First, hire an immigration lawyer to advise and represent you. Next, an inquiry has to be made concerning the status of the I-751.

We can't afford the legal fees. I did some research, and it said on a site that a lawyer is not needed. I have printed off all the necessary paperwork and she has already done her immigration physical. Can we send this in with the money order needed?

Hard to answer without knowing her history. Sounds okay. But I would recommend that you consult with an immigration lawyer to prepare you two for the format & procedures for your interview/examination appointment with USCIS.
