Now I have my GC, can I sponsor my family?

Hi All

I recently obtained my GC, as I married an american. Now that I have my GC, can I sponsor my family to come over?

Thanks in advance

You have to become a USC first, then you can sponsor your family.

How long does it take approximately to become a citizen after getting a GC?

If you are still married to your USC spouse, you are eligible after 3 years of being a PR AND 3 years of marriage. And, if you meet all the eligibility requirements. Do a google search for "USCIS Guide to Naturalization", that will have all the details in it.
