Yes, marriage to a U.S. Citizen will cure the time she spent out of status and afford her the ability to accept employment.

Marriage to a US citizen provides a basis for obtaining lawful permanent resident status, including a work permit pending that application, but the marriage must be bona fide, not just for immigration purposes.

Marriage is a possibility and will help her obtain residency and work authorization. She will be able to adjust her status as an immediate relative not subject to the quota.

However, the marriage has to be entered into for legitimate reasons and with the requisite intent. It cannot be entered into for immigration reasons.

You may call 214-526-6688 for a detailed explanation of this.
