I-539 extension? High odds that would be denied, IMO. The F2A process takes about 2 years. She must leave the US before the I-94 expires. As a tourist, she should spend more time outside the US

You can't "change" her visa from tourist to spouse.  She cannot cross the border with intent to stay and adjust status from within the USA, your new wife will have to leave the US after marriage

Sounds like visa shopping. . . She can't hold both at the same time.  Some exchange visitors with J-1 visas are subject to a two-year home-country physical presence requirement.

She can not enter on either a J1 or a B2 with the intent to stay inside the US and adjust her status........

Does she have a B2 now?? Does she have a J1 now?

She has a visit visa now. But she will enroll her in a research program in US to get J1 visa

“...to try get a J1”, you mean. 

 

Judging by what you’ve said I’d expect CO to realize in about 2 minutes flat her intention is to try stay and adjust, and deny on 214b. Fair warning, if that happens CO might decide to cancel the B visa too.

Just do it the right way and get married and petition her as a spouse.  Yes, you will have to wait just like the rest of us have.

A J1 visa is a NON-IMMIGRANT visa.  That means she would have to return to her country at the end of her stay.
