually does what he says. I know I should probably not be too concerned about him. But, if he wants to change and get help, I will try to do my best to encourage him. I feel as if he hangs out with people who drink too much also and told him to change his buddies to people who don't drink. He understands. He can't do everything all at once. But, I'm going to continue to be supportive of his wanting to get help and do something for himself. I feel encouraged by his wanting to change and know it will be a difficult road for him. I will not abandon him so easily and am hopeful that as long as I keep supporting him emotionally and mentally about doing something about his drinking, he will do something.
