Can my spouse apply for a visit visa after approval of her I-30 application?

Asked 3 months ago - Washington, DC

I am permanent resident wanting to sponsor my spouse on I-30. Though the I-30 approval comes early enough, the queues for interviews are long and it takes several years. The question is what are her chances to apply for, and at least visit me on a visit VISA after her I-30 is approved.
