Hey there people, I am a Canadian Indian and will be moving to the U.S in '09 now under the Jay Treaty, I am allowed to live and work in the U.S and able to sponsor my wife to be who is not Indian to come to the U.S as well. I was just wondering if any body had any experience with this situation and any horror/success stories that you would be willing to share with me as I do not know the likelihood that I will be successful in sponsoring her to come to the U.S with me. Help please.

I'm guessing it would be the same process as a US citizen petitioning to sponsor a spouse,(timeline - one year) or a US permanent resident sponsoring a spouse (timeline about 7 years I think) (are you waiting til after you're married, or before?)

You could check out www.visajourney.com for marriage based immigration information to US.
