If your girlfriend is a US citizen and you plan to marry, she can either marry you and petition for you as a spouse or petition you for a fiance visa so that you can enter the US and then get married and apply for a green card. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or how I can be of further assistance to you in this matter.

The girlfriend can sponsor you for a fiance visa from India, or, the girlfriend can meet you in India or elsewhere to marry you and then file papers with Homeland Security to get you lawful permanent residence status in the USA.

You may apply for a fiance visa (K-1 visa). Requirements are listed in the U.S. Immigration Service website (http://www.uscis.gov/family/family-us-citizens/fiancee-visa/fiancee-visas), but it would be advisable to retain an attorney as you may find that the process is complex and lengthy if not properly filed.
