Temporary work visa while waiting for approval marriage based green card

[spouse123]

I (US citizen) recently applied for a marriage-based green card (I-130) for my spouse (Canadian citizen) in October and it is currently pending. In the meantime, is there anyway I can apply a work visa for her even though she has had an employment authorization document (EAD) in the past and it has expired? She is currently living in Canada. The instructions are a bit confusing and I don't want to waste an application fee if it'll be rejected anyways.

thanks!

No. Being the beneficiary of a pending or approved petition doesn't give her any special ability to live in or work in the US. If she can qualify for an H or L work visa on her own, she can do that, but you have nothing to do with that.
