Hello,
I am a permanent resident in US. I will be applying for my citizenship very soon. I am married to a girl in Pakistan. My wife lives in Pakistan with her mother who is a widow. Now I know the easiest way to get her here is to apply for N400 for myself and as soon as I become a US citizen I can file I-130 for her. But her sister is getting married in US in May. Now if she goes ahead and apply for a B visa from Pakistan, on the basis of her sisters marriage, what are the chances for her actually getting the visa when the visa officer will know that I (husband) is in US. We can provide a lot of ties for her to Pakistan but still what are the chances.
One more thing which I would like to add is that I am also a Canadian National and I have filled her case for permanent resident for Canada which is taking forever (already 13months since I applied) in Pakistan. Would it help in getting a B visa if she shows the visa officer that her intentions are to move to Canada once her visa is issued in Pakistan and not to US. She can also say that me and my husband are waiting for my Canadian visa and that is where we would like to live in the future and not US. She needs a B visa at this time to attend her sister's marriage and come back and wait for her Canadian visa. Please anyone who can help me decide what to do. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
