I am legally working here but my work visa expires in 3 years, In other countries when you have a formal couple you get some rights, if I am living with my american boyfriend, is there any way to apply for the green card??? Thanks

No you cannot. You must be married to get a green card. You must remain married for 2 years to keep your green card. If you separate before then you lose it.

No, you can not get a green card after 2 years of cohabitation. You two should get married. However, only do so if you are in love. Don't get married just to remain in the country.

no, sorry. You are not a formal couple. Live in arrangements aren't recognized in any legal sense in the US. You must marry in order to have any legal standing.
IF you decide to do the K-1 (Fiance visa) you must marry within 90 days, so unless that is in the near future, you can forget it.

Cohabitation is meaningless. But if you get engaged, you can get a fiancee visa.

No, just because you are shacking up with an American citizen doesn't mean you have any rights whatsoever.

Yes, but you have to take videos of your cohabitation to prove that you two are serious.

If it was that easy we would have alot of people doing it, that sounds like sex for documentation.
