My wife entered USA with B1 visa while waiting on I-129F interview.

[Letsgoliverpoolfc 0]

I applied for I-129F (Fiance visa) on October 30th 2014, I was told it takes around 5 months. My fiancé and I got married overseas on November 21st. During one of my visits overseas I applied for a B1 visa for my wife (I wanted to "Bypass" her entry to the USA). She went to the embassy for an interview and showed that we are married and she just wants to visit me, her visa was approved and her passport got stamped with a 3 months B1 visa (Until April 14th, 2015).

She entered the USA and was given a 6 months I-94 (Until July 22nd), even though her visa on the passport indicated it's good for 3 months only , so she's with me now.

So, what should I do now? Get married again here and ignore the original I-129F petition and apply for a I-485? Or should I apply for a different status! Thanks for help in advance, I appreciate it.

If you are married, the fiancé visa is now null and void. You must apply for something different now that you are married. A marriage is a marriage, regardless of where the wedding took place.

You must apply for i-130 as you are married now.

I understand, question is what to apply for .

This is good news about the B-1 visa.. In 3 weeks my wife is comming into New Jersey for 5 1/2 months .. we have a CR-1 in process now at TSC where there are major

delays..If we get notified of an approval and it gets through and it is before her return date.. I will have to change her return ticket immediately to get her back for the police

check and medical...Her B-1 is for 10 years.. she got it in November 2013 and never used it yet so I expect CBP to not give her a problem at POE as she will have a copy of the NOA-1 showing we are doing everything by the book.. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION......Now you must file the CR-1 visa...... known as the I-130 petition... You will need to start over as you are NOW married and the I-129 is now no longer good... ............Good Luck to you.......Congrats on the Marriage...

5 plus months is a lot of business.

[Letsgoliverpoolfc 0]

Thank you Tiko426, I appreciate it. And I must agree with Boiler, that five plus months is a lot of business, it just doesn't seem that way when your wife/fiancé is waiting to get in.

by getting married you made the process longer FYI

You also need to cancel the I-129F

Did your wife had a B-1 visa before you even applied for CR-1? Was she issued B-1 for business purpose?

She had it for a year before I filed the CR-1..... She is in the Colombian Military and got it through them...

You cant marry her again. You need to cancel the I-129 and start over with the CR process.

Why do the Columbian Military want to send her to NJ for so long.

Just being nosy.

Guys since she is now here could they apply for AOS? Not propagating fraud just asking because she is now here. *I come in peace*

[JohnR! 5,495]

Absolutely. The only thing you need to bear in mind is that if you go for AOS she won't be able to return home for the next 3-4 months, until she receives her AP.
