Depends. . . if he entered on the visa and overstayed and it still here in the states, then they can get married and then file the I-130/I-485 packet just like you did. As long as there is no order of deportation and they can prove a valid relationship, the overstay is forgiven after marriage to a U.S. Citizen.

If he was outside the U.S. they would have to file a waiver, which would add a considerable amount of time to the processing.

If he is in the U.S. the MOST IMPORTANT THING is that he not leave the U.S. while his paperwork is processing. If he exits the country he incurs a 10 year ban that they would have to file a waiver for.
