Foreign wife travelling with me overseas

[Dave2770]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I married on December 23 with a foreign wife in California. She has a ten year visa but the 6 month max stay period expires February 27.

Is there a way for us to travel to our honeymoon in March and for her to return again with her passport? Or will she need a travel document and how quickly can she obtain her documents after applying for everything?

What country is she from? I ask this due to the EO.

I would definitely by leery about traveling outside of the United States until you get her at least her conditional green card, and I would be leery about traveling outside of the US even once she gets her conditional green card if things have not settled down by then. We don't know if what is going on now is just a fingertip in the icing and even more restrictions are to come, or whether things will calm down.

She entered the US lawfully, so you CAN get her status changed based on marriage.

I'm just asking if it's possible to travel quickly.

Well sure, trains are pretty quick. Planes, too.

Heck, some cars can really tear up the I-5 corridor now I think about it!

Why does everything have to be done in such a rush? It's a real question... Patience may be in order.

She cannot enter the US on a tourist visa (B1/B2) with the intention to immigrate. That's fraud, and her application to adjust status will likely be denied. If the I-130 (petition for alien relative) is pending when she tries to enter, she may be denied entry.

The short answer is to reschedule your honeymoon until after she has a green card or at least a travel permit.

He's back.

He has no interest in sponsoring her for a green card.

Or at least, that was what he said back in December. He wasn't even planning on living with her. Made no sense to me then, still seems bizarre now. I suspect OP has some sort of cognitive condition that precludes him from understanding what is considered socially normal behavior.

Travelling outside of the United States is not a problem. It's getting back in that's the problem.

She legally can't stay here past February 27th.

If no one has submitted any paperwork to adjust her status, then you have a problem. Even if someone *has* submitted paperwork, it takes time - if it's LA processing it, a LOT of time.

Contact an immigration lawyer.
You have mucked this up so royally that you deserve to have to pay an immigration lawyer.
