Permanent resident married to foreign spouse

I am trying to find some information for my friend.

He is a permanent resident (Turkish) and his fiance is in Turkey.

If they marry and he petitions for her to come to USA, what is the average time

that it will take before she enters the States?

I'm a US Citizen married to Turkish man, but he will be here in USA with me

after 6 months of filing the petition.

But my friend and I are wondering how long it would take for his future wife

to come to USA.

Anyone on this forum followed that process?

Thanks,

Dayna

Please refer to National Visa bulletin on state.gov site. As the wife of permanent resident is not eligible for an immediate visa number it falls in one of the categories with numerical limit on the number of visas issued per year. Usually it takes 3-4 years for the process to be completed (not certain).

Hope that helps
