You didn't provide sufficient information in your post. Are you US citizen or lawful permanent resident?

If you are a US citizen, then it could take up to a year.

If you are a green card holder, 4-6 years.

I presume she is not here. You might want to also file an I-129F petition for nonimmigrant status as spouse of a U.S. citizen, depending on the processing time. I also presume you're a U.S. citizen, but you haven't said that. If that's the case, it's about the same amount of time for both, about five months for the petition and a few short months for processing the visa. If you are a permanent resident, the wait time is a lot longer. For that, the processing time currently is close to five years.
