^Isn't that illegal? =/

Something a bit unsure about in all of the FAQ

I get it, but say a guy has been here since...ah...say like 7yrs old or some age likethat. Say a temporary visa. It expires when he is 17 but he doesn't know and finds out AFTER hes 18.

Okay...so what now?

I know the whole marriage thing has to wait until the US Citizen is 21 years of age, right??? (California)

Well anyways, what would be available?


THEN say he's one of those people you hear about who graduate with honors and stuff, going to community college, etc. Then what?

=[

(whoops, I think my question has already been answered. but basically, i'm not all well educated about how to go about anything or what certain things mean....i just haven't gotten the time just yet unfortunately. so my question still remains)
