Hi, I hope everybody is doing fine.

My problem is that I have overstayed my F-1 VISA for more than a year after my OPT exprired. I won the green card lottery before about 2 years ago, but couldn't get it because I was late with the processing.

My question is, is there anything I can do to get legal agan, besides marriage.
 
Wait for Amnesty, Get a congressman or senator to sponsor a private bill for you, Get H1-B or L visa if you are sure that USCIS has not issued a formal ruling on your being out of status. Basically at this time you are almost out of options with marriage being the most likely way out unless the laws change .
 
Amnesty is not going to happen again. Americans don't want it, the government will not support it, and congress will reject it big time.
 
I've been admitted into a graduate program in Canada, and I'd be doing the visa processing here in the US. How would my illegal status here in US affect my chances getting canadian visa?

Thank you all very much
