Asked on Dec 26th, 2014 on Immigration - Texas
More details to this question:
I am a US citizen, and planning to go to Iraq which is my birth place. I will get married there. If I will do so, how can I bring my wife, how long it takes to bring her to the US? What's her right in the USA? Is she going to be a refugee like me or will she have a different status? How about USA benefits for refugee, is she is going to be qualify for these benefits or not? Thank you.

It could take a very long time. If you are a USA citizen, it might be a year or longer. If you are not a USA citizen, it is likely to be way longer than a year.
