    Default Out of Status from F-1 Visa

    hi,
    my gf was studying in usa with an f-1 visa until dec 05 when her visa expired. Now she is not going to school anymore and she is out of status. we are thinking about getting married here to keep her here. does she have to leave the country to get the green card? what is the process that we have to do?
    thanks

    You can get married then petition to adjust her status; but you would be well-served to consider consulting an immigration lawyer about the specifics of her case, as you want that petition to be granted.
