Marriage after overstay, green card

Hello. I entered the country previously on a tourist visa to meet my American boyfriend (now husband). My boyfriend became sick with an internal disease and while I was taking care of him, his visa expired and he overstayed. We later married in the U.S. and my husband is now healthy and he has a stable income. I have never worked in the US. I am applying for a green card, but I am paroling ？ because of my overstay and I think I will have to go back to the US Embassy in Japan for an interview.
I am quite anxious because Trump will be president for a period of time. I am worried that I will not be able to re-enter Japan ？ if I go back to Japan because of the alternative situation due to Trump being tough on immigrants.
I would appreciate your advice or anyone with similar experiences. Sorry for the rambling.

The lack of a visa makes them illegal.

It was ok ！ I overstayed only a short time and got married right away, so they said I just need to go through the process of changing my status.
It's the end of the year and I'm happy that I'm going to get a green card.
Thank you ！

I overstayed and got my green card last year. It took 2 years and 9 months. I got married right after I overstayed and processed for my green card, but when it came time for my interview, I was told "TOKYO" and thought that I could not come back to the US once I left （ I had a 1 year old son, so I was in trouble ） I spent months asking Japan and US agencies if I could have my interview in the US, but they kept asking me to come back. I had been inquiring for months about interviewing in the U.S. and Japan, but I was kept inundated with inquiries. I was passed the period of time without getting an interview. I hired a lawyer and explained the situation to him, and he told me that there was no problem （ and that he had a special route to contact the immigration office ） I wrote various application documents again and waited. Six months from there, I suddenly received a 10-year green card at home. I did not have an interview. Personally, I recommend you to hire a lawyer because I think it is the safest and fastest way. I wish you to get your green card safely ！ ！ ！ I know how you feel now.

Did you really receive a GC with a 10 year expiration date ？
Do you think the first people to get a GC, including me, received a 2 year one?

Yes, the card expires in 10 years and I checked with my lawyer and he said it is a 10 year card.
