My wife is from mexico, lived here since she was 13, and still does not even have residency status. Americas immigration sysytem sucks.
If going to school (you must be full time to apply) you will need to enter on a F1 Status Visa, or FVISA
Here are the forms she will need once in the US:
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis
Once in the United States, she will most likely want to file form I-485 as soon as possible,(Application To Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) (they just raised the cost to $1,010)...
Here are some sites to point you in the right direction:
