    After you are married, you apply for the L-2 visa.

    Check the consulate website for NIV application details, but you will need the visa application forms (DS-160 etc.), photos, a passport valid for at least 6 months, your marriage certificate and your wife's passport with her L-1 visa, the I-797 approval notice and her I-94.

    And remember, after you enter the US as an L-2, you can file for an EAD. Takes about 90 days. Congratulations and good luck.
