Bringing Brazilian Wife to the U.S. Which Visa?

[mrtosh2 0]

Hi everyone,

Fairly new to this, so please don't flame me for asking silly questions...

I am American and currently living in Brazil. I have received a job offer in the U.S. and will move there. I want to bring my Brazilian wife and American/Brazilian son.

The facts:

-American citizen married to Brazilian citizen for over 3 years

-We were married in the U.S. and have marriage certificate

-Wife speaks English, has a PhD, has a valid tourist visa for the U.S.

-We have a son together with American and Brazilian citizenship

Can anyone please direct me to the right type of visa to start researching?

Thank you very much!

Need to file I-130 for IR-1 - will take about 8-10 months.

Ir1. Take roughly a year. Or she can try for an hb1 work visa in her field if she can find a workplace to sponsor.
