Hi there

I am permanent resident and I married to a non US Citizen who has a 10 year tourist visa to travel back and forth to US. My question is,

1. what kinda processing should I start for the spouse to get a LPR status?

2, Is it better to wait before I start the processing for the spouse after I get my citizenship is through that would be in two years time from now??

3. Or should I get started right away? If yes, what form do I need to file?

Any pros and cons of doing either way? and what would be the best bet in this case

Looking forward to some valuable suggestions and tips

Thank you all in Advance
I really appreciate your time on this
 
Waiting time for PR's spose to become a PR is 5 years long. So under normal circumstances, it is faster for your to become citizenship and sponsor your wife for a GC.

But if you don't care for spending money, you can start sponrosing your wife
as a PR's spouse, and when you become a citizen, withdraw that petition, and re-start sponsoring yoru wife as a citizen's spouse. This is in case for some reasons your citizenship does not go thru for whatever crazy reason.
