hello, i have a question, my b2 visa was cancelled, my wife is a permanent resident and she made the request for the i-130 petition after my visa was cancelled, do i have good chances to get my i-130 approved

Why was your B2 canceled in the first place? That could pose a big reason on wither or not your I-130 is approved or not.

the homeland security officer made my told him that i was working in the united states, he told that if do not said that to him he could send me to jail for 6 months, so i had to tell him that i worked 4 times in 5 months and he cancelled my visa, then my wife made the request and we are waitin the reply, my case was received but do not know nothing.

What do you mean he made you tell him? Is it true? If so, he probably told you that you had to answer with the truth.

 

I think you might need a waiver to get the visa.

 

Also, if you were as a visitor in the US, why risk it by working? If you had applied for a GC through married in the US, you could have received a work authorization in 3-4 months. 

 

I really don't get some people. You are looking at 12-14 months wait, and add 6 months or more if you need the waiver for working.

i wasn´t married when that happened, and when i say than the officer forced me to said that its because he did it, he made me said something i didn´t do just because he didn´t want to let me intro the country, after that happened i had to get married with my wife in another country, she returned to florida and filled the I-130, she gave birth and i couldn´t meet our baby

Well, when someone asks you to lie just say no. He didn't have any evidence that you worked in the US anyway so he could not have done anything. The only thing he could have done is send you back to your country, but without any specific. When that happens, usually your visa is not cancelled and at least there is no record saying you admitted to working illegally or something of the sort.

 

Did he write on your visa why it was cancelled? They sometimes write some numbers. That could give you an indication of whether you will be asked the waiver or not.

Working on a visitor visa is obviously a no no, what effect it will have on an Immigrant Visa can not be know, could require a waiver may not.

Was your application for entry voluntarily withdrawn or was it an expedited deportation? Was there misrepresentation?

 

Either way, you can do the I-130 and then apply for the visa. If a ban is in place, they will notify you when the visa would otherwise be approved (you can't file it earlier anyway).

Your family will probably have to come to see you for the time being. What made the CBP officer think you had been working? Did you have work-related items with you (business cards, copies of resumes, certificates, qualification paperwork)?

 

 

How long has your wife been a green card holder and how did she obtain that status? 

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

i don´t know,  I think it was because the last time I went to Florida I stayed 5 months but I took five thousand dollars with me to cover my expenses and my passport had a seal of six months, I did not exceed my time in the United States, the officer wanted to canceled my visa because he forced me to say that I had worked and if  I did not say it he told me that he would send me to jail for 6 months

Sorry but this sounds like a BS.  He would not send you to jail. He had some suspicious that you were working and talked you into admitting it. If you didn't do anything bad, you wouldn't have said yes to working.
