My girlfriend is from Vietnam.
Here on a work visa.
for her to become a us citizen would I have to marry her, or have a child born here, or can she just apply for citizenship on her own.
I believe she wants to stay here with me.

(1) Who is eligible to sponsor their spouse?
A U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident may apply to bring a husband or wife to live and work permanently in the United States. If you are a lawful permanent resident your spouse must have an immigrant visa number available to become a permanent resident. If you were married to your spouse before you became a permanent resident, your spouse may be eligible to receive following-to-join benefits. This means that you would not have to submit a separate INS Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) for your spouse, and your spouse would not have to wait any extra time for an immigrant visa number to become available.

Your girlfriend needs to be sponsored by a family member to apply for citizenship. If you marry her, then you are the family member. The unwritten INS rule is if you marry her and knock her up, she is not likely to be deported. However, that won't stop INS from giving you a hard time.

A friend of mine came here on a work visa, married her boyfriend and just had a child together. INS is allowing her to stay, but will lnot allow her back if she leaves the country until her green card is processed. It has taken over two years so far, and she has not seen two of her children who live in Vietnam from a previous marriage during this time.

Good luck to you!
