I have a green card and recently got married. How do I bring my wife to the U.S.?

Answer

A GC holder can file a family-based petition for his or her spouse. These petitions fall under the FB2A category, so there is a bit of a backlog in visa availability. There typically is no way around that until the GC holder becomes a U.S. citizen. (18.Jan.2016)
