My friends father is in the German Airforce and they are stationed here in the United States. She has been here for 7 years and they will be going back home in a couple of years. She is wanting to stay in the united states and not go back to Germany. What is the best course of action for this? Should we apply for the lottery or try other avenues?

Sept 1, 2011: Met at a service station my first night in England

Sept 15, 2011: Came down to where I go to University to spend a week with me

Oct 15, 2011: Went to London to be with him.. one of many trips between us

Oct 30, 2011: Engaged

Dec 20, 2011: Married

Feb 20, 2011: I-130 Sent

Mar 12, 2011: Rejected because of payment, waiting for packet to come back so I can resubmit it with proper payment.

April: Another rejection because I signed in the wrong place

May 1 2012: Sent I-130 AGAIN

May 7 2012: Received NOA1

May 17 2012: Received NOA2

June 18 2012: NVC stuff came in

July 6 2012: Called because never received NVC info

July 10 2012: Email with instructions received

August 1 2012: sent out AOS payment and AOS packet plus the other form

August 29 2012: had to get on a plane and fly away from the love my life.

Sept 12 2012: still no news from NVC, refiling all of my paperwork... feels like we have been apart forever already

Sept 14 2012: Emailed 3032 and resent I-864 with case number on every page, cover sheet and rechecked about 35 times to make sure it was all right

Oct, 1 2012: didn't check well enough received RFE

Oct, 13 2012: resent the packet with the information needed by the NVC

Oct, 14: Husband sent DS 230 from the UK

She cannot stay in the US.

The Diversity Visa takes years and the chances of winning is small, so she cannot stay in the US while applying.

There is nothing that allows her to stay.

Her only realistic way of staying is marriage to a US citizen.

A student visa only works is she has $25000 or more per year. This money must be in a US bank. Nearly impossible for most people.

Does she have a USC boyfriend?

How old is she? What does she do?

If she is a minor (as one might assume being with her dad) note that she will need high school diploma and two years work experience in a qualifying occupation to be eligible for lottery visa to be grahted anyway so that sounds possibly an unlikely route, even if she manages to win an entry. But if she has that background she can maybe find someone to sponsor her for an H1 work visa (dual intent) anyway.

Or as others seem to be suggesting, marry a green card...
