Immigration Site

i recently moved from australia 7 months ago via the dv lottery. i have been with my girl almost 3 yrs now and she 1st came over for 2 months a week after i got here. she went home back to australia for 10 weeks then came over for another 3 moths and has now been back in aust for 2 weeks. main reason was to see if she liked it here b4 she decided she could be away from friends and family for long periods of time and it not to effect our relationship. she has now decided that she would like to relocated here with me hence the above question. she applied for the dv lottery in november but thats probably a long shot. what is going to be the quickest and most effective non damaging to our relationship way to get her a greencard? would she be able to apply for a working visa, we get married here in the usa then hopefully her greencard via marriage is approved before the work visa needs to be renewed? i read somewhere that marriage visas are being approved within 6 months these days since the financial crisis and ppl turning there back on moving to to the usa because of it? would you guys recommend seeing a immigration lawyer or is it something you can file yourself? if its quicker to process id prefer to pay a bit more to get her here sooner. also does it make a difference that im only a green card holder not a usa citizen?

thanx in advance for reading and your replies

If you apply for her GC after she is in usa, It will take about 2-3 years before she gets her GC. First of all you guys should get married, then file for her GC.

mite be a stupid question but does she need to revisit the usa to get married or we can just do the paper work from seperate countries? also would they renew a work visa for someone thats applied for a green card via marriage? just trying to access all my options. mite be easier to be apart for 6 mths if thats all it takes time wise to get a gc via marriage approved from outside the usa.

Didnt you ask this a few months ago?
