Default H4 or B1

Please let me know your opinion(s).

My to be wife is in India and has a 10 year multiple entry B1 visa. She
has been to US a few times.
My trip to get married will be very short and getting H4 during that
period will be difficult (dont have consulate in home city etc.).
---
What are disadvantages/risks of coming on B1 visa and then converting
to H4 while in US?
---
Advantages are the saved time and hassle, and that we will be able to
come to US together.
Thanks a lot for your advice!

Default Re: H4 or B1

You might want to try posting your question in alt.visa.us. Seems like they
deal with H1 and H4 issues more there. Here, we mostly discuss K-1, K-3,
etc.

Good luck.
