I came into the United States legally a few years ago and I recently married a US citizen but my immigration status is expired and I have been working illegally, what can I do?

As the spouse of a US citizen, an immigrant visa is immediately available to you.

If you married in the US and are still in the US, it may be possible for your spouse to file an immigrant petition for you as well as a green card application . You may also be able to ask for work authorization. However, if you are currently outside the US and you married on a foreign country, this situation my be more complicated.
