An American citizen has the right to petition for green card for relatives. Once they are married and have their papers ready the US citizen can petition for spouse's green card. Subsequently the kid can also become US citizen or green card depending on the support papers which can be shown for either of them. During the stay in US its very important for immigrant to have papers for a legal and authorized stay in US.

If you are a great granddaughter of an immigrant what generation American are you?

Your great grandparent would be the immigrant. Their child (your grandparent) would be American born, so they would be 1st generation American. Their child (your parent) would be American born and 2nd generation. So you would be 3rd generation American. However, if your immigrant great grandparent arrived in America as a adult with children, as many did, then your grandparent might also be an immigrant and you would be the second generation born in America.
