Yes, you can apply for a green card if you marry a green card holder, but depending on the visa bulletin movements you may have to wait anywhere from a few months to a couple of years to be eligible to enter the last stage, adjustment of status. If your F-1 status runs out before then, you'll have to leave the US and pursue the green card abroad through a US consulate.
Her bisexuality means she would be willing to marry either sex, so that should not be an issue.

Can you please tell me what will i have to do step by step and explain each step,i am kind of dump in this )) Thanks again!!
I think that's an unfair question as it involves a lot of information for any of the more knowledgeable forum members to type out.
I think you should research this site (and others) and it will yield results or speak to an attorney who can guide you.
Just to ask for a detailed step by step guide is not likely to happen.
The information is there for most circumstances, you just have to find it.

I'm oversimplifying a bit, but the basics of it are:
1. Your spouse files I-130 to initiate the process.
2. When the F2A category in the visa bulletin crosses your priority date (i.e. the date the I-130 was received by USCIS), which could take anywhere from immediately to more than 2 years, if you are still in the US legally you would file I-485 and related forms. Post #4 of the "Do it Yourself" thread has more details; see http://forums.immigration.com/showt...een-Card-Do-it-Yourself&p=1975217#post1975217
The problem is that if your F-1 status (including the 60-day grace period) runs out before you're eligible for step 2, you'd have to leave the US and follow up later with the US consulate in your country.
