Hi,
Ive looked aroundthe web and called several lawyers but cannot get an answer on my situation. I came to the US on a visitor visa(im a kenyan citizen) and applied for school on an I-20, the school let me continue my classes while my student visa was being processed, and eventually denied. when the time came for graduation, I applied for an EAD with my I-20 for practical training and it got apporved at which point I obtained a Valid Soc-sec # and got employment. My employer applied for an H-1 visa which got approved for 3 years but then I received a letter from INS stating that my EAD was issued by mistake and that I should return it, which I did. I eventually got laid off and have overstayed my H-1 for almost 3 years now, during which time I have fallen in love with a US citizen and we are planning to get married. My question is considering these circmustances is it possible for me to become legal or do I have to leave the country with my wife to settle in Kenya
