-My Wife has been to the U.S. 2 times on a J-1 Student visa. I read the Foreign Affairs Manual on this and it does not seem to matter.

BACKGROUND

I am getting ready to file for a K-3 visa for my wife.

The times for this from start to interview is roughly 200 days

An additional 50 days later still until the consulate issues the visa.

QUESTIONS

1) Can she apply for a B-2 Spouse Visa?

APPROVED

a) If approved can we file the I-130 and I-129F (when she is in the U.S. and not get in trouble and change her status to be here legally

B) Could she be approved and opened a B-2 Visa if I filed for her K-3 prior?

i) Would this even matter as the Moscow consulate would not have received anything from the NVC at that point?

c) Would she, if in the U.S. under the B-2, have to fly back to Russia after the K-3 is approved to be able to receive it and/or change status.

d) How long would it take for her to receive the B-2 visa
