Your options are limited. If you are married to a US citizen you could possibly get a green card. HOWEVER, I do NOT advise marrying just for a green card. The marriage must be legitimate.

I don't know if you have any other petitions filed on your behalf but be sure to discuss that when you speak to an attorney (you may contact our office as well for a consultation).
