So your wife has no tourist visa yet..

 

To remotely have a chance of getting tourist visa approved, your wife MUST show strong ties to her home country which from your post, she has none.

 

Green card holders can petition for their foreign spouse by filing I-130 but there is no immediate visa available for the foreign spouse.

There is a priority date to wait (approximately 2 years).

Hence your spouse cannot use tourist visa to wait inside US for 2 years.

You are either (A) trolling this site or you are (B) asking advice for deliberately circumventing US immigration law.  You need to get lost.

Yes i know that i have to return my gc to them well if they decide not to approvedmy Sb1 visa then what can i do ? İ can do my best to prove that i did not want to abonded my gc under my Control i serve military 6 months then Applied my Wife to stay here as a legally those takes time to do And she is pregnant have no place to go 

We just went through the interview process (to determine SB1 eligibility).   

 

Get this now:  You do not qualify for an immigrant visa.  If you do not qualify for an immigrant visa then the process stops at that point.   

 

Nothing else that you have to say matters to the CO.  They check your eligibility for an immigrant visa then they hammer you about why you were out of the country for so long.

Well then let say she came to visit And Meet me then decided to get married so its not counted as intent ? İs There any law  she cant marry ?

Dude, in your other post, you said you already married her and gotten residence for your wife in your home country.

 

Quite playing around with words and trying to game the system.

How can she give birth in USA if she can't enter USA at all? Are you able to pay for USA child birth medical expenses?

 

For working visa, she has to find a US employer who is willing to sponsor her for a job that no US citizen/Legal resident can do.

Unfortunately stating in one post that you are already married and in a couple of posts later saying that you will marry and adjust status in the US are contradictory.

If some how you get to keep your green card and you move back to the US. You cannot AOS your wife because you are not a USC period. She will be illegally in the US for 2 years before her number comes up and being illegal disqualifies her from being able to AOS

 

It's going to be pretty hard to prove you did not take up residency in your home country when you applied for your wife to immigrate to your home country. No way are you going to convince them to give you a SB1. 

 

Something others did not mention but this is my question to the others who know more about this. Does him serving in his home country's military as a GC holder cause issue? 

LOL USC's can have their citizenship revoked for serving in a foreign military. 

 

I know this: we got hammered at the "Determining Returning Resident Status" interview and (1) she got a travel document before we left, (2) all of our assets are in the US, (3) she can't work over here even if she wanted to, and (4) I'm a USC and it's my job that kept us out of the country so long.  The CO gave us a hard time before he granted permission for us to apply for the SB1 and gave us the Packet III. 

 

No way the OP's case is getting past the first couple of questions.

I think OP is under the assumption that he would need to get married again in the US to have a legal marriage here. That's not the case, the US recognizes marriages done anywhere as long as they are not bigamous or break US law in any other way.

I'm also caught up on the bolded part. That shows clear intent to establish residence somewhere else.

You would be better off finding a way to get your wife legal residency in your home country than trying to get approval for you to return as a LPR AND then your wife getting legal status in America.
