Hello all,

I have a freind who recently came to America and has "fallen" for someone who is not a Citizen but rather a permanent resident. What are her options as far as staying here w/o having to return back to her country?

Her VISA will expire in approximately 3 months at which time she will become illegal. If she marries him, will she be eligible to stay or will she have to go back as per Section 245(i)?

If the person she fell for was a US Citizen rather, wouldn't this make things a lot easier?

Also, she may be pregnant. If she waits to have her baby in the US during which time she will become illegal, will the child being AMERICAN make her eligible to apply for permanent residence or will she have to return to her country w/ her child and then apply for PR?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
 
Her child will not help her before he/she becomes above 18
She doesn't need to leave if she marries a US citizen or PR and her adjustment will take a long time, go to the CIS website for more info
 
That is not correct info.
First, kids has to be 21 years old to support parent's greencard.
Second, marrying PR does not give her any status, so that she has to leave
if her visa expires.
 
What happens if she's 7 months pregnant and her visa expires in a month. This of course assuming that her doctor wont allow her to travel. What happens then?
