The easiest way to go is for her to request a fiance visa. Because she travels on a B2 visa (I'm guessing) there might be question of "duel intent" which can hamper things.

Request a K-1 for her, and when she comes over, file for I-130 and I-485 for her GC :)


*I-130 Petition For Alien Relative

*I-485 Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status
This application asks the USCIS to adjust their status to a US permanent resident (i.e. greencard status).
