OP here.

So... Who can I contact to confirm that my 16 year old will legally be allowed to live either by himself in my home, or with a friend, for the duration of my immigration process? He’s a US citizen, of course.

What paperwork do I need to sign, for medical care and temporary authorization to live without me, or in the care of someone else?

Thank you. We are very stressed about this, and my immigration attorney is not helpful.

I'm sorry you are in this situation. Ugh. I also don't think it's the nightmare that some people are making it out to be.

Best case scenario you find a family for him to live with. If that's not going to be possible, then I think you do have to find someone that can check in on him, etc.

A Medical Power of Attorney will solve the Dr./emergency issue - google medical power of attorney for minor Maryland. I don't think you want to do a guardianship, which gives someone else parental authority over all decisions.

Best of luck to you - I hope you don't have to leave![/quote]
