Hi, my daughter, a US citizen, sponsored me for a green card. I live in South Africa, and my embassy appointment is in 3 weeks. My daughter couldn't sponsor my wife as we got married after my daughter's 18th birthday.  My wife has a valid B1/B2 visa. 

 

Later this year, can my wife and I enter the country together? We are planning on filing her I-130 together with I-485 when we arrive in the US. 

 

Will she have a problem entering on her B1/B2 visa since I will be entering on an immigration visa?

 

Thank you!

As she has a valid current visitor visa, she will be allowed to board the flight.  She will need to carry evidence that she is returning to her home country and it will be up to the CBP agent at Point of entry   to decide if she is granted entry. 
 

But she cannot stay, cannot adjust Status.  Not eligible for it and fraudulent use of the visitor visa as well

 As a soon to be Permanent Resident, you will not be able to have your wife adjust her status. It is not an option in this case.

She is not an Immediate Relative, F2a is not current
