Spousal visa help

[crete456 2]

Hello,

I am a citizen of the United States , recently I married my fiancé of three years in her home country of Colombia, my wife is living in Colombia. After gathering all the necessary proof of bona-fide relationship as well as requested documents by the USCIS I sent in the I-130 application on November 13th and was received by USCIS on November 30th. 

Questions:

Was I suppose to file the I-148 Adjustment of status concurrent with the I-130?

If it was better to file the I-130 & I-148 concurrently is to late to file I-148 now since I haven't received a NOA1 and check hasn't been cashed? also is another  fee to be paid?

If all this is wrong what steps should be taken? what forms are to be submitted?

I would like for my wife to be able to apply for a drivers license, work, travel back to her Colombia to visit family if our petition is approved and she gets her visa.

Help is gratefully appreciated!

Happy Holidays :-)

Dennis

No adjustment of status - wife is abroad. You’re doing consular processing. 
read the guides at the top of the page. 
Your wife is abroad, she’ll interview at the embassy for her immigrant visa.
