I got married to a Malaysia girl in May (in Malaysia) and I live in USA we are putting together the CR1 but I am wondering if anyone knows if it would be an option to bring her over here faster through a work visa? My job is able to sponsor her. Could we change the status later? Would immigration see any red flags since it would be the same company i work for?

just curious..

thanks!

Coming over on work or visitor's visa while knowing that you intend to stay is fraud.

What is your intent?

If you are intending to use the work visa for the purpose of having her work here is one thing. If you are intending to use the work visa so that she can immigrate to the US, that could be construed as visa fraud. I would suggest that you continue on the spousal visa path. to avoid possible red flags.

Not necessarily- some work visas allow dual intent.

However, what special skills does your wife have that would get her a visa? Just having a job offer is not enough, you'd need to prove there is no American that can do the job, plus employment visas run at $5000+. CR-1 spousal visa is cheaper...

It is theoretically possible. Presumably your are looking at a H1B, but that would take longer than a CR1.

So what would be the point?
