I am currently green card holder (in the process of applying for US Citizenship though I may have to wait for a couple of more months). My wife is visiting me here on a B-1 visa. If I submit for her I-130 now, could she stay in the US legally while waiting for her I-130 approval.
Thanks for your help.

A pending (or approved) I-130 on its own grants no right to stay in the US.

Use my advice at your own risk:
A person who has been in the country illegally marries a US Citizen, USCIS forgives the illegal past stay. The spouse has to stay in the country until his/her green card arrives. Having said that - if the person leaves the country or is deported, that person may face 3 or 10 year ban. |
