1. Can it be done there or does it need to be done here?

You can marry there or here.

2. Does she become a US citizen right away

No. We would need to do the proper paperwork with the Immigration Service and Department of State. It will take approximately 10-12 months to bring her here.

3. Is there legal worries about her coming to the US?

Not if the paperwork is done properly.
