if she can come to the US on other visa, you may marry her in the US and file immigrant petition with the USCIS. It may take about 6-8 months depending on the location to receive interview notice. If she cannot come, you can either file fiancee visa or if you marry her you can file I-130 first, after approval she will get an immigrant visa interview in her country(US Embassy). You should consult with an immigration lawyer for advise and possible representation.
