I-130 for wife... can she visit? visit, not stay!

My wife has a multiple entry visa "visitor visa", we got married a month ago in USA and she left to home country...

I will file her I-130 soon, can she visit me while we are waiting USCIS to process I-130? her intentions are still vising me only, she will use her visa to visit me and NOT to stay here forever.

She will stay her after approved GC...

Im confused because I have heard that she will not be admitted if she tries to visit me using her visa because USCIS thinks she wants to stay here, is it true??

Also, I filled and prepared everything related to our I-130, and going to send the application soon, do I need a lawyer?? will USCIS accelerate "or respect" the application if it is signed by a lawyer. Im sure I did everything right in the I-130... but...

You DO NOT need a lawyer to file an I-130. Hurry up and file. The spouse of an LPR is only taking a matter of months to become current. December Visa Bulletin shows priority cut off date of Aug 1, 2010---5 months. Immigrant visa processing will start shortly after that and then shell be too busy to make a trip as a tourist.

Thanks for your input, I KNOW I dont need a lawyer for I-130, but AGAIN is there any magic effect in using a lawyer and letting him sign the lawyer field in I-130? WIll USCIS favor a faster decision for an application that is sponsored by a lawyer?

Also, you indicated it is 5 months + visa processing.... cant she visit me for 2 months during those 5 months? or she will be denied the entry since she got married to me and she filed I-130?

Thnaks Yes, your lawyer will make your money disappear---abbracaddabra and alalkazam!!! Its gone in the blink of an eye. When you use an attorney for something so simple it sends a signal to USCIS. 1.) Are YOU up to something? Trying to HIDE something? OR 2.) Is this a sleazy no good lawyer? Is he listed on the BIA List of Disciplined Practitioners? Has he been disbarred by the state bar association?

In either scenario, the end result is the same, a delay while they "check it out".
