Does anybody know if it is possible to get an H2B visa if you are married to a US citizen?
Answer:
You seem to be thoughrely confused. And you confused us all. For better understanding provide more details about your situation. In General.
If yuowife is in Europe, and yuo are US Citizen, she is intending immigrant, and it is illegal for her to apply for non-immigrant visa (Anything else then GC).
H1B visa is dual intent, so that you can enter US on it and have immigration intent, but its also difficult to get and long and stuff.
Hope it helps.
Good luck. At least you are attempting to do things the legal way, unlike so many of our friends frmo the south.
It's pretty tough if you go the marriage based route- Try work based.
I know that there are stories of people waiting 15 years to get their wife over here (I sa a documentary on Taxi Drivers in NY- intresting PBS special).
Do the K visa for spouses. The H2B visa is by definition temporary, if she is married to a USC, they will know she intends to stay and will probably deny the case, the K visa is for your situations.
I don't understand why you would need to file an I-130 appeal. If you are a US citizen, then your spouse qualifies for an immediate visa under I-130 sponsorship. Your wife will have to wait for processing the applications and the consulate interview, which may take up to 18 months, depending upon the backlog at the time you submit your application.
