If you are going to get married anyway best to bring it forward. Get married in her country - a lot easier than sorting it out in the UK.
Thereafter it is a fairly simple matter of a spouse visa application. The test you mention is when she wants ILR etc. None at the moment.
What you need is to be able to show accommodation and maintenance - have a look at the UKBA web site. If you have a reasonable salary and a house big enough to accommodate you both at the moment you are onto a winner. Does not matter if it is a rented or mortgaged house, you could even stay in your parent’s house as long as you have sole occupancy of a single room.
When does her IGS run out?
