She will be able to submit a petition for you, but you cannot apply for adjustment of status until a visa is available. Further, you cannot get adjustment if you were out of status for more than 6 months before a visa was available. However if she becomes a citizen, then your time out of status will be forgiven. If she applies now, and later becomes a citizen, you will still keep your priority date when she upgrades your application. If she doesn't become a citizen it could take 10-12 years before a visa is available for you.

I agree that you should not marry any woman just so you can stay. However NYC did not say that that was his only interest in this woman.
