OK. If she is here then you can proceed to AOS. However your first sentence in your first post was confusing. Possibly due to a typo?
 
Also when you said this...
it makes it seem as if she is not in the US because she should already be aware of how much time she has in the US if she has gone through customs or she can check her duration of stay via her I-94.
 
 
Still not allowed in this forum. Doesn't matter who is planning or if they are using the the plausible deniability tactic. Do not discuss fraudulent activity on this site.. period!

But, that's what you signed on for.......right?  Surely you must have thought about these things when you petitioned him at his advanced age?
 
SMH.  Sorry, but I think it is irresponsible and cruel to bring a very elderly person here and not provide him with basic health insurance.  

Analogy: a bank can give you a limit on credit card, but it doesn't mean it's a good idea to max it out. Same logic applies here.
 
Another analogy: your friend invites you over for a dinner. It doesn't mean you should eat up everything available on the table.
 
I know it's frustrating, but these are the rules.

Then you're not sponsoring anyone,  they are applying on their own merits and need to show ties to their own country. Any talk of coming to help you is likely to get them denied.

To give her more flexibility in case she has difficulties at the end of her planned stay: illness, flight delays, world disaster, etc. 
 
A B visa is not for living in the USA. Her pattern of travel and her romantic  relationship with a U.S. citizen can easily lead a CBP officer to conclude she is living in USA. 
 
CBP generally admits one general class of aliens for 6 months at a time (and expects them to stay out for 6 months before returning): financially independent people, including:
 
* retirees, especially Canadians (aka snow birds) who like birds, fly south for winter and return to Canada for the summer. So October 1 - March 31 in USA and the rest outside the USA.  CBP also understands the pattern of retirees from developing countries who come to USA 6 months out of year to be with an adult child who has an H1-B / green card / citizenship 
 
* younger, yet wealthy people.  They are a low risk for over stay because if they wanted to stay for a long time they have means to do so legally and the means to expedite their applications. 
 
What it has trouble understanding are younger people with non visible means of support or those who are self employed come to stay for months  at time, staying in the USA.”What are they doing while in the USA” CBP asks?  The answer is likely: “working without authorization”. And not paying U.S. income taxes either. 
 
.  
 
 Sometimes this pattern leads to an over stay, such as that described in 
 
Why isn’t she spending more time in those countries versus the U.S. now? She’s never been to Africa for instance. Plenty of stuff to see there. 
 
Has she spent the same percentage of her time  in those countries as she does in the USA?
 
I’ve been to over 50 countries. Aside from Canada (where I am from) and the U.S., I’ve never spent more than a month at a time in any other country besides Australia.  My job didn’t afford me that kind of time. 
 
Besides  what is there to see in USA really that is unique?  NYC, Niagara, central FL theme parks and space port, New Orleans, Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, southern. CA theme parks and the film studios, and maybe DC, Chicago, Yellow Stone, and Yosemite.  She’s surely been to Nepal; our mountains are just little hills so she can skip the National Parks. So 45  days should do it.
 
The rest is fly over country: called that because we fly over it and don’t stop there

Rule of thumb she needs to spend twice as much time outside of the US vs time in the US.
 
So if she spent 4 months in the US, it's best she spends 8 months OUTSIDE of the US before visiting again.

Better make sure mom knows for sure that her son may not be coming for awhile. You are putting too much faith of things moving fast. 

@Crazy Cat has it correct. I’ve never said anything to the contrary.

“
A marriage where one or both parties was not present (proxy marriage) is not valid unless the marriage was consummated.  
(1)  Consummated:  For the purpose of issuing a visa to a “spouse,” a proxy marriage that has been subsequently consummated is deemed to have been valid as of the date of the proxy ceremony.  A proxy marriage consummated prior to the proxy ceremony cannot be considered a valid marriage for visa adjudication purposes unless it has been consummated subsequently.
”
 
It’s a USA marriage. It will be recognized by the U.S. embassy in Morocco. Whether it is recognized by the government of Morocco is of no relevance. 
The term is consummate 
This is correct.  
 
Before filing I-130, the couple should take at minimum take  selfie with their Utah marriage certificate, and along with the selfie, include a hotel receipt,  and evidence the petitioner traveled to the beneficiary’s country of residence. 
 
 

Looking at the big picture here, I think you should take the opportunity to educate your wife and bring her expectations of the amount of time it will take before her daughter and her daughter's family is here. You already know that your wife has to be a citizen to file for a married son or daughter. But based on wanting to bring the grandson over to start school, he may very well be pass the age of grade school by they all get a visa to immigrate. A student visa is an option but requires sufficient proof of funds. It is best to let your wife know that her expectations of bringing them here soon is not realistic. It may be painful for her to hear it now but, trust me, it is much better than her harboring unrealistic hopes for the next few years.
 
Also, as a moderator, I am glad to see you recognize the SIL is trying to do things fraudulently and would not like to participate. VisaJourney does not condone or allow conversations of this nature, so outside of the advice you have gotten about doing it the legal way, there is not many options left for your wife.

I appreciate all of the replies.  I have already spoke with my wife about it.  She is not happy but understands.  If her family wants to come it is up to them to figure it out.  Ireally feel for the granddaughter.  She has a marvelous talent that needs schooling.
 
I could write a book about the SIL but won't do it.  I love my wife too much and thank God she isn't like her sister.
 
For the record honesty is always the best policy.  You may hurt some feelings but feelings for good people heal.
 
I think we are done here.

It is not just the previous marriage they will have questions about. They will also dog into the current relationship. 
 
Who is the new fiance and how did they meet? How long has your friend known this other person? Is she from the same country as your friend? If so, did he know her before or during his marriage? Was he in contact with her at all during his marriage? 
 
He can have evidence from his first marriage but they will look to see if the first marriage was just a means to an end to bring the current woman to the US.

Your timelines are not correct. Only the first part (the petition) of the CR1 is approved around 10 or so months. There are other phases after that. The CR1 is taking 1.5 to 2 years to compete before a visa is issued. 

Whether you seek to return on the VWP or B2 is irrelevant.
 
Usual rule of thumb is to stay out as long as you have been in but no guarantees.
 
Extensions seem to be taking over a year to be reviewed.

There is nothing to expedite. The process for visitor visa is already pretty fast, considering. The long wait times are because there are no available time slots. Embassy all over are backlogged. There are emergency situations where an applicant can ask for an emergency appointment. Things like operations and death of a family member and such. But your mother does not have an emergency. They will not consider her wanting to come to see you give birth an emergency. 
 
Your mother should still apply for her renewal. It may be possible for her to get a renewal without an interview. But no guarantee she will be eligible.
 
A technique that seems to work is checking available slots that are earlier than her original interview date. This requires constantly checking the interview schedule numerous times a day. 
 
Conngrats and best of luck.

Hard stop right there. The answer is, yes you have to be honest. It does not matter what comes after that question... you asked, the answer is, and will always be, "Yes, you have to always be honest." 
 
 
Absolutely do not do this. Never lie to immigration. And we do not condone this type of activity here. You don't have volunteer the information, but if asked he has to tell the truth 
 
 
Also, your letter did not help. Letters of invitation like the one you wrote hold no value. So it likely did not do anything to help his situation. It is mostly a waste of time writing them. 
 
Lastly, if his circumstances has not changed since the last interview, he can expect the same result. He is still unemployed with no previous travel history and a American grilfriend. He is considered a high risk.
