Bringing wife to US as green card holder?

Hi i have a few questions,

I'm a green card holder,in 26month i will be eligible to be a US citizen,i got married two months ago

1-If i request a green card for her right now (while i am a green card holder) and i stay in US for 26months and become a US citizen and then request again to bring my wife in US ( while i am a US citizen that time) is it going to make the process of bringing her here faster or not?

2-how long does it take for a green card holder to bring her wife in US?

3-is it legal or possible to get her a student visa while she is studying she become a green card holder?

what is the best way and fastest way to bring her in US ?!

If you wait until you become a naturalized US Citizen then you can petition for your wife as an immediate relative which does not have the same wait time as the preference categories. Your post brings up some important issues. Your case needs to be fully evaluated by an immigration lawyer who can answer each one for you.
