I am a GC holder and was wondering if I get married to a girl who has a visitor's visa to US and apply for her green card when she comes here, can she travel abroad?
What are the implications?
Please reply asap. Thanks a lot
 
You can marry a girl and then file the adjustment of status packet. The only problem with that is since you are not a U.S. Citizen the priority date for the visa petition will become currrent in about 5 years time. (since the state department has very few visa numbers available for such petitions)

Your wife could remain in the US but she will be considered out of status as soon as her I94 date expires. If she travels outside the U.S. without proper paperwork she can be barred for 10 years.

You best bet would be to wait till you become a US Citizen or have her enter the US on her own immigration status (a student visa or a work permit).

All the best.
