About me:
1. I am a Green Card holder.
2. I'll be marrying someone from abroad in few months.

About her:
1. She is a B.N. and is preparing for NCLEX-RN exam.
2. She has interest to do Masters in Public Health

Options to bring her to US:
1. Green Card processing through me for which the wait time is nearly 2.5 years.
2. Green Card through NCLEX-RN which also takes 2-3 years.
3. H1B through NCLEX-RN which is a hard find.
4. Apply for F1 to study Masters in Public Health

The fastest way as I see is to apply for F1 visa. The question that I have is- If I start Green Card processing through 1 or 2, will it affect her F1 request? Or any other suggestions to make the process faster would be appreciated.
 
She clearly won’t be able to show the non-immigrant intent required for the student visa and faces imo a high likelihood of denial. Green card route is your option. I believe you can start both green card processes and go with whichever one ends up being faster. (Someone I know who did nursing-based got everything done including nclex prep and exams & visa issuance within 18 months, but that was a couple of years ago.)
