The length of her period of authorized stay is not dependent on the expriation date of her visa, but the date stamped / written on her I-94 at POE when she enters. The visa expiration date only means that after that day, she cannot use that visa to enter the US anymore. She might be given 6 months when she comes - or she might be given less.

You can apply for a new tourist visa, but I really don't see the point in doing that. There is a fairly big chance it would not be approved as she clearly has intent to immigrate and at that point definitely could not show any ties to China, as she is getting ready to move her life here. Most likely it would be a waste of money and time.

her tourist visa expires oct 30, 2011, does it make sense to apply for another tourist visa for the time being.. the thing is shes pretty much finishing up her life in china to move her, so going back for a long period of time (to china) is out of the question.

She can try applying for one, but it is unlikely it will be approved with the I-130 pending as she has shown an intent to immigrate to the US. A number of people have been successful though. Won't know till you try.

Caly there is no border patrol when leaving the usa... thats why i asked how would they know she overstayed..

Really? You think people can just come and go as they please and there is no record of them entering and leaving the US, or no record of what visa status they originally entered with and how long they were authorized to stay?

Do it right do not commit fraud, maybe see an attorney if you need to, let the process work follow the rules. Believe me it is tough for all of us to go through the process.

In Arizona its hot hot hot.

so she will enter on a tourist visa with intention to leave obviously with a pending cr-1

does border patrol approve this? simply to visit me and go to a few planned weddings.

She may have problems with CBP, she may not. Even if she has a tourist visa, there are no guarantees that CBP will allow her to enter the country. Best to bring some proof of ties to her country if she has some.

seriously please read what people have written and let it be absorbed into your head, with no, 'yeah but's' or 'oh but what if' 'maybe this' 'maybe that' - there are none!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm no immigration expert but i believe she can come on a visitor visa to VISIT but like everyone said she MUST leave when her I-94 expires - MUST MUST MUST!!!!! no overstay

america is probably the hardest country to visit and immigrate to so seriously do not jeopardize that even 0.01% you will regret it!!!!!!

at the embassy there will know ALL you wife's movement's in and out of america so don't lie about it, computers are amazing things.

as for saying her going back to China for a long period of time is a no no, you need to re-think that BIG TIME.

plus when people come on here trying to 'dodge' the system that we've all been through its really irritating!!!!!! its difficult, its supposed to be, other wise everyone would move here, but if you play by the book, the rewards are worth their weight in gold!!!!!!
