Re: Tourist visa for my Wife

In your case, I would probably try to obtain a B-1 visa, which a visa that allows the applicant to come to the U.S. for a short visit. It could be for business-related mattters, family emergency, and other short trips involving special circumstances. You will need to explain in detail your retiremente plans (buying a house in your home country, how are you going to cover your expenses, living arrangements, etc.)
