Hi everybody,
Here is my story. I need some advice.

Just a couple years ago I got married in Europe in Bulgaria. Me wife came to
United States 20 months ago by "green border"
So, she is here illegally - no social no any kind of american documents
except her native Passport.
I am about to get American Citizenship in August. I would like in some way
to legalize her residence in United States.
I know if she stays her - there is no way to do this.

Does she have to go back to Bulgaria in the same way that she had get enter
the US. And is the best idea take her from Bulgaria - it takes 3 months.

If I do this, does she have any chance to enter legally the border of the
United States.Or does she have to wait for changing the immigration law??

For those who don't know, "green border" would refer to crossing the
border in open country rather than at an official border crossing. This
would be without inspection.

This is probably true unless there is an amnesty, like LIFE a few years
back. How do you know you are getting citizenship in August?? Do you
have this interview and oath ceremony scheduled?

if you wish to pursue this, you will need an attorney. It would be
difficult for her to immigrate unless there is an amnesty law passed for
people that have entered illegally. Since you were married at the time,
did you assist her (physically or financially) in getting across the
border? If so, then you could be prosecuted and lose your PR status.
