No. He or she is not eligible for permanent residency. The foreign national is now unlawfully present in the US and must voluntarily return to his or her country of origin or be officially deported. Because the foreign national remained in the US unlawfully for more than one year, he or she cannot apply for reentry into the US for 10 years.

Sorry! You have to wait for the immigration reform. If you are an student now, you need to find information about the proyect: DREAM ACT. Since you are 18 years old you are responsible for your illegal status.
