Debary, FL asked in Immigration Law for Florida

Q: Hello. I am an American citizen and would like to marry my girlfriend who is a foreigner.

She’s here on a tourist visa which expires next August. would it be too risky to get married and apply for the adjustment of status right away within this short time? I have to mention as well that I was previously married and filed for adjustment of status for my ex wife (which went on successfully).
