Legal Question in Immigration Law in Massachusetts

Yes, you can file a petition when you are married. However, your spouse is not going to be eligible for adjustment of status immediately if you are not a US citizen. If your spouse is in the USA and came lawfully on a visa, they might be able to adjust status when you are a US citizen. If they are in a long-term non-immigrant status, they might be able to adjust status even while you are a resident but when a priority date is current.
