You need to file an I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, and then they have to file for a green card (I-485).
What country is your prospective spouse from, and where are the two of you physically located right now?

There will be questions to establish the legitimacy of your marriage, and then she will have to get a physical exam from a doctor. Have her go to the nearest embassy/consulate to wherever she's located, and you communicate with Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services here.

Stationed in Okinawa, married a Japanese female and bought her stateside. Cost close to 8k, took about 10 months, and had a ridiculous amount of paperwork to fill out. Give me a shout if you need assistance, if I can help, I will.
