First, she'll need to apply for a conditional residency before she can come to the US. That can take several months to a year. Conditional residency will allow her to work in US. Once she's here on conditional status, you will then have a hearing about a year later to have the conditional status removed, and she will get a green card. The green card will still be conditional for three years, after which point you will need to show that you are still married and the marriage is not a sham. Then she will get a "permanent" green card. I would recommend that you speak with a lawyer who can guide you through at least the initial steps of getting her conditional residency and work permit, as it can be tricky.

Why not ask the lawyer? Especially one that practices immigration law.


?
SHE NEEDS TO GET A VISA AND APPLY FOR A JOB THEN GO TO YOUR IMMIGRATION LAWYER AND START DOING HER PAPER WORK BUT SHE MUST BE IN THE STATE LEGALLY IF NOT SHE WILL HAVE TO PAY A FINE FOR ENTERING THE STATE ILLEGALLY. THE VISA GIVES YOU TIME TO SHOW THAT SHE IS HERE AND SHE WORKS IM NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY GIVE PEOPLE THAT COME HERE WITH VISAS BUT IT'S JUST BETTER NOT TAKE THE CHANCE.

Thank you for following the rules for immigration to the united states LEGALLY. We welcome new immigrants who come to the US following the law of the land willingly. Welcome to America.
