It depends. If your spouse-to-be entered the country legally, after you get married, you submit an app to obtain his (her) green card using form I-130, plus I-485 (to adjust status), I-765 (employment authorization) and so on.
If he is in another country, you can marry him abroad and come back to the US to apply for his green card (I-130), or you may petition for him as fiancee (I-129F).
After being a permanent resident for 3 years (married to a US citizen) he can be elegible for citizenship.
Go to the immigration website for further information.

Well it all depends from what country they are.. My case I'm born citizen my husband is from El Salvador, but lives here. We have been married for over 2 years. Right now he is protected under Temporary Protection Statues. We went to an attorney and he told us the only way that my husband can become a resident is if he goes back to El Salvador and then petition him to come here, also he would have get petitions and ask for forgiveness for him entering the country illegally. So it is a very hard process and it really doesn't matter how long you have been married.. It still works the same way. I know it sucks.. But good Luck...

I think if youre a citizen and you stay married for 2 or 3 years he's eligible for citizenship.

If you´re not married yet, you need to file Form I-129, Petition for Alien Fiance to get your fiance into the country legally.
