Marriage question
I'm getting married in 2 months. I'm a naturalized citizen, but my wife has never been outside of India. What should I do to bring her back to the U.S. with me?
Thank you,
Tony

I'd start by reading the State Department web site: Spouse and Fiance(e) of an American Citizen
Congratulations!

As a Russian citizen who married an American here is what we went through.
Phone calls and letter exchange which we had to keep records for immigration processing.
Fred had to make a trip over to Moscow in order to prove that we had met ,he also made another trip to propose which is another story
Go to U.S Embassy for medical and interview .
Move to the U.S.
Get married
Another round of paperwork and interview with immigration .
Get green card and wait again to begin the process of applying for citizenship.
The big day arrives -citizenship.
It is a process which does take some time to complete.

Start the proceedings for a green card application or she can enter on a tourist visa then you can adjust her status once she is here.
Keep copies of everything and make sure she has all the important paperwork before she leaves India as it's harder to get a hold of it once she has left.
Good luck.
