For one, there is no I-485 for consular processing. For her to get an immigrant visa,
you have to be married before you enter the US with your immigrant visa. Your lawyer
probably knows the exact procedure. AFAIK, it is called "follow to join". If you
marry after you have your GC, you are looking at a 5-6 year waiting time for her
(family category 2a).
