How to get proof of my admission to the US when I lost my passport and I-94

Asked 6 months ago - San Jose, CA

I entered the US 5 years ago, and overstayed on my visit visa. Now I just got married to a US Citizen. I know I need to prove I entered the US legally. How can I do that? Who do I contact? I want to handle the process of getting the proof myself.
