I will try to make this brief.
Came in to US on B2 from London Jan 2000
Left US in July 2000 and came back in on B2 Aug 2000
Left US again in Feb 2001 for 3 days came back in on B2.
All of these instances my arrival card was never taken from me and my departure never documented.
At this time I decided to see a lawyer about my options. I was working for a hypnosis center as a receptionist and studying hypnotherapy as I have a background in alternative therapies. The lawyer advised that we file for GC thru LC promptly before 245(i) runs out. Application sent in and given date of April 27th. After 18mnths my lawyer decided to advertise and then 6 months later, my sponsor shut the company and filed bankruptcy. Since then I have been in limbo. With a life all established here and my hopes set on becomming legal I do not want to leave and be subject to the 10 yr ban.
I have dropped my original lawyer who did nothing but waste my time and have consulted many websites and other lawyers. I have found a lawyer that I feel I can trust and he has advised that I find a family to sponsor me as a cook. I am currently working for a foreign company running their US operations, pay very healthy taxes and basically live the life as a US national but am unable to leave the country.
I am living with an AUstralian boyfriend who holds an H1-b with an application for GC pending. We plan to marry in the future. Will out marriage help my situation? I have heard that I can jump onto his GC application - does this mean that I have to have an app in the process also? Or can I be part of his app as a sponsor?
Has anyone else been in this situation or similar that can offer some sound advice?

Thanking You
