You may want to look at the spouse visa route as your wife is currently in the US to meet the financial requirement to sponsor you she would need to be in employment in U.K. for 6 months and must meet annually salary of £18,600 per annum or savings of £62,500 which must be in account for period of 6 months.

Can she apply for a citizenship for me?
Expert:  LawyerAk replied 8 days ago.
She cannot apply for citizenship for me unless you go through the partner route then after 5 years you can apply for permanent residence. You may wish to apply for the skilled work visa however you do require a job offer and sponsorship.
