As soon as you have been married, the quickest way to get her to the US is to submit an I-130 petition on her behalf and then request for a K-3 visa on form I-129F. Ideally, requesting a K-3 visa is supposed to shorten the time that a spouse of a US citizen is required to wait overseas for a visa but it doesn't always work out that way. After she enters the country on a K-3 visa, she can submit an application for adjustment of status to complete her paperwork for a green card in the US.

It's not clear from your inquiry what your sister will do in the U.S. You may want to discuss all of the visa options for your sister including a tourist visa, work visas and Immigrant visa options with a qualified immigration attorney.
