Gee, what's the rush??? Did you just meet her? None of my business, but leaving her here with no help/support on her side is kinda selfish. Anyway, to answer your question to the best of my knowledge. It'll take a ton of paperwork, probably many visits to the American Embassy (consulate), along with all translations in to English, etc. It won't be that easy. Probably take 4-10 months, just a guess.

Good Luck.

For you to be successful you wil need to be financially secure and well established in your community. It is also advisable for you to be with her at the time of her interview. To get married and take her to the USA if far more complicated than you might think. I know you are already married, but it would have been far easier to marry her in the US and then apply. You will need proof that your relationship is legitimate, photos, letters, e-mails etc. Get ready for some heartache and some headaches. You might want to get an immigration lawyer in the US to advise and help you. The process can take quite some time.....

I wish you all the luck

If you are filing in the US, the processing can take some time. For example the Calif Center is now processing I-130 Petitions for a spouse and I-129F (Fiance(e)) forms filed in Nov 2006. Once they are done, the waiting time for an interview at Bangkok Embassy in 8-12 weeks.
