Answer 1

I found a very helpful website that you may find useful too.

Answer 2

I assume your husband is not a US citizen but is a permanent resident (i.e. green card holder).

If the above is true, then once your husband turns 18 he may file an I-130 for you, but not before that. Permanent residents aged 18 and up may apply for their spouses to come to the US, although the waiting time for such a petition takes a couple of years. When applying, they also have to show that they can provide for you and meet 125% of the poverty guidelines, which is currently a minimum income of $17,500 per year for a household of two.

For the time being you will need a student visa to study in the US.

Answer 3

Probably not.  Immigration is going to be all over you -- marrying a 17 year old boy.  That's just sooo obvious.

Answer 4

If you married a US citizen then you would be able to do that, but since he isn't a citizen, then NO, you have to apply and follow the process like everyone else who immigrates here.

Answer 5

A citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States may file form I-130 with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to establish the existence of a relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States. However, it's going to take several years before you can receive an immigrant visa based upon your marriage.

You can stay until your I-94 expires. Look at your I-94. The admission stamp will be endorsed with an expiration date. You were given permission to stay in the U.S. until that date, and not longer.

You can get a green card and a social security card after you receive your immigrant visa and enter the U.S. as a new immigrant. Right now, the waiting period for most applicants is about five years.

In the meantime, you will need to wait outside the U.S. for your priority number to be reached. You are not allowed to study using a visitors visa, and you don't qualify for a student visa because you do not have a foreign residence to which you intend to return after your studies come to an end.

Answer 6

he must sponsor you but you are not old enough.

contact immig via 1 800 fed info in the usa.

you cannot get anythng until you have the perm legal right to be here. marrying a person no longer gives anyone the automatic rights of an american. tell people. it is an old wives tale.

Answer 7

On my knowledge a person should be 21 years old and working before he/she sponsor I-130 to any of the relatives.

Answer 8

Your husband cannot apply for any sort of immigration or visa for you.  He is a minor child.  He is not a US citizen.  You married while you are here on a tourist visa, which automatically flags you for marriage fraud investigation.  You must return to your own country before your tourist visa expires.  

After your "husband" becomes a legal permanent resident and is old enough, and IF he has sufficient income and assets to support you and guarantee a $30,000 bond for 10 years, then he can apply for a spousal visa for you.  It will take at least 5 years since legal permanent residents cannot get a spouse any priority for admission.  You must remain in your country of citizenship the entire time until you receive a spousal visa and permission to enter the US.

If you do not return home before your visa expires, you become an illegal alien and will be barred from re-entry.  You have also eliminated any chance of obtaining a student visa.  Go home.  You have thoroughly fouled this up, and now you have to leave until your new husband can get you a spousal visa -- if he can ever get you one.

Answer 9

Yes, you could.
