Last time I used my green card to do it, now since both of my cards are expired at the same time how I can get an ID?

answered on Feb 26, 2023
No, your age and status as an adult do not change based on the state in which you reside. Once you reach the age of majority in your home state, you are considered an adult and that status remains regardless of where you move within the United States. Therefore, as a 20-year-old who has reached the... View More

The age of majority is governed by the law of the state with the most significant relationship to the contract or transaction in question. Your place of residence at the time of the contract or transaction will be a meaningful contact in that analysis.

Your marriage will be legal unless one of you is already married to someone else or under age.
Your husband may be eligible for a waiver of his unlawful presence and a green card. I suggest you contact an experienced immigration attorney to discuss the possibilities.
