If the visitor(Beneficiary) has proofs to show the embassy that he'll return, then it's possible.

by proofs i mean...things like his/her work, responsibilities like holding positions in his home country like a head of a clan, owing properties like houses, cars lands, having a family that's looking up to him like Kids, having large business(es) he runs back home, etc etc.

***** Moving from AOS from Tourist visa to Tourist Visa forum ****

Your chances of approval are very low, because you clearly have immigrant intent. That being said, if you have the money for the application it is worth a shot- a denial will not harm your spousal visa case

Many thanks. I know she will be lying if she did not return and this will cause a big problem for her I-130 approval. She has every intention to return and wait for her approval.
