As long as you entered the country legally, you can acquire a green card through marriage to a US citizen, despite that you're now in unlawful status. Did u enter the country legally? Furthermore, if you did enter the country legally, retain Immigratioon counsel to handle your case and do not travel out of the country or else you will trip the 3 or 10 year bar depending upon how much unlawful presence you have accrued. You can retain counsel anywhere in the USA.
