I
was born in Jamaica, West Indies. My aunt sent for me to enter the
United States in 1998 when she found out I was pregnant. I had my
daughter in July of 1998. In 1999 my aunt died while in the process
of filing for my papers and I went to live with her son's daycare
provider. Since I have been living with her, she has not shown me
how to go about getting my citizenship. My daughter is now 8 years
old and I am 23 years old. I have not even finished school. I want
to become a doctor but without the right paper work, I can't really
do anything. I came to the U.S legally on a visa and a passport and
I don't even know how the ones who came here illegally are living.
I want to do things the right way. My boyfriend wants to marry me
so I can get my stuff together but he is scared because he thinks
it is illegal and he might go to jail. I have never worked and I want
to be able to give my daughter the finer things in life. I want to
know why the Bush organization is not doing anything about the people
who have been here for so long legally and can't get any kind of citizenship.

If
you entered the country legally, with a visa, you and your boyfriend
will not have any trouble once you get married. My advice is to
seek an immigration attorney. I am a U.S. citizen that is married
to someone from El Salvador. Because he cannot show proof of legal
entry, our success with immigration has been very difficult. We've
learned the hard way which is why I advise to see an immigration
attorney, rather then trying to fill out the paperwork yourself.
It's too complicated, and if you miss one thing it causes too much
trouble. If you marry for love, and your husband is a U.S. Citizen
or Permanent Resident and you entered legally you should have no
problem. And he would not go to jail or get in trouble for anything,
he hasn't done anything wrong. Hope this helps. Good luck &
God bless.
