Chari, first of all do not listen to what people say.. of course, marriage to an US citizen is an option. But you can't just do it for a piece of paper.. it's no different than prostitution if you just marry for a paper. .. if you do fall in love and then get married than that is an option.. kagaji marriage for $$, good luck... but be optimistic.. looks like Bush is making illegals - legal.. no one has brought up that issue, althought it's the heated debate in the senate right now... so be optimistic, don't give up and be healthy, think clean and positive... you'll be happy no matter where...
