Re: how long it takes to bring my wife
Unfortunately, with the quota backlogs, it will take more than 5 years after you petition for your wife for her to be able to immigrate. Even if you become a citizen as soon as you are eligible, you won't be able to cut out very much time in this process. Unless the V visa law is somehow extended by Congress or, unless your future wife qualifies for a nonimmigrant visa independently, there isn't much you can do about this situation.

There are a few different procedures you may opt for in order to bring your wife to the U.S (time will vary depending on which one you choose). You should contact our office at (732) 985-1310 and we will be able to discuss your options.

Re: how long it takes to bring my wife
It would take about five years from the time of filing in order for her to arrive. You may also want to consider Consular processing in Ethiopia. Let me know if you have any additional questions.
