I entered the country legally, but have been "out of status" for about a month. I would like to married my girlfriend "US permanet resident". I don't know I need to leave the country or if I could stay here after we get married.

You can only apply for residence through a us citizen, not a permanent residence if you came legally. If you have been out of status for more than six months, you will need to leave and apply outside the country and apply for a waiver to get back in. I don't suggest that because if they don't approve the waiver, you are outside the country for at least 3 years if not 10 before you can come back. My advice is to get married (if it is for love), then have her apply for citizenship if she is eligible and once she gets it, then you can apply for your residence. You should not wait until she is a citizen to marry because the more time you are married when you apply for your residence, the better.

its probably best you wait for her to become a US citizen... but if that will take a while, get married now... you will probably have to leave but not for too long. This things are best answered by an immigration lawyer.

I think you have to go back home, and wait. It can take a long time before you can re-enter the States. Sorry. :(.

Yeah Pee Pee, you can pop out a few Welfare kids and beg not to be deported!
But that won't help you, because you spit on us now we're going to deport your illegal butt!

You can marry her, but they can still deport you as long as you are ILLEGAL.
