I already filled the I-130 form requesting my wife. I'm a legal resident since february 2006.
I married onJanuary 2007 and I submited the form two months later. I receive case status on June 2007.

I will like to know which option is the best a the fastest options that I have to bring my spouse to USA?

Notes. My father in law is an US citizen but he is not her biological father. I guess she cannot claim citizenship trough her father because she will failed the DNA proofs.

Can she apply for a student visa?. My spouse has enough funds to cover her studies in the U.S.

I work in a financial services company and they are giving me the opportunitty to request my wife trough the company. The company will provide a sponsorship to my wife and also the will give her a job opportunity.


Can my wife apply for Business Visa or Student Visa, if we already apply for I-130?

P.S folks Let me know about any idea.

Thanks
 
she can apply for non-immigrant visas, but the question is - can she prove non-immigrant intent to actually get one of them?
 
Well , we do not want to break the rules. I already request her trough the I-130 form. But I have been traveling very often and for us will be better if she can come to study here and she also has job position in the US.
 
I think you might be out of luck here. I had the same dilemma when my wife was on F-1 and went home for summer break. I was clearly told by our lawyer that if we get married and file the I-130 then, most likely, she is not going to be able to get her visa. back. She told us that after 3 years she might be able to get a K-3 (fiancé) visa. The problem here is, as LucyMo mentioned, the non-immigrant intent. Once your wife goes to the embassy to get a non-immigrant type of visa, they'll ask her if she has any relatives here and if anybody in US petitioned for her. The I-130 is the immigration intent of your wife and it does put her in the waiting list of getting an immigrant visa.

That is the mistake that many GC make when they get married and then want to bring their spouses in US.

I truly hope there is a solution for you there. Maybe H1 will work for her. Let's see what gurus have to say.
