Hello I am new here I am a practicing Catholic and so is my husband unfortunately I have immigration paper pending and could not get married legally so I went to see my priest antd explained everything to him and he said he would give us a blessing so that he wouldn’t have to document it my question is can I receive holy communion being that I CAN’T get married legally. We went to church and said our vows and everything.

It’s a good thing that you’re talking to your priest about this. But please understand that your situation is very personal, and even though we want to help, the posters here just can’t answer your question. Please ask your priest that question. You might get some very wrong answers here which do not apply to your individual situation. Only your priest can answer you.
 
Your Priest is the only person who can give you an answer you can trust on what sounds like a complex situation.

I second what Father David wrote here. While there are well-meaning people here, each situation is unique and many other details need to be be evaluated in order to answer your question. You really do need the personal and confidential advice from your priest. Comments from an anonymous internet forum should not be trusted in such a matter.

I will add that I am glad you are trying to determine if you are in a correct state to be worthy of receiving Holy Communion. Some people do not give it a second thought. Good for you for not following that poor example.
 
Thank you for your postings you all are right I will need to visit my priest.
