Well, I am 20 years old and I am studying biomedical engineering, I am an international student on a F-1 visa since August 2011, I been in Ohio for around 4 years and a half, I got married to my best friend four months ago and i am willing to stay with her and live with her in the states, currently she is 17 years old, can she apply a citizenship for me at the age of 17?
We got married after she got permission from her parents.
A: You really should have gone to see an immigration attorney first. You may now be required to leave the country during the application process, which can take a long time. I suggest you go sit down with an immigration attorney now.
