The basic rule is, a foreign national who is unlawfully present in the US must return to their country of origin and apply for reentry under the established USCIS regulations. Exceptions are made depending upon the individual's circumstances. Please visit the official USCIS website for specific information.

Yes. A same-sex spouse can sponsor a foreigner for legal residency.

If you entered legally but overstayed your visa, then the process is much easier.
