If you are GC holder and want to sponsor your spouse for a GC, the waiting time is nearly five years before the case will get any processing. After that it will be however long it takes them to process which could range anywhere from 6 months to a couple of years depending on the case.


Good Luck!

If you got married before the green card approval, you have a process called follow to join which will allow your wife to get green card in a matter of months. But if you married AFTER you got your green card, then it's very looooooooong time like StonedAnt said.

Jefkorn,

Do you (or anyone else) know if there is any expiration to the follow-to-join method?

In other words, what's the longest a person can go after receiving their GC before they no longer can use the follow-to-join?


Thanks,

You may want to confirm this at http://forums.immigration.com/showthread.php?t=96693&page=138 but I think there's no time limit as to when to apply for follow to join for derivative beneficiaries as long as the marriage was entered into before the approval of permanent residence.
