F1 Visa holder to Permant Resident - help plz

[nylife_87]

I have been attending Columbia U in New York for about a year now under an F1 visa. Ive decided I like it here and I want to stay, so how do I go about getting permanent resident status?

Get a sponser who can give employment after your study and apply green card.

or marry a US Citizen to get your Permanent resident status immediately.
