I debated it-I was a legal resident, and had a green card, but was ineligible to work in the country. I was still in high school and was in the top 2% of my graduating class, but couldn't receive any scholarships to go to college. I didn't know what to do, so I did think about marrying my boyfriend (we'd been together 2 years at the time, now 5). It was a tough situation, and I know several people who have married their significant others of several years so that they could live together in the same country.
As it turned out, I became a citizen, thanks to the Child Adjustment Act of 1997, 2 weeks before my 18th birthday...although it still took another 2 years to get my certificate of citizenship.
