Hi....I think most of us can wait the appropriate amount of time to get our spouses into the country. And, if your wife is from a country with a high fraud rate...the chances are nil. I do not think you will get many responses here. But, good luck

Regards,

Craig

My wife had visited me for 2 months recently on a tourist visa. She went back almost a month ago, had her interview today and her K3 visa was approved (that's what they said at the counter. The passport will come back in a week).

Before she came here to visit, I had called the USCIS asking if this was okay and the lady on the phone said, and I quote, "It's probably okay, as long she doesn't overstay".

That statement didn't inspire much confidence :), so we were a bit weary when she came in to visit but fortunately it was without trouble. She told the person at the immigration counter that she was here to visit her husband and no red flags were raised.

That said, I can't say that I recommend this. I'm still weary. But, yeah, that's at least one success story.

Current status: In the US on a K3, about to file I485

Hello ABCD,

I would like to invite my wife using a visitor visa. My I-130 process just started in August (NO RECEIPT AS OF YET!!!!) So I am anxious for her to at least get here for a few months to get acclamated. Without getting into details about your situation, I would like to gain some info as to decide on what to do. I appreciate your feedback but if decide again sharing some or al info, I completely understand.

Did your wife apply in Delhi consulate?

Did you apply for 2 months visa and received 2 months or apply for 3+ or X months and got only 2?

What stage were you in when you all applied for visa, ex I 130 filing, or I 129 or file at NVC?

When you called USCIS, was that at US office or India consulate?

Was your wife well travelled internationally (lot of stamps on her passport)?

Was she interviewed upon given visa at consulate or simply picked up a successful visa on her passport without having to meet anyone.

I really appreciate your shedding some light on these issues? Wish you and your wife a blissful wedded life.
