Your wife, as the US citizen, is the one who needs to petition for you- the first part of the visa process is all on her. Our Guide will show you the process and some of the fees: http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide1

She most likely does have a social security number, just does not know it. If she contacts the closest US embassy or consulate, they can probably help her to get it. The issue wil be that she needs to show intent to establish domicile in the USA before or at the same time as you'd immigrate, which could be difficult if she has never even visited.

This is a DIY site, so most people here do not use a lawyer or visa prep service; using such tend to delay the process as it is an extra step. That being said, they can be useful if you have a complicated case, or are just not good at filling in detailed forms.

Thank you so much for your kind reply

will actually she does not have one( social security number ) because she only lived the first 2 years in her life in the states
