How to obtain proof?
Answer:
It is kind of difficult, at least a lot of calling and writing to the proper offices and requesting transcripts from schools that you attended must have information. The county courthouse where you lived probably has some records. You do have to recall the years, the names of schools, any family members that live here. Plus if nothing else there must be a record of your legal status in the United States. It has been 12 years since you entered the country. You don't mention under what status your mother arrived except with a passport and you weren't required any documentation that you might know of. Twelve years is not that long ago to research documents from any residence, school, port of entry to U.S. Once that is resolved since you are married if, you are not already a legal resident, you can apply to become a legal resident (two factors you have resided 12 years here plus you are married to a citizen of this country). The immigration department still does test that it is a marriage of "love", and not to acquire residency, since many people still obtain residency through a brief marriage and afterwards an annulment or divorce. But as far as working, you would still be able to work although you may not have citizenship. Did your mother not get you a Social Security number? I strongly recommend researching all the municipal, county offices and the school you attended. It really is more frustrating to go though all the writing, calling and requesting the proper documents and going through the proper chanels and speaking with the right person. Once you gone through that, you can go ahead and see under which legal status you belong. What type of identification do you use. If not a drivers license they issue ID cards through the department of transportation, since one usually is required at times to show a photo ID. So with patience you can get all the information you would need. Good luck and don't get frustrated talking to people and writing (would suggest certified mail). If you live near the city you were living in, just a couple of trips to all their courthouses and schools should get things done. Courthouses have public records that you can request to view. The library is another source for information. People have been able to trace back 4 generations of family, so you have 12 years, not too much inquiring and investigating. Bye-bye.
