Need help as to what my options are, US citizen

[jessmar]

Hi my name is Jesse I have a wife who is Finnish whome i met 4 years ago. We have been Married and living in Finland for the past 3 years and i have recently come back to the US to try to work and get things sorted for my wife to come here. My question is what are my possiblities for bringing my wife to stay with me until her green card application is final. Is there some sort of extended saty visa for a spouse and how long will they take to process that. Im only wanting her here before because it is very stressful without having her around and it could take up to a year or more to get her green card. So please any help withh be great.

By the way i mean for her to just stay like a visitor not to work before the green card just to have her here with me to wait for the green card.

thank you

Jesse

As spouse of a US citizen and with a GC pending, she is not eligible for a visitor visa. If she were to be able to obtain a "dual intent" guest worker visa such as an H1B or L1, she could.

You are correct. However the OP's spouse is Finnish. Slight hope that she may be granted entry on VWP.
