We have a Jamaica marriage certificate but never registered it in the US AND we never got a marriage license but we were still able to get married in Jamaica are we legally married in the US?

If the marriage was legal in Jamaica and registered there, then, yes, you are probably legally married in the U.S. However, you need to see a lawyer to make sure that that really is the case where you live. It isn't an issue you should mess around with. Go see a lawyer tomorrow.
