Can i have a green card if??immigration and business law?

Jennyfer---you are facing a much bigger problem: you have no green card only a student visa---and your boyfriend, who I ume is also the father of the soon to be born child is American. The child will be American citizen---and guess who will get custody of this child if you do not marry? The father of the child who is American--you will not get custody because you are not a legal resident, you just are here legally. The child will be American, the child's father is American, so he will automatically get custody----and so your best option is to get married. The green card will be expensive one way or the other, because you have to pay an application fee, physicals, more fees---I've heard that right now the application alone is 800 dollars. In order to get a resident card you have to have a sponsor---and not everyone can sponsor you because without being married you and the sponsor have to show that you can do something no one else in the U.S. can do for the sponsor--whereas if you get married, you'll be the wife and he becomes your sponsor on the paperwork. The fact that the child will be U.S. citizen does not help you either, because a child has to be 18 years or older to be permitted to sponsor another person...so I think marriage is really your best--and pretty much your only option. And who knows, things might just work out well.....good luck
