She can get green card based on the marriage;
there are two ways;
1. She comes to US on her B1 visa, they get married, she goes back to mexico.
Husband files petition ( I-130) for her in USA, she gets immigrant visa in mexico in a few months.
2. She comes to US on her B1 visa, they get married, husband files I-130 and AOS( adjustment
of status) and she adjusts to green card in a few months.
Option 1 is very safe.
Option 2 ; there is a risk. If the officer thinks she had intention to marry when she came on B1,
they can deny . Because then it is violation of B1 terms. Also because, they are basically from differrent cultures, they can suspect marriage of convenience.
I suggest go with option 1; the right way.
