You do not need your parents' consent for filing an application for a green card, just like the law does not require you to obtain their consent for your marriage in this country. If your fiance has sufficient income to qualify as your sponsor on Form I-864 Affidavit of Support (or finds someone to become a co-sponsor), there should not be too many problems with your becoming a permanent resident. However, I would suggest that you stay in school until you get your degree and keep your F1 status. If you apply for adjustment of status 2 years or longer after your marriage, the process will be a bit easier, about $500 cheaper, and, most importantly, the green card you will receive will be a permanent one, not a temporary, conditioned on continuation of your marriage. Young marriages fall apart quite often. If your love does not last 2 years, you would still be legal in the U.S. as an F1 student and not be locked in a dead marriage by fear of deportation. Not completing your degree while your parents pay for it is not a particularly bright idea. Besides, it is very likely that your parents disapprove of your fiance partly because they think marriage would cause you to cut short your education; if you continue your studies after getting married, your parents might change their attitude towards your marriage and your husband.
