Answer:
sorry kiddo....you may be in a very tough predicament...if you entered US illegally without inspection ....its very hard to adjust status while remaining in the US...even if you entered US with a visa and the visa expired and you overstayed....you would still have hardships to overcome...depending on how long you have been in the US illegally...you could be deported and barred 3-10 yrs from re-entering the US....if your parents are petitioned for a green card through a family member who is a US citizen or through employment they you can get a green card based as a dependant ....this process can still take few years to develop....there are no quick ways to get green card unless Amnesty laws are passed.....did you just come to the US recently or you have been here a while? Im sure you can still attend a college even if you dont have green card ....as an illegal alien you can definitely apply for college...if you dont have a social security number....they will assign a student id number which you can use to enroll in classes and pay for your tuition...just bear in mind that not all college will allow this ...so u may have to do some research....also ....all your schooling expenses will have to come out of your own pocket...dont expect the gov't to pay for your books and tuition...later on if you still don't have any other viable options to obtain a green card...you could marry a US citizen and be petitioned by your spouse for green card... btw....seek help with the guidance counselors at your school...they might be able to help you get into a college regardless of your status.... good luck!!!
better apply now and you may get it in this life time......goodluck....oh_hell
