I believe that you are out of luck, I am fairly certain you have to be a US citizen to petition for a spousal/fiance visa. However if you are on a permanent residence because of work, there may be a way your company would sponser you a spousal visa.

You cannot even petition for a fiance until you are a citizen. You can petition for a CR1 visa by filing an I-130 but the wait for a permanent resident's petition is longer than your wait for citizenship. Your petition would just sit there until you became a citizen and filed to "upgrade" the petition.

So even if the OP married his fiancee, he would still be in for a long wait for the spouse visa?

Yes, a minimum of 4.5 years or "longer than waiting for citizenship".

After three years, she can come to the states to wait for the approval.

No, she can't. Unless he files for a fiance visa once he becomes a citizen. You cannot just "come and wait".

Please do not pass out information that is wrong. It is confusing to the OP, and annoying to ppl trying to give legit and correct info
