5 yrs from when you received permanent GC.

You have to keep residency in the US to not loose you permanent residency status.

Then add the time for the process to be approved.

What you need is. Form I-130 with money order or a check of 420 $. Two G-325A forms one for you and one for your spouse Birth certificate of your spouse with translation. Copy of marriage certificate and a copy of translation Two passport photos of your spouse. A copy of both sides of your Green card ..

So what im suppose to do and what do u mean by can of worm and been with my ex wife for 3 years and i have a lot of recording in my phone my ex wife yalling all the time at me and try to make me christian and belive in jesus

Recording some one without their consent is another crime- At least in state of Texas.

First thing first:- Just file I-130. I am afraid Service Center will not approve your I-130. They will forward your I-130 to Local office for stand alone I-130 interview.

Usually it takes 12 months to get interview for stand alone I-130 @ your local office. Local offices don't publish the processing time for these forms, Only lawyer has access to those dates. Well, after the case has been transferred from Service Center. So you are looking at around 18 months ( 5 months @ Service Center plus 12-13 months @ local office) till your I-130 gets approved. At your interview, be ready to tell about your previous and current relationship. After they approve your I-130 that's another 8 to 10 months..

So if you file Tomorrow, You are looking @ around 2.5 to 3 years till your wife is here..

Thanks,

GoodLuck
