It might, depending upon the exact circumstances of your case and your jurisdiction. USC's often are able to file for spouses who have overstayed or have no status in the US and are just fine. However to determine if this applies for your case, please see a competent immigration attorney in your area!

It will not get denied because he overstayed his visa if you are a citizen. However, there are a myriad of other reasons a petition could be rejected. You should consult with an immigration attorney.
