You won't be eligible for citizenship for several years after becoming a green card holder.

Are you marrying for love or for a green card? Your first statement wasn't too clear.

You'll get more responses once you turn off your caps lock..

If you two really want to get married for the right reasons (which was a bit unclear based on your first post, but maybe the sincerity of your plans just got lost in translation), then you will be doing the concurrent filing of forms I-130 and I-485. There's a guide for that here on VJ, and you can download those forms and their detailed instructions from uscis website. You'll need to marry first before filing anything, and after that submit those forms and all the supportive documentation along with them, including medical paperwork, proof of your relationship, and an affidavit of support that shows she can support you financially if needed. If she cannot meet the income requirements to support you, you'll need to find an additional person who is willing to submit the affidavit for you.

I'd start reading the forms and instructions and guides here on VJ, get familiar with those first, and then after reading through ALL of them, if you still have questions, you can ask people here for more information.
