If she is a U.S. citizen, she can petition you for a green card.

If you entered the US lawfully, yes you can. If you entered the US unlawfully, under the current immigration laws, you will not be able to legalize your status within the US.

If you are already in the US and have not been inspected, you should consult with an immigration attorney. There are several issues to look at.

Most likely you will be able to get your permanent resident status through your marriage, but the exact process and potential complications will depend on the specific facts of your case. The most important issue is whether you came in with valid papers or entered illegally.

You can apply for permanent resident status. The application process depends on whether you are already in the US and entered the country lawfully. You should consult with an immigration attorney for details.
