I got green card two yrs back after nine years of waiting. now I have to wait for another three yrs before I get my citizenship and sponsor my fiance' or wife.
If I sponsor her now..on Green card..it takes five yrs..I am under pressure either get married...and bring her here ..or finish with it.

Is there any way I bring her here faster..she is going to apply for her visit visa..not sure if she can get it

Any advice will highly appreciated. i looked through different forums and is not much hopeful..
 
If there are other ways, no one would be waiting. It's either immigration through family or through work. Only other option is your fiance can apply for a qualified work visa - probably a long shot.
 
I would like to add my 2 cents.
My suggestion is:
1. Get F-1 (student) or H-1 (work) and then enter US.
2. Get married.
3. Waiting until you get citizenship.
4. Apply GC for your wife.
5. Happy ending :)

This raises a red flag not on immigration but on personal issues. If she's putting this kind of pressure on you... are you sure she loves you? or is she in love with the possibility of getting a green card? I'm no shrink or couple's therapist but in the context of your post it is a bit troubling. I mean, I'm sure you can show her a current visa bulletin from the state department and tell her what's going on!

The easiest way to come over would be as a full time student. Maybe to your local community college, although for the school to send her an I-20 (the form she needs to show at the consulate to get an F-1 visa) either she or you have to have money in the bank or good income showing that her expenses can be covered... and even after that, once here and married, she still won't get a GC.. you have to wait for your citizenship, like CFW suggested.

Good luck and let us know what happens!

he never said the pressure was coming from her. Of course, it's easier to blame the woman! Perhaps, he is just thinking - heck, it's easier to find a new wife who is already here, then wait for three years for the one back home and go through all the immigration hassle.

If you get married now, and you file I-130 for her, then it's going to take three-four years+ time to process docs (since you only have three years till citizenship). If you join US military, you will get your citizenship within a year.
