    Default Marriage to Illegal Immigrant

    HI, I have entered to US legally via J-1 Visa 6 yrs ago, then changed it to F1 Status. F 1 status has been recently expired and while I overstayed I am getting married in 2 months.

    If you could help me with 2 questions:

    1. When I get married in state of MI do I need to have my original Birth Certificate with me? Or can I just have certified/notirized copy? Did research online, getting different info.

    2. When I am married to US citizen what are my chances to get temporary green card? I have been working and paying taxes all years I have been in US (was not legally allowed to work though, my SS was with restrictions) 6 years.. Also how quick can I get temporary travel card so I could go back and visit my parents..

    Really would appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

    1. You need a certified copy of your birth certificate and, if it's in a foreign language, a certified translation. (How would you get the original - it's an official government document.)

    2. By "temporary" you mean what? Conditional? Other than your being out of status and working illegally, I don't know anything about your situation. From the tiny amount of information I have, I have little cause not to expect you will be able to adjust your status; but if you want your personal situation analyzed, talk over the details with an immigration lawyer.
