I was born in Czech Republic (EUROPE)... I moved to US in December 1998, I was 11. My parents brought me and my older sister here on tourist visa. My dad got his driver's license and a social security number (nonworking) when we first moved here. It's been a long tour... because my parents just decided to stay here, I was a child and had no say so in this. It was not my choice to move here, and it was not my choice to break the law. I grew up in this country, I have Amerrican friends, and am in love with an amazing American boy. My parents did not take care of this like they should have. I am now 19 and just graduated high school, I want to further my education, have a job, pay taxes, vote...
After a lot of research, and a visit to a lawyer I found out the only thing to do is get married... I have a serious boyfriend... but I'm 19 and he is 20... we're just not ready for that yet...
What can I do to get right???
Thanks in advance... for anyone's advice.

You've lived here for more than 7 yrs. You can apply for citizenship if you can prove your residence over the last few years.

You did not pick to return to the US as a minor, however you may have selected to stay right here as an grownup. If your father has a inexperienced card, then he can petition you for one, however you will not be ready to regulate popularity from an overstayed visa except your father naturalizes as a US citizen. I don't realize why you didn't get a inexperienced card even as as your father except your father acquired his via one in every of your siblings who married a US citizen and ultimately naturalized and petitioned your father. I'm sorry that our executive enables adults like your father to sign up their non-resident kids in our faculties. If our faculties would examine authorized popularity and deny admission to non-resident scholars, then mothers and fathers like yours would not drag their youngsters right here on vacationer visas towards their will.

I am 19 years old too, and like your parents, mine broke the law as well. They decided to return to our country because America just wasn't all that. I too had an American boyfriend who just happened to be madly in love with me - and conversely, I love him too! - that we decided to get married and everything is just peachy now.
Get married... ONLY if your love is true and meant to outlast time itself.
