If you are a US citizen, you can marry a foreigner here in the US traveling on a visa either before or after their period of authorized stay expires. Marriage to a US citizen waives any bar for an overstay. You should, however, file for adjustment of status right away to place the immigrant in a legal status (the pending adjustment application is a legal status).
