Re: what are the possibilities

If your girlfriend has sufficient income and/or assets to support you, she can file an immigrant visa for you after you marry or a fiance visa for you now. If you enter the US legally on a visa waiver, then marry and the immigration applications are filed within 90 days, you would not have to leave the U.S. while the application is pending.

You are eligible to file for an adjustment of status and stay in the U.S. while it is processed, assuming you are in the United States and ideally, 60 days has passed since you last entered before you are married.

Given a recent court case, you may want to file before the 90 days have expired however.
