:shocked: Ok, ive never heard of this before. Could I use this to get
my wife here to the states. Heres my situation:
-Received my green card on April 2000.
-Customary marriage on 3/3/02, official marriage on 12/01/03.
-Wife cant get a vis. visa and so cant come to the US, has 3
application received stamps on passport over the last 1.5 years. (same
as denial
)
-I have a BS in computer science and should receive a MS in a little
under a year.
So could I apply for an extraordinary ability
visa/h1b-visa/student-visa and then try to get my wife here through
the equivalent spousal visa???
Thanks for any and all info,(anyother ideas would be appreciated too.)
