Unless you are a U.S. citizen, she will not qualify under the Immediate Relative category. Therefore, she will not be able to get her greencard right away, nor will she gain any type of legal status by marrying you at this point.
She should find a way to change to another non-immigrant visa status to be able to remain legally in the U.S. until you become a U.S. citizen.
