Recently, the service was suspended by the Labor Department temporarily in order for the agency to meet the requirements of a federal court order to process thousands of H-2B PWDs.

For people who are already a citizen in the United States, for them there are primarily 2 ways to get their spouses to the United States to live with them.
The first one would be to file an immigrant petition filing for an alien relative. This is done using the immigration petition form I-130. The next step up on the receipt of the approval on the petition filed, you would be required to visit the United States consulate in your home country and get the physical immigrant visa. The third step would be to file for your Employment Authorization Card (EAD).
