Can you apply for an Immigration visa (thru marriage) directly from the US or it must be done from abroad?

If you are an American citizen you have two ways to bring your foreign spouse (husband or wife) to the United States to live. They are:
1) Immigrant visa for a Spouse of a U.S. Citizen (IR1 or CR1) - An immigrant Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 is required. The first step is to file a Petition for Alien Relative, Form I-130 for your spouse (husband or wife) to immigrate to the United States. You file the petition with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) immigration Field Office in the United States that serves the area where you live.
2) Nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) - It is important to note that application for the nonimmigrant visa for spouse (K-3) who married a U.S. citizen must be filed and the visa must be issued in the country where the marriage took place. After the visa process has been completed, and the visa is issued, the spouse can travel to the United States to wait for the processing of the immigrant visa case.

I'm not exactly sure. I tried looking that up for you. The answer right above mine is very informative though. You can use this link to the US Immigration Assistance Center to e-mail them any questions you have.
...Wow what's up with that person ranting about illegal immigration? That had nothing to do with your question. What an idiot!
Sorry I forgot the link:

Don't come here. Haven't you heard? According the the majority of people on this site, the US is the worst country in the world.
