Hello, i am working with my brother on getting a B-2 visa from the US Embassy in Cameroon. i am a US Citizen and my brother who is married with 4 kids never applied for any visa. Any help will be appreciated to get his application going. Thank you

Hello everyone; I am a US citizen and I have been living in Spain the last 20 years. I got married in Spain to a foreign woman (non-US citizen) and I have just been offered a new job in the US. I can go work there wherever I want, but my spouse can't go live there since she only has a B-2 tourism visa. The company I would work for told me that this is a somewhat frequent situation and that usually the spouse enters in a tourist visa, and then does an AOS. All advice I found on the internet (including this forum) is about getting married on the US on a B-2 visa and then AOS. We are already married so we won't get married again in the US. I have the following questions: What are the chances they will let my spouse in with her B-2 visa? When the ask about the purpose of the travel, she will answer along these lines: "I am married to a US citizen who is moving back to the US and I intend to file for AOS in the near future". Of course we will have all documentation showing we are actually married and it is a "bona fide" marriage so it can be consulted by the border guard when we enter if neccesary. The inmigration consultant for my company states that although the writen law says that B-2 is a noninmigrant visa, in practice all AOS from spouses of US citizens are accepted this way. Anyone had a similar case. If it is not possible, I guess I will pass on this oportunity and then file ourselfs for a CR1 visa and then find a new job on my own. I am just asking if anyone knows other cases like this since if I commit to go there I will lose my current position and if my spouse cannot enter the US I will leave the new position and will be jobless. I will certainly look into this with two or three inmigration lawyers, but would like to have feedback from the community. I will also update with what the lawyers tell me in case this is of use for someone in the future.
