What process has she been waiting for? Did she enter the US lawfully or unlawfully? And what has been filed on her behalf or by her thus far?

It sounds like you are doing something wrong. In Houston and San Antonio, for spouses eligible for adjustment, it takes just 2-4 months to get the green card. You should come see me so I can see what you have been doing wrong.

Assuming she is eligible to file for her green card in the US based on her marriage to a US citizen, the whole process should take less than 6 months.

If you filed an I-130 visa petition for your wife, that should have been approved within 6 months. If she entered the US without inspection, she cannot adjust in the US and must go home for an immigrant visa. When she can reenter the US will depend on many factors and that is probably why she is still waiting.

Much will depend on how she entered the US and what forms were previously filed on her behalf. Knowing this will determine what needs to be done and how much it would cost.
