If you get married, she will NOT get a green card immediately following the marriage. She might be or might not be able to become a permanent resident in the future (depending on her situation).

As a permanent resident, you can petition for her, and it will take at least a few years for the priority date to become current.

How did she come to USA - on a visa or without a visa? There are many additional issues that you need to discuss with an attorney before planning your course of actions.
