It could be up to 3 years. You should apply for her now...then upgrade after you become citizen.

Well, if you petition for her, probably more than five years! If she can get to the U.S. on another nonimmigrant status (not as a visitor), this would be your best bet. This is something that an immigration attorney like myself should analyze to provide you options.
