The problem that I see in your case is that you do not appear to be in legal status at this time. OPT is attached to maintaining a legal student status. If you enroll to another school, you would not be considered legal just by the enrollment. The school would have to check with DHS and you would likely have to go through the reinstatement process to go back to legal status. If you manage to do that, you might then request the school to issue you OPT during the time that you are studying.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.

You can apply for lawful permanent residence after your marriage to your girlfriend, if you plan on living in the United States, through the immigrant visa process. You are eligible to apply for U.S. citizenship once you have been a lawful permanent resident for 3 years and have resided in the U.S. for at least 50% of the 3 years immediately preceding your citizenship application. Your U.S. citizen spouse would file an I-130, which would initiate the process to verify your marriage for the purpose of your immigrating to the U.S. You would then be contacted by the Department of State to start the process of being interviewed at the U.S. consulate or embassy abroad.

You are going to have major problems. After a certain number of illegal reentries there is a permanent bar from returning. You need to hire an attorney to go through your paperwork and determine what if anything can be done.
