Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

I was entered into the United States when I was 8 years old. I was entered on the plane with a fake passport and ever since I've been using my real name. I used my real name for school and college. I'm currently here illegally. I want to start my process of application for citizenship but there is a problem. My lawyer told me to marry under the name i entered with and so i did. Before we started the application he realized i was finger printed under my real name so if i were to apply my finger prints would show already in the system. So the only solution is to change my fake name to my real name (which doesnt have a visa) on the marriage license. How do i go about doing so? and will i still be able to obtain a green card? I reside in massachusetts.

I would have to agree with the statement above. If you are on this website asking questions to us, and not to your lawyer something may be wrong. You may need to consider another lawyer.

A full explanation of all the facts would be needed before your situation could be evaluated. My office is located in Boston and the first appointment is free for us to talk with each other. If you would like you may call or email my office: [email protected] (617) 329-9557
