Bringing my wife after marriage

[raju_gentleman]

Hi All,

I am a married GC holder and my wife is currently in India.
I am soon going to become eligible for applying for US citizenship so wanted to know a couple of things

1. How much time does it take to get a US passport
2. Once I become the citizen then what is the procedure to bring my wife here immediately.. (How soon can she come)

Thanks in advance
Raju

1) I cant answer this question as I haven't undergone citizenship yet- though Im sure someone will be along with more experience.

2) Once you are a citizen you are eligible to sponsor your wife to come and join using either the K3 or the IR/CR 1 visa. This will take approx 8-10 months.
