If I’m getting married early next year, is it advisable to bring my wife to the US on a student visa while waiting on her green card?
Question Details: I know that I can sponsor my wife to get a green card once we’re married. The issue is that getting a green card is a lengthy process and I don’t want both of us to leave apart after we get married. If she gets a student visa we won’t be separated, plus she can get adapted to the culture easier while going to the school. Would that be OK and doesn't impact her green card process?
Yes, that may work. You can process in the US, if you come with the intent of a tourist or student. If you enter with preconceived intent to file for your green card, you may be refused entry or ultimately denied based on your fraudulent entry. Therefore, you must handle your process carefully and within the bounds of discretion.
The green card process in the US may only take 4 months.
