Yes, 60 days after her arrival, you can petition her for U.S.legal permanent residence. See: http://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-family/green-card-immediate-relative-us-citizen.

Yes, you can. Under certain conditions, she could stay in the United States and apply for adjustment of status or can go back to Jamaica and wait for consular processing there. If you need help with preparing and filing a petition or have more questions, please contact me at 212-962-0616. I would be happy to assist you. Have a nice evening.
