1. if the non- US citizen has a student visa
2. if the non-US citizen has a 6-month visitor visa
what paperwork do they have to file? Does the non US -citizen have to go back to their own country? Do they lose the visa status they currently have and get it replaced with something else?

The US citizen has to file a petition for resident alien on behalf of the non-citizen spouse. Each case is considered differently and the evaluation is complex and aways changing.
here is the website of an immigration law firm that posts helpful information

It doesn´t matter what type of visa the non-citizen has, as long as they are in the country legally. The US citizen will file Form I-129 "Petition for Alien Fiance" on behalf of the non-citizen, which will take about 6-9 months for approval. The non-citizen will not have to return to his/her home country unless his/her current visa expires while waiting for the petition to be approved. If the non-citizen overstays his/her current visa the fiance petition will be denied.
