She needs a proper visa... here's the instructions on how to petition her spouse visa: How Do I Bring My Spouse (Husband or Wife) to Live in the United States? (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=3e6c96981298d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=4f719c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)
Since you are an LPR, the process may take up to 7-8 years for India, so it's recommended that you wait until you are naturalized. As a US citizen, petitioning your alien spouse may take about 12-16 months.
