She could file for a k1 visa now in which case she will get married within 90days of her next us trip post visa approval

Or she could get married now and then file for a CR1

Either way she would need to return home prior to her time expiring on her visit visa and she would need to be in her country for the medical and interview

The CR1 is overall cheaper than a k1 and it means she will be able to work upon arrival. The k1 is currently processing a tad faster than cr1.

If she did not intend to stay when she first got here, she can adjust status and remain in the USA after nher marriage (assuming the husband-to-be is a USC ). See this Guide: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2

I have a friend from the former soviet union in the states on a B2 . She wants to get married here and move forward here . what are next concrete steps to take in such a situation . she only has 3 months left on her B2 (originally she had 6)

If she is in the US she can get married and stay . If it is a legit marriage she will get her greencard in 3 months and she won't have to go back to " the former soviet union " . Anybody can apply to adjust status from tourist visa if she can prove that marriage was done in good faith and that she did not enter the country with the intent to get married.
