Just American citizens or also Green cards ?

I wanted to know by the word "Citizens" , have they included the inhabitants with green cards ? I mean I live in CA by my green card but I haven't got my US passport yet and I wanted to bring my fiance to US , do I have to follow the rules for citizens which they have mentioned in their website ?

Only US Citizens can petition for a K1 (fiance) visa.

If you become naturalized as a citizen, you can file for your fiance. Not before.

What about spouse Visa , if I get married with her , is it possible to bring her with me by my green card ?

I am not sure about K-1 rules but I do believe that you can go for spouse visa CR-1 if you are holding green card but it is taking abit longer time than If you are a USC but once you become the USC you can upgrade your application.

If you get married to your fiance, you can file an immigrant visa petition for her under the category of F2A.

However, it will take several years to bring her to the US.

CR1, IR1 and K3 are all for spouses of US citizens.

K1 is for fiance of a U.S. citizen.

Since you are a legal permanent resident, you have to petition under F2A (spouses and minor children of legal permanent residents).

Yes you are possible to go for CR-1/IR-1.

I-130 Petition for Alien Relative : Permanent resident filling for a spouse or child under 21 (CR-1/IR-1)

I don't think you apply for K-1 or K-3.

It is taking abit longer time than you are the USC, like i said, once you become the USC, you can upgrade your application with them so they can process faster.

thank U very much , and by the several years , how many years you really meant ? 1,2,3 ,.. ?

maybe it is not calling CR-1/IR-1, but you are possible to file for your spouse if you are holding Permanent resident. I think you better go to this link on the correct section. There are the guides of how to do it there.

Moving to Bringing Family Members of Permanent Residents forum as OP is a permanent resident.

As a Legal Permanent Resident (green card holder), you can only file a I-130 petition for your wife. (You cannot file for a fiancee.) Your wife would be placed in the F2a family preference category. Currently people who applied before October 8, 2004, are eligible for visas. So the process takes about 5 years. There is no way to predict an exact wait time.

CR-1/IR-1 are ONLY for US citizens applying for a spouse. The poster is not a US citizen. He can only file a I-130 for his wife. He cannot file for a fiancee as an LPR can only file for a spouse and unmarried children.

You can file the I-130 for your spouse today, but as has been pointed out, the F2A preference category is taking multiple years for approval.

What may be the fastest route is to file the I-130 today, and then, as soon as you are eligible, file an N-400 for your US Citizenship. As soon as you become a citizen, you can upgrade your I-130, and it will be processed as an I-130 filed by a US Citizen, but with the same filing date that it originally had. So it will immediately jump to the front of the waiting line.
