What are the rights and restrictions of a Brazillian spouse married to an American?

Can your new spouse get a job, go to college, drive, etc......What are the rights and restrictions of a Brazillian spouse married to an American?
Once the Brazilian is married to the American, the couple can apply for her green card. While the green card is pending, the Brazilian can ask for a work authorization card. Once she gets it, she can get a social security # and start working while waiting for green card. I believe it's pretty much the same for school, but she will probably have to pay the same tuition as a foreign student. Only green card holders and U.S. citizens are eligble for student aid.
