I am getting married in Pakistan. My wife to be already has a multiple entry visiting visa to the U.S. to visit relatives here. I will be applying for the spouse visa after our marriage. She will be coming to the U.S. after 3 to 4 months to see some relatives like she normally does from time to time. We want to stay together in the U.S. after she sees her relatives until she gets called for the interview in Pakistan and then she can go back and get her green card. Her visa will not expire in that time. I want to make sure we are not breaking any laws and are allowed to do this. Please let me know if there is any other better way.
 
There's nothing wrong with her visiting the US and then going back to Pakistan for the interview. However the immigrant visa interviewer will probably be more than 6 months after you file the process, and the tourist visa would normally only allow staying 6 months maximum in the US, so she can't legally stay in the US the whole time while waiting for the interview.

Thank you, I understand that but she will be in Pakistan for the first three to four months and then come to the U.S. So I think we will be OK.
