greencard process for a spouse of US citizen

[tylerkate]

Hello,

My fiancee is a US citizen and I am an indian citizen. In a few months, our wedding in scheduled in india.
I would like to know which dependent visa should i apply for?
I see there are various options for applying for i-130 ( from US or outside US ) .
If i apply away from US - what would be the approximate time for my processing? Would i be allowed to travel if my application is pending?

After the marriage, your US-citizen spouse would file I-130, it would take several months to be approved, and then go to NVC and the US consulate for consular processing, which takes a few more months, at the end of which you get an immigrant visa. The whole process from filing of I-130 to getting of immigrant visa takes around a year.
