Marriage after getting GC with a girl from India

[CaliGuy]

Hi,

I recently got my GC and I am not married. I am planning to get married in a couple of months. The girls is in India. Does anyone have any idea the procedure to bring wife here? how long does it take? what kind of visa is reqd?

Please provide me some information or direct me to it.

Thanks

Caliguy

You have to opt for family-based consular processing for her. It takes more than five years to go thru the whole processing/waiting. She won't be eligible for any depedent visa. However, she can come to USA in her own with dual-intent non-immigrant visa (like H1/L1).

You can get a brief outline of the process from immihelp.com site:
