About:Chinese Consulate in San Francisco

I have known a woman in China for one year now. We have talked about getting married now. I'm not sure what the procedure is. Paper work is what sounds confusing to me.
1.I must fill out a proof of single status application, take this to a notary with my proof of divorce. Have this notarized.
Do I take this paper work to Embassy here or China?
Once we are married in China, will she be able to come back to U.S. with me or is there more paper work?
I have told here to start paper work for her passport and that once we are married she can obtain Visa.
Is this the best way to handle this situation?
