Can anyone point me in the right direction on where to start to get my wife to be a citizen in the U.S.? Obviously, we're married. I am a natural born citizen and she was born in Mexico but currently resides in the U.S. She has a U-Visa and her military dependent ID and currently on my page 2 in PSD. Does anyone know where I should go to start the citizenship process? The best and if possible, low cost way.

yea she has a U-VISA

So her having a U-visa, that has a social security number has nothing to do with her being a permanent resident?

She can get PR status through a U after 3 years I think but no doubt easier to adjust on the basis of her marriage to you.

No being in the USA because of a U-visa is not the same as being a permanent resident. She qualifies to become a permanent residence off of marriage to you or being in the USA on a U-visa for at least 3 years continuously.
