So does anyone have any other opinions on this? what should we do? Thank you @hmwtx for yours

 

I think your lawyer is the person to ask, possibly another lawyer for a second opinion. I thought she had to maintain status for the entire time and so if her student visa is about to end, that could be a big issue - but a lawyer will be able to tell you. 

 

And as Boiler said, her being a student for 10 years could be a red flag, as it could look like she wants to do anything she can to stay in the US and it's a green card marriage. That's assuming she's been a student in the US for all that time of course, or do you mean she was studying in her home country and only came to the US for her most recent course?

10 years?

 

Was she using CPT?

I don't know what is CPT. 

 

I know people who have been studying for over 20 years. My wife has taken many courses and has various diplomas

She was a student in her home country. We are together since 2013 so it's not green card marriage.

It's frowned upon by many immigration officers as it looks as an attempt to extend legal status by all means. People are right raising the concern. With new administration, USCIS is likely going to be stricter on many things. I wouldn't walk into interview without a lawyer.

 

This is all based on understanding she lived and studied in the US for 10+ years
