Due to stricter Immigration enforcement it is no longer a simple matter for a US citizen to marry a foreign national regardless of his or her status within the US. In the majority of US states, the foreign national must have a valid ID, Social Security number, birth certificate and proof of legal status before he or she will be allowed to marry. In the few states that do not require all of the aforementioned documents the foreign national may be allowed to marry with just a valid ID and a birth certificate. Regardless of such, any information obtained by state officials concerning a possible illegal immigrant is forwarded to the Division of Homeland Security and ICE.

Is a Birth Certificate the same as a Certificate of Naturalization?

No. A birth certificate is issued after you are born, usually in the city and state where the birth took place. Barack Obama's birth was recorded in Honolulu, Hawaii, for example. A certificate of naturalization is provided when a person who is an immigrant decides to become a citizen, passes the tests and takes the oath. My maternal grandfather was born and raised in Lithuania, for example; but when he emigrated and moved to America, he decided he wanted to be a U.S. citizen, and he was issued a certificate of naturalization. A naturalized citizen of the United States is one who has become a citizen, after being born in another country. A "natural born citizen," on the other hand, is one who was born in the United States and did not come here from another country.

No, she is not. She will be allowed to remain in the US with her spouse and children, but she will have to apply for citizenship separate from her marriage. The US citizen REMAINS a US citizen. The immigrant remains an immigrant and must follow the legal path to resident immigrant status, and from there to citizenship. Marriage is not a free pass to residency or citizenship.
