She needs to show ties to her home country, which is difficult with an immigrant visa in progress.. Does she have any ties, such as a child staying behind, a good job or such?

yes 16 yr old stays behind,certified social worker.works for utilities co was wondering if she needs a good reason to visit me

She has a good reason- her husband. Unfortunately, that also means she has a good reason to stay. All she can do is try- a denial will not affect the spousal visa.

You don't request a visa for your wife to visit you. She applies on her own merit.

duplicate topics merged. do not start multiple topics on the same subject.

Another vote for her to apply.

Let she try. In any case it depends on many factors and is unpredictable after all, but even if denied it will not effect a future spousal petition.

Why not, she can try . Tell her say 10 Haile Marys & pray

also carry proof of strong ties back home.

Give it a shot.

All it takes is time and money! If she has a large bank account there and a house, car, job she probably get it.

Well, visiting you is a valid reason. Like others have said, don't get your hopes up, she needs to show strong ties/reasons for coming back home (colombia).

My wife and I tried and got denied. Good thing was we were almost 95% sure she would be denied, but it was worth trying just cause there is so much to gain.

If she does get the visa, when she comes to visit she will also need to bring proof of those ties in case she gets questioned at the POE.
