More details to this question:
I am a US citizen born in Oregon 1959. My wife is Philippines citizen. We were legally married June 2017 in Seychelles. We our both expatriates living/working in Saudi Arabia. My wife received a B2 tourist visa which she used for our visit to USA July 2017. I plan to repatriate permanently to USA in March 2019. My wife would like to return to USA with me and apply for a green card at that time. Is that possible? I realize there is an avenue to start the green card process no, while I am still in Saudi, but would rather wait until March and start the process in USA. Thank you. Bart

Hello Bart...You should retain counsel here in Florida to make sure your case goes smoothly. There are special rules for fillipina nationals that may cause less of an obstacle.
