Like others said, it’s a straighhforward process. Lawyers will just tell you what to gather which you can do yourself.
1. If your girl is planning to apply to US colleges soon, it’s better if she applies first and see if she gets F1 visa and then only go thru marriage processes later on.
2. If she is planning to apply to colleges say after a year or so, you can go ahead and marry and start i130 process. Marriage with a GC holder may affect F1 visa approval since the visa officer wouldn’t be conviced she will return back after completing the study. But she could get visa if she’s lucky. Even if she doesn’t get f1 visa, she will get immigrant visa lateron anyway provided your marriage is bonafide.
Like titosatya said, you have to consider the worst case scenario of getting her immigrant visa in around 2 years after you file i130. It could be earlier depending on how visa bulletin moves.
If you are marrying with our traditional norm, no need to worry about whether your wife gets immigrant visa or not. With ceremonial photos and other correspondence that will be communicated in two years following the marriage, getting visa is easier.
