Hello all, and thank you very much for the comeraderie here.

I was wondering if its possible to get a work visa for my wife to return to the US for awhile? My father is in the hospital from a heart attack and I just want him to see his daughter in law once in his lifetime. Nine months ago approx. the consulate in warsaw told us to do DCF and now all our labors have been in vain. My family is suffering tremendousely from this seperation.

If I am allowed my father could employ my wife and fill out the documentattion for it. I do not have a talent for understanding the Govt websites to please forgive me if this information is already available.

Thank you everyone for your time,
Andrew

There are numerous visas out there to get work you want but assuming that you are already married and that DCF comes back and that you are qualified for DCF none of them will be any faster than DCF filing.

If your primary interest in getting her a work visa is just to get her over there you could try a non-immigrant toursit visa. Im not sure how it will look to the consular officer if you are already married because the primary thing you need to show in applying for a toursit visa is that she will not stay there (for instance showing that she owns land here has children, or any other type of obligation that would show that she has an incentive to come back). I know another VJ'er did the same thing (already married and applied for a tourist visa) and was accepted. I am not sure though what the circumstances were. The post is about a week old. Why dont you try looking for it in Direct Consular Filing or K3 visa's forum.
That would be your fastest track to getting a visa if all you want is for your father to see her.

If you want for her to come on a work visa then you are looking at at least a couple months before those get approved depending on the type of visa that you want.

So overall wait and see if DCF comes back see if you can file it. Then work it out from there.

If not then try the non-immigrant visa route

Why didn't you file 9 months ago, when the Consulate advised you about DCF?

Work visas require just as much paperwork and often, time, as a marriage-based case. Why not have her apply for a visitor's visa?
