File for her as soon as she gets here! Otherwise, your green card will be approved, and then how will you bring her to the US later? It's very difficult to file an I-485 for a wife who is still living in India and only here a few weeks.

A good idea might be to file for consulate processing instead. Then you can go to India, meet with her, and come back to the US together with green cards.
