Can a person apply for a green card if they entered the U.S. illegally but later married a U.S. citizen?

Yes, but adjustment of status is not available if they entered without inspection.

They would likely need to leave the U.S. and apply through consular processing.

A waiver of unlawful presence (I-601A) may be required to overcome reentry bars.

Certain protections (like under INA §245(i)) may apply if they had a petition filed before April 30, 2001.
