The immigration family-based is complex.
Your first step should be retain a good immigration attorney.
Once you retained good immigration attorney, s/he will explain to you the immigration family process; request from you the supporting documents; prepare, file and monitor your petition; communicate with the agencies on your behalf; and prepare you and your spouse for the interview.

A: If you are overseas, you should file to process her LPR at the consulate. The process takes almost a year. Discuss your case with counsel here in the US who can represent you in the case from start to finish. Some of us charge very affordable flat fees. Good luck.
