If they are legally married, he can petition for her and she can apply for permanent residency.

If they are engaged, there is no visa for her to stay in USA for 2 years as a fiancee. Fiancee visa is for 90 days only.

If the fiance is present in the U.S., it is critical to identify and understand her underlying immigration status. That is a pre-condition to making any decisions on the couple's next step. Please contact an immigration attorney directly. Message boards such as these do not usually investigate all the necessary circumstances in a person's case and can sometime cause mis-filings and ultimately poor results.

If she entered the US legally with a visa, then she can get married and apply for an adjustment of status (to lawful permanent residency) based on marriage to a US citizen.
