Immigration question (I-130)?
Answer:
No, it's not possible. It could be considered immigration fraud. Do you really want to bring this kind of trouble down on your head?
Do it the right way. Since you live in Japan you're eligible for Consular Filing and can totally avoid the mess with the CIS and at the National Visa Center. The sooner you start the sooner you'll get the visa.
I agree with the previous response.
Intention is the dictating factor. You clearly seem to have intention to have your wife apply for green card (otherwise known as adjustment of status if she is here on visitor visa and files for change of status to that of green card holder).
So, if she applies she will definitely be asked why did she not file for green card in Japan. In interview other questions shall be:
When did you decide to move to US?
When did you decide to file for green card?
Why not filed in Japan?
The length of wait to file after arriving in the US will be one factor.
So, at interview, if Immigration service detects fraud, then it can be a permanent bar. However intention is very difficult to prove as well. There is a waiver available but it is up to the Immigration Service.
No matter what - you don't want to be in trouble. Just wait and do it the right way.
No.The USCIS would consider that fraud.Like Yak Rider said,the sooner you start the application,the sooner you'll get the visa.
It won't work! The main reason is the application for the B1/B2 visa asks questions about marriage status and spouse, joint bank accounts etc. Even if she did apply as single, the I -485 application will raise red flags about time of marriage and place of marriage! Applications are turned down when people knowingly and willingly falsify statements on their applications. Don't do it , it's not worth it! File the I-130 then adjust her status here! Congratulations by the way! Remember patience is a virtue.
