  1. Sure, lie on the application and (beat the wait time) then get her a job in violation of her status, then of course you can lie on her/your income tax, and then look for other ways to s***w the government (and the taxpayers).  Oh, and thanks for being such a good citizen!


  2. why would you let your  friend to petition for her.. You can petition for her and  less hassles if you do it.

  3. Prove that the relationship is legal and the processing depends on the volume of appilcations.

  4. You can't "beat" the 12 month wait and having friends who will hire her will not speed up the process one-iota. You will just have to be patient like the hundreds of other couples waiting for their I-130 to be processed.

    Your spouse may visit you while the petition is being approved but generally visiting while this process is ongoing is not an easy task. By petitioning Form I-130 you have shown what is known as 'immigrant intent' and that means it is going to be very difficult for her to travel using the visa waiver program (if she was eligible) or to obtain a B-2 visa. Both of those are intended for people with non-immigrant intent.

    However, it is still possible that she could still visit. If she is eligible for the visa waiver program and this is what she wants to do then she must bring PLENTY of evidence that she is going to return home after her visit. She will need to show sufficient ties to her home country - deeds to a house, property or a family owned business. Even with this evidence if the officer at the port of entry is not satisfied about her non-immigrant intent then she will be refused entry and under the visa waiver program she would have no right to appeal.

    If she is not eligible for the visa waiver program then she would need to apply for a B-2 visa and again the same problem as above occurs - she will have to prove and convince the consular officer at her interview and then the CBP officer at her port of entry of her non-immigrant intent.

    All of which is very difficult due to the fact that the I-130 as been filed because like I stated before, filing this shows immigrant intent.

    Generally and personally speaking it is not advisable to try to visit during this process, it is always recommended that she wait for her CR-I/IR-1.
