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
 
Provided she meets the requirements, people from Finland are eligible to use the Visa Waiver Program which means she is able to visit the US for 90 day periods- obviously it is unlikely that she will be able to do multiple back to back 90 day visits (though some people have managed to get away with it), but this does mean that you dont need to be apart for the entire time.

Just make sure that when she does visit, she has on her person significant ties to Finland, as having a spouse in the US could be a potential red flag to the POE officer who will determine whether or not she is eligible to enter the country.
