I had a friend come over to visit from another country and he's been in the U.S. for 3 1/2 months.?

We ended up falling for each other so we got married. But since he came here on a visitor's visa could he just apply for citizenship or a permanent resident? Please help.

Answer:
He will probably have to go home and apply for a visa.
You should have applied for an extension since tourist/visitor
are only for 90 days.
Look for more info at the link below.
What country is he from?
You need to apply for him.
Find a good immigration lawyer and they'll assist you with this.
If he tries to apply on his own, the process can take longer and he may or may not be approved since he'll have no way of showing he can provide for himself financially.
By you applying on his behalf as his wife, your earnings will vouch for him and they will view that as his means for survival here for the time being. Another thing that could increase his chances of approval is if he is guaranteed a job here upon approval.

Hope this helps!
Yes, you need to file the following forms, and all the supporting documents, with the Citizenship and Immigration Service.

I-130 Petition for alien family member (spouse)
I-864 Affidavit of support
I-485 Request for adjustment of status
I-765 Application for employment authorization

You can find the forms here..

He does not need to go home since he entered the country legally.
