Planning to wed a non-resident

CALIFORNIA
Hello. I am a legal US resident planning to marry my Mexican girlfriend. Will she be able to get legal staying in the US as soon as I marry her? Would be better to petition her while she is still in Mexico before entering the US? In case she gets a temporary visa, can she reenter Mexico for periodical visits? If I become a citizen next year, can I lose my citizenship if I live in Mexico but work in the US? Your answers greatly appreciated.

Since you have to be a USC to apply for a K1 visa then you need to get marriage and then apply for her to either remain or come to the US. If she is currently in the US then she must have entered legally.
