You can get legally married anytime. Your wife can also sponsor you through the filing of an immigrant petition. However, you cannot file for adjustment of status until your wife becomes a U.S. citizen since you have violated your nonimmigrant visa status. We have additional information here: www.h1b1.com/sponsor.htm

Hello:
Since you entered the U.S. legally, once she becomes a U.S. Citizen, you will be able to apply for the adjustment and marriage petition if it is done properly.
