You should be fine as long as you're otherwise admissible to permanent residence. If all is in order, you will receive an alien registration ("green") card.

The above is information and not legal advice. It doesn't establish an attorney client relationship. For further information, feel free to contact me at 818 609 1953 or [email protected].

As long as you entered legally and merely overstayed, you may marry your fiancee and apply for permanent residence through the adjustment of status process.
