Technically we're still illegal. We're just documented now

3 years ago plan Z was going back home (I had no options left), but then magically DACA happened... and so did my parent's PR.

so now plan B is waiting for my priority date. I got a long wait but it's better than nothing.

Marrying a US citizen just to get a status was never an option for me for many reasons, mostly out of conviction and pride. I think I would have saved myself a lot of grief doing that a very very long time ago but... That's not me. However, I don't recommend it. If you can't take it, give in. I just couldn't.

I know many a people who married some stripper and got their green cards or even more dishonestly pretended to love someone and married them knowing full well they were going to use them. Sometimes I think back to my early 20's and think I should have done that and how much my life would be different but that was never in my DNA and there was always hope that I'd meet someone who would be understanding of my situation, but it turns out for the girls that I tend to go for, my status scares the crap out of them and all their friends tell them I'm going to use them and leave them (thanks to the guys I mentioned above).

I also think to how many other people I've met, other experiences I've had during this time and for better or for worse, this is my life and it's mine.

If you're thinking of the marriage route, remember this: strippers lie and will extort more and more money from you and set off huge red flags; The girl you were going to use will get pregnant and hit you up for child support for years to come; And you're only young once.

Same here on just about everything. Getting married seems so easy for everyone else but I could never. Maybe not out of pride or conviction, I'm just weird as hell and emotionally vacant. Plus I feel like the dynamics of the marriage would be a little skewed, unless I helped them become pr/citizens of my birth country . If somehow down the line I do end up married I'm also going to feel weird about that because I'll be like you dummy, you did have it in you this whole time...

Most likely though I'll end up an old crazy dog lady,

My mom has CPR and will be applying to remove conditions soon, my dad is working on getting his, my sister is USC, I still have a couple options fortunately.

I have no options left beside the expended DACA that i've been waiting for. Am an overstayed visa.
If expanded DACA didn't succeed, my plan B is to come back to my country. I won't mind if they're going to ban me for 10 years since I can't work or do anything in US anyway.
