Yes were living together

Did you really said her tourist visa has expired!!!

she is living illegally in US, take note of the consequences before you make the slightest error. Besides, she will have to go back to her country before her application is processed, and take note of the fact that she will be noted at POE as someone who lived illegally, consequently it can be detrimental for her to get immigration. Hey, don't be scared, I m just bringing out the worst possible scenario so that you can figure a way out. Good luck!

Once you get your citizenship you can file for your wife's AOS and get her greencard, you really do not need to wait any period of time before filing. Overstays on tourist visas are forgiven with marriage to a US citizen. Follow the guide here and you should be fine. http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

Good Luck!
