Other options for my wife ?
I see the California center takes a long time to process. can I apply for visiting visa, or can she apply for student visa ? any type of visa available for her to apply for ?

Most visit visas are denied. Even a higher number of visit visa applications while with an I-130 pending are denied

@Rocco Thanks. I should have brought her here then apply for both I-130 and I-145. 😭

she should have applied visit visa first then adjust status here. u can’t apply for another type of visa while with other pending application, unless emergency

oh it’s too late now. you should have done this before you had f2a visa. 💯 they’ll denied if you apply now.

she can apply for visiting Visa or visa for study but she will need to prove she will use it only for visiting or studying purpose. take a consultation with a lawyer to see what are your chances and if it worth it because us embassies all over the world are crazy backlogged because of covid

If she convinces the officer that she will not adjust her status in the US and only will be visiting, then B1/B2 visa might be an option here. It is really dependent on the officer and how convincing she is to the officer. Since I believe, if it would be granted a B1/B2 visa and adjust to her status in the US, you might get in trouble on the interview since the intention of her visit on a non-immigrant visa and has no initiation to adjust her status.
