Nope, you have to apply for a loan as a student, not your husband sorry.

Get a lawyer and he can maybe get a you a petition to go back to your country get a visa and come back.

I know in some states there are bank loans that you can get if you have a credit-worthy US citizen cosigner on your loan.

Don't know about the loan situation.....but I would strongly suggest looking into trying to get your status adjusted.

Grande had come to the Bay Area illegally as a 15-year-old to help his family. Clements was born here. They fell in love after meeting in their mid-20s when both were students. They married a few years later.

"I think a lot of people have the misconception that if you marry a U.S. citizen, it's all good, and that's a fix-all. It really depends on what country you're from," Clements said.

The United States bars immigrants from applying for a green card for 10 years if they have been living illegally in the country for more than a year, or for three years if they have been unlawful residents for six months to a year. Some can get a special waiver to bypass that obstacle if they have U.S. citizen husbands, wives or parents who would face "extreme hardship" if they were deported.

But to get that waiver, they have to leave the country and wait an average of six months -- sometimes a year or more -- for the U.S. government to review their case.

Grande had to repeatedly fly to appointments at the U.S. consulate in Juárez from the other end of Mexico, once on the day after Christmas, and finally got a green card in November 2007 after a three-year delay.

The long wait can be its own form of hardship on affected U.S. families, said Mayorkas, who announced the more lenient policy. It was published Friday in the Federal Register but must go through a public comment process.

Undocumented spouses and children of U.S. citizens will be able to stay in the United States as their cases proceed instead of spending that time waiting abroad, Mayorkas said.

They still have to go back to their home country to be interviewed for a green card at a U.S. consulate, such as the one in Ciudad Juárez, but would already know if they could bypass the years-long bar.

Ask buckminsterfullerene and check this out. Buckminsterfullerence was able to get the loan with an U.S. citizen co-signer.

you have to look for a bank that will give you a student loan and your husband has to co-sign.
