I previously posted about how my wife left the country without obtaining Advance Parole, while waiting on her AOS and now we will have to file for the CR-1 visa. That is, start over...

This CR-1 visa can take upto 2 years, according to an official at USCIS whom I spoke with. Can she visit me in the meantime?

Can she simply go to her consulate in India and obtain a visitor's visa and come here for 5-6 months while her CR-1 gets processed?

Or will the consulate tell her: "sorry! you already have a CR-1 being processed! we can't give you a visitor's visa!"

1.cr1 process takes 5-6months
