How a LPR gets the girlfriend come to USA???

I'm a LPR and I have a girlfriend in China, could anyone offer solutions on how to get her come to the USA to join me? Thanks a lot in advance!

The possible solutions are as below but neither one is easy:
[Not married now, then she has a chance to apply visa by herself]
1. F1 visa through TOEFL/GRE (but it's hard a single woman who is working and approaching 30 years old to get a F1 visa)
2. B1 visa (when she arrives in USA we can get married and file her I-485 right away so that she can stay in US and wait for green card)
3. L1/H1 visa (try to transfer her job to the US office of her employer which is a US company, but it's hard to pursuade her boss for an approval)

[Married now, then she couldn't come to USA before she obtain her LPR through me. Maybe I'm wrong on this?]
4. LPR (when I obtain my citizenship in USA which is 2.5 years away from now I can apply LPR for her, but it's too long to wait. To apply her LPR now based on my LPR will hold her from coming to the US for 6~7 years due to the big backlog)

So I don't know when we should get married and how to move her to the USA. Please help!!! Thank you so much!

This is not possible, because you are not a US citizen. She'll have to wait around 5 years to file for AOS. So it's one less option.... sorry :)
 
You best option is wait until you get your USC then married her.

Note: if she try to get F1, she has to maintain her status as FT student otherwise the univ will report her to USCIS.

H1 or L1 usually take a while.
 
Just a word of caution, based on the title of your post... You can't really MAKE her come to the US, unless she wants to..... :) Sorry, for the PJ; just kidding, of course!
