I have been a student under F-1 VISA for 9 years. I will have a PhD soon. I have heard we can get a green card ourselves since we have lived here longer than 5 years. I have 2 children who are American citizen. Please advise!

Consult with these folks, AND an attorney specializing in Immigration Law.

It is my guess that you will be given a green card and allowed to permanently remain in the USA.

Also, there is case history that people in the USA for 5+ years, may apply for citizenship.
