More details to this question:
I have been in the US for 8 years, since I was 16. I have never been in trouble with the law. I entered the U.S. legally and never been out of status. Now I am on OPT and I am planning to marry my girlfriend who is a US citizen. How long it will take before I can get my green card? And how long before I am able to work with no restrictions?

Your USC wife can file an I-130 petition for you and you should be able to file an I-485 application to adjust status a the same time. If there are no criminal or support issues, it could be approved in 3 to 4 months depending on where you live. You should consult an immigration attorney.
