Yes, that's the way to do it.

It should be a relatively simple process, assuming she's otherwise eligible for admission.

Re: H1B Visa and Getting married

This matter is complex and you should not try to do it yourself so you should get an attorney to discuss your options. If you are located in Southern California, you can email me your contact info, so we can discuss your particular situation. There is no charge for consultation.
