Legal Question in Immigration Law in Washington

Well I was born in Mexico but moved to united state of America when I was 4. I've been living here for 15 years. I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 years now, since high school and until I was able to get a job I found out I was an immigrant. So can I apply to get a green card just like that since I've been living in united states of America over 10 years. And would be easier to get my green card if my girlfriend and I got married? If I can apply just like that, where can I do that?

No, you can't. I understand that you and your parents came to USA illegally and currently living in USA illegally, correct? If you came to USA illegally, you are not eligible for adjustment of status/green card even if married to a USA citizen. You will have to go back to Mexico and apply for a visa, and when denied - for a hardship waiver.
