More details to this question:
I met a girl from Brazil and she came here on a 6 moth VISA. She has been here a little over a year now and is no longer legal. If we got married would she be denied citizenship because she did not leave the United States when she should have? How long would the process take to be approved? What are the chances of her being a citizen be for getting approved?

Are you a US citizen? If so and she entered the country legally then yes you can sponsor her for her green card despite that she is currently out of status. However if she exits the country before she becomes a permanent resident she may not be able to get back in. There are many forms and documents to prepare and file as well as a years long process of waiting. Consider working with an attorney to represent you from start to finish. Some of us including me charge a very affordable flat. Counsel anywhere in the USA can represent you.
