Actually i just got married last year in October 2012 (Pakistan) and in 15 days i am going back before my 180 days will over. i want to ask you when should i have to apply for my husband? whether i have to wait till next year after getting my Nationality or i can apply for him on my Green Card? which is the fast way so he would be here in USA on time.

and what is the process of starting this procedure?

You can always start now so you can at least get things along than when you become citizen you can update ur case.

If you are on computer at top of page is the guides. Go study the I-130. There are many links in there "how to bring spouse to US".

Come back when u have more questions.

You should file as soon as possible to get the process started and get your place in the queue. You do not need to be a citizen. However, do prepare for a long wait: there is only a limited number of visas available every year for spouses of permanent residents. The current wait time for a visa number is 2.5 years, although this can change at any time (see http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html for information on wait times). Once you become citizen, you will be able to upgrade the petition which will speed up the processing.

The forms and the process itself are otherwise the same for LPRs and for citizens. Read the guides for which you find a link at the top of this page and come back here if you have any questions.
