foriegn wife denied visa

[Proserpina]

If going to the U.S. is very important, then the immigrant visa may the only way for your wife to get to the U.S. guaranteed. However, you would need to show that you are moving back as well. Your wife will not get the immigrant visa if you are not also going to “move back” to the states. However, this is a process that may take 6 months or more. You may want to contact the U.S. Embassy near you to see if your wife would qualify for expedited direct consular filing because of your sister-in-law’s illness. If you need more information, you may want to speak with an immigration attorney.

Actually, this is NOT accurate. Border agents DO have the legal ability to deny entry even if the traveler has a valid visa.
