I do not believe you can get a green card while living outside the states however- you have to live inside our borders to apply IIRC. Your living in Singapore will not help your case.
Sounds correct,that she would have to live inside the borders in the States for at least 6 months. I dont think that the fact we were married in Singapore and the marriage is not registered in the States should matter, provided we can provide documentation.
