    Default Obtaining Citizenship As a Student

    I am posting this for my girlfriend of one year, whom I love dearly and would like to gain more insight into her situation.

    She came here with her family when she was 9 years old from Iran. They all received their visas but for some reason she was the only one who did not.

    She is now a student at a Cal State university, graduating in about a year and a half. She has no driver's license obviously and would have a hard time finding a job when she graduates considering her circumstances.

    Is her only option at this point to marry me? Can we get her a student Visa for the time being so I am not forced into such a difficult situation? I wouldn't MIND marrying her, but don't want to so prematurely. I feel as if it would be too forced, and at 22 years of age (she being 24) I feel it is too soon.

    Can anyone help? I can provide more details if deemed necessary.

    If she did not have a visa, how did she manage to enter the U.S.?

    If she never had legal status, she can't adjust her status on the basis of marriage.

    From what you've said so far, she should consult an immigration lawyer.

    I apologize, what I meant to say was that her visa expired...
