I am a Legal Resident and i filed an I-130 for my wife two years ago. My question is will she be eligible for V visa after three years or is that only for people who filed before December 2000? I got married in March, 2001. Thanks.

Question,
V visa is only for people who filed I 130s before Dec 21, 2000.
Sorry - I am in the same position as you and my best choice is to become a U.S. citizen as soon as possible.
The INS rule follows:-
The spouse or unmarried child (under 21 years of age) of a lawful permanent resident is eligible for the V nonimmigrant classification, if he/she:
Had a Form I-130 (Petition for Alien Relative) filed with the INS on his or her behalf by the lawful permanent resident spouse or parent on or before December 21, 2000; and
Has been waiting for at least three years after the Form I-130 was filed for their immigrant status -- either because a visa number (priority date) has not yet become available, or because INS has not yet adjudicated the Form I-130 or the Form I-485 (Application for Adjustment to Permanent Residence).
