Call the British embassy and make inquiry about your possible qualifications. This is not a matter of US immigration law.
The marriage will take place in Ukraine. We anticipate this to be early next year. She also has two children under the age of 18 that I eventually would be adopting.
You can sponsor her for a fiancé visa. If you’ve met already, you wouldn’t have to travel there to get married. Once her k fiancé visa is approved she and her 2 kids could travel here. You’d need to marry within 90 days then she and the kids could adjust status to obtain green cards.... Read more »

If you’re a US citizen and she entered the US legally she can adjust status despite the overstay. More information needed.
The short answer is yes IF when you entered the US, your intent was to visit but then later that changed to intending to marry due to a change in circumstances. Don’t get married prior to 90 days since entry.
I am not sure about the appropriate paperwork, and what else he needs to do from his side, since the Indian Embassy is closed?
