This is my first time posting here, I really hope it helps me. This is my situation: I'm Dominican. I met my American girlfriend last March (03/06), we've been living together since May and now she's pregnant. The only BIG problem we have, is that I enterred the country (USA) illegally, which means, as far as I know, that if we marry here I should go back to DR and even pay a penalty that could ban me from entering the country for up to 10 years. I've visited a few lawyers, but they all coincide telling me that the best I can do is to wait for the new immigration bill ( which seems that will never be approved), that's what I've been doing so far, but I'm getting desperate.
I've been considering trying to go back the same way I enterred (unnoticed), and once there, marry her or that she request a Fiance visa to get me back and marry her here, but it's my believe that the process could take more than 24 months as spouse or fiance.
Because she had never visited the DR, just in case it may help us in the future, I sent her in May, so that she can have prove that she met me there, and as soon as we realize the she was pregnant, I sent her back again, just to be covered in case i decide to go back and make it look like I've never been here and not be penalized.
Am I doing the right thing?
Please, help me figure this out!!!!
