How long she can stay depends on how she entered the country. She does not have to get a green card, but if she does not she will be here illegally, subject to deportation and unable to work or drive legally. There can be many obstacles to obtaining a green card, even through marriage.

The easiest way to check if one knows the “A” or alien registration number of the individual is to call the immigration court line at 1-800-898-7180. After moving through the prompts, the automated system will inform you whether there is information on the individual or not. If no information, that usually means that the person does not have a case involving removability in the immigration courts. If the individual has an upcoming court date, it will give the date and place of hearing. If there has been a disposition, it will so state and with another prompt say whether there have been any further administrative appeals or motions along with their dispositions or whether they are still pending.
