Zolbo - Please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of this forum members. People come to this site to find a way to get legal and make a better life for themselves and their families. Most of the members here came illegally or came with the intention of staying here, deceiving the authorities of their actual intent. Came here legally, overstayed and then married a USC. That does not make them any better than you.
Please take my advice, if you are in love with your girl friend and have intentions to marry her in future, then go ahead and marry her now and do your thing. Most of the employment based immigrants in this country think that the have a god given right to come here as employment seekers, then adjust their status to green card holders, and then bring their spouses here, and their parents and their siblings her and that is perfectly legal....................
Don't get discouraged by some rude remarks, you have every right to be here as them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
