What is the name of your state? New York

I entered the US with a F1 visa, I graduated, and before I completed my Optional Practical Training, I married my US-citizen boyfriend. This was three years ago in Chicago, IL. I began proceedings for Change of Status, and moved to New York shortly after that. Once in New York, I submitted a Change of Address to the USCIS, but the following year, when I applied for Advance Parole, I got a letter (way too late) that said that my travel permit had been denied, because my Change of Status had been denied, which I only found out then. USCIS said they tried to contact me in Chicago, but even the website kept showing that my case was pending (until the month I got that letter in New York).

I don't even know if I am legal. And I assume that I have to start the proceedings all over again in New York. Is this the case?

You need to find out what the status of your petition is and you can do that by making an appointment with the local USCIS office for an INFOPASS appointment.
