IF she is already in the US, you just get married and then petition for her green card, assuming she is in the US lawfully or at least entered the US lawfully.

You mean what papers will she need. You start with an i-130 form. If she entered lawfully, you can file the i-485 concurrently. Get an attorney in order to do it right.

The paperwork you would have to file consists of I-130 Petition, I-485 application, I-765 application, I-131 Application, and supporting documents, including Form I-864. No lesser alternatives. And if it were easy, half of the immigration lawyers would be out of work.

It is more than just "paperwork." Filing for a spouse is an extremely complicated process. If you are serious about this you will need to retain an immigration attorney.

If you are citizen and she entered the US with inspection, you can file the I-130 and she can adjust status here by filing the I-485, assuming there are no other issues.
