hello everyone,

i know i am just the one out of many international students who wants to stay in the us and finish her education, get a job and start a family.

i am interested in getting a green card sometime in the future (a year or so) but i dont want to get married. ive been in a relationship with a us citizen for over a year however we dont want to get married for papers.

my question: is there any other way i can file for a green card ( beside through marriage/ employment) and actually get approved? i read somewhere that there is no law that prohibits any f-1 visa holders to apply for a green card. and if this is true, what are my chance of actually getting it?

thanks
