Just my opinion here.

I think you'll be able to get OPT without problems. Getting a working visa could be problematic, but when you apply for it you will have to use a lawyer anyway so follow his advice. I wouldn't expect that they won't let you get a marriage based green card just because you worked illegally at some point. Paying taxes is a plus in your situation.

I would skip the working visa part and go directly for a marriage green card. But consult a lawyer first.
