I am a naturalized Citizen and have lived in the U.S. all my life. I am 18 years old and have a pregnant girlfriend. Shes is 18 and illegal. Her birthday is November 12, 1993. I understand if she leaves within 180 days the 3 year penalty would not apply. We want to get married but I don't know how to go about getting her to a legal status. I make over 60k a year. I am able to support her and the child. What would the quickest way to go about this? Wait til after the elections and see if there is something easier available? She graduated from high school in December and is about to graduate from a vocational school in May. Is there a way we could do this all form within the United States? Please shine some light on my situation. She entered illegally underage.
How should I begin to resolve my situation?

The elections are certainly NOT going to make immigration and adjustment of status easier. Even if there was a total regime change one way or another, it's going to to likely take to 2014 until things get tighter or loser.

Exactly what do you mean by "Shes is 18 and illegal". As you can surely see from the zillion or so threads addressing this subject, the key question is whether she entered lawfully and can adjust her status based on marriage, or if she entered unlawfully and cannot.

The poster states she entered illegally, which likely means without admission or parole.

Your case sounds sufficiently complex that I would consult with an immigration attorney to determine whether she should depart now and apply for a spousal visa.
