More details to this question:
I'm a US citizen with kids that are citizens as well. I live in Jordan and my wife is Jordanian. And I just got a job in the US and need to go to the US? Can my wife go with me and the kids using her valid B2 visa then change status there in the US to get her green card? We have no time to apply from Jordan for I30 and wait Thanks

your best bet is to retain counsel to navigate the cmplex immigration rules so that her entry into the USA is valid. One issue that would be a red flag is her "intent" on entering the USA. If her real intent is to permanantly reside here, but she enters the country on a visitor visa, then that could constitute immigration fraud and her entry could be barred by an immigration officer at the point of entry. Counsel anywhere in the USA can assist you. Good luck.
