How can you get a domestic partner legalized?
I assume that by "legalized" you are referring to legal immigration status. The United States does not recognize domestic partnerships, whether they be between two men, two women or a man and a woman, for purposes of immigration. The US also does not recognize same-sex marriages for purpose of immigration. It is not possible to obtain a visa, green card or naturalization by virtue of domestic partnership with an American citizen.

Is a New Jersey domestic partnership the same as a New Jersey civil union?
No. Civil unions, which New Jersey still offers despite having legalized same-sex marriage, is the equivalent of marriage in that state, except that it is called a "civil union" and it is not recognized by the US federal government. Civil unions are only for same-sex couples in New Jersey. Domestic partnerships have fewer rights, no federal recognition and are available to same-sex or opposite-sex couples. Domestic partners are required to live together, but civil union partners are not required to live together. Domestic partnerships are dissolved administratively by a single form, civil unions are dissolved by divorce proceedings in a state court.
