I spent the summer in India, where I had a marriage ceremony with my now-husband. Only now have I come to know this was a legal marriage. We applied for a marriage certificate but it was not granted due to my return flight and I had to be there to sign the certificate when it was granted after 30 days.

Now I am legally married with no documentation. Is there ANY way to obtain this certificate and remain in the U.S.?

After my husband and I got married, we went to Court to get the marriage certificates, which was included in all documentation.

I believe both you and your husband must go to Court in India to have court marriage. This means making another visit to India.
