Absolutely. Is it common? Not really, but there are personal experiences of it happening all over VJ. Having a USC spouse sets a higher bar to show that you intend to return home, actually.

 

I wouldn't be worried about it, but be sure to carry evidence of ties to return home. Given the 5 months planned stay, that may be difficult to show, but take whatever you do have.

 

How often has she visited the US?

She's been to the us twice already on a visit visa. Hopefully that helps ! 

Has anyone actually been denied at Port of entry while waiting for a CRI or K3 visa ? Wife is planning on coming here for doing usmle step 2 among an observership role. She already has a b1/b2 visa for 6 months multiple entries. We are planning for her to come over for 5 months. But folks are telling us it's too risky, which Im not sure why it would be. Thoughts?

I received my NOA1 on 2017-10-06 and its being processed in the California Service Center (CSC) with a case number starting with WAC###... Here is my question, VJ is saying my NOA2 wont be get approved until April or May with the current backlog. But what confuses me is the  CSC processing times are still showing 5 months for NOA2 while VJ data is showing 7-8 months.

Does anyone know whats going on with that ? Why inst the backlog shown in the official CSC processing times website ?
