It depends on the legal alien current status, whether she in US with a non-immigrant visa, student visa, or immigrant visa. However, in general, she can apply for a change of status from her current status to permanent resident status. The form can be download from uscis website. Usually within 2-3 months from the date the case filed, the applicant will receive a temporary authorization card, which will allowed her to work, regardless her case approved, pending or denied. And in most cases, within 6 months - 1 year, she'll receive her permanent resident card, if approved.
