Speaking to her now, seems like the J1 visa could be my best bet, I can have a word with her father to see what my chances are like soon.

Marriage may be a possibility, however she's worried that they may investigate, because I'll be marrying her not long after she's got her citizenship, and she's worried that they'll think i'm just marrying her to get into the country.

That won't be the case...she should not worry about that.

What is her basis for applying for US citizenship? Her father and she have green cards...is he also applying for US citizenship?

Just the past year. Okay, and no her father isn't applying for it either.

Spending a year or more outside the USA resets the clock for naturalization. She should read up on it at www.uscis.gov. Look up the "USCIS Guide to Naturalization".

So she's going to be applying based on being a US PR for 5 years, when the time comes?
