If you got caught once and you have been finger printed. Well that will be harder for you to get leagal status. Also the person that said you can get it faster when you married a citizen. Well they are wrong. Laws have changed and it is harder for you to get your green card. I dont understand why did you wait 16yrs to ask this question. People llike you are the ones that caused this problems at this time. You are lazy. Do you have a driver license? If yes then why did you decide to get a DL first and not the most important thing you needed. BE RESPONSIBLE! YOu're going to pay bundle to get your legal status. I know cause I worked the Calif/mexico Border with the US Army. I did the drug enforcement and learned all the laws for immigration. So dont be happy about marring a american. Remember LAWs has changed.
That order of deportatiion is a WARRANT.

Only thing I can suggest is that you have to return to your country and apply through the legal channels. You are here illegally and nothing can change or forgive that. You have to return to your country and apply. You've been in the USA for 16 years and love it - thanks for the compliment to my country, but you are still illegal and we don't want you. Just because you have managed to duck the law for 16 years does not give you "special privileges." You are a severe lawbreaker and we don't want you in our country illegally. Other people have spent a lot of money and time to immigrate legally and so why should they have to stand back while you jump in front of them and you do not have to pay the fees or wait the required time? How do you justify that? Do you just believe that your need is more urgent than theirs? How can you decide that? That is why we have an Immigration department - they are the ones who can decide these things. Your own need may be urgent to you, but in comparison to someone else's need, maybe your need is NOT so urgent.

If you married an american, you can get a green card rightaway. Check the INS website for application process and documents. Mind you, a green card doesn't prevent you from being deported, esp. not if you're up on criminal charges and I don't know how the initial illegal entry will figure into it.

If you have married an American recently, contact an Immigration lawyer.
The only way to get a green card is to apply for one through the INS.
