How the process proceeds is determined on what type of visa she used and when you can naturalize (i.e. how long you've had your green card and if you're otherwise eligible). Best to hire a lawyer to coordinate all of this and provide you with legal counsel throughout.

Until & unless you become a U.S. citizen, she will not be able to adjust status (with unlawful presence) based on marriage to a LPR.
