What are the residency requirements for divorce in NC?

My wife and I married in Turkey and I am relocating to the U.S. for work. We are in the process of separating and she will remain here in Turkey. I will be moving to Raleigh, North Carolina. What are the residency requirements for obtaining a divorce there? How long do I have to live there before I can pursue the divorce? I would also like to know whether my wife will need to travel to the U.S. at any point for a divorce proceeding. She says she will not participate as she is opposed to the divorce and I am concerned that I will not be able to finalize the matter if she refuses to cooperate.
