From the time you send in I-130 applicatio to immigrant visa in hand is usually 10-12 months depending on the country where the wife is from - some countries require additional time before visa is issued.

You can send in I-130 whenever you want - no waiting time required.

she needed a visitors visa to come in from Australia ? EEK - she's NOT Australian Citizen, right ?

Australian Citizens enjoy the Visa Waiver Program - no 'tourist visa' required.

Somethings wonky, already - but -

YOU can file I-130 on the 1st day after marriage - suggest you do so !

*** not a K-3 topic - moving to CR-1/IR-1 forum ***

she is a australia citizen.so if she gets the visa waiver and comes to the u.s on that we can still do the cr-1 from the u.s or no ..thanks for your info .

Sure - can file the I-130 in the USA, with CR-1 interview / medical , in Australia ...

No, she has immigrant intent so she must use CR-1 Visa to enter the US.

The fact that she had to apply for a B Class Visa to visit the US implies that she was barred from using the VWP already. Either that or she didn't know that she could use the VWP at the time. I think the Visa denial would prevent her from using VWP now.

Bob - ya, there's that point. Truly - I don't know if she has a shot at VWP or no. I'm betting YOU know, though !!

she didnt no about the vwp,she had all her papers with her lease copy,bank statement ,everything she was told she should have and she said they didnt even look at one thing she brought and a couple before and after was denied also ..well at least if she goes for the vw we could spend a few weeks together while we wait for the c-r1 .
