I already have an I-130 approved, category F4.

Do I have to wait for 90 days from my last entrance in USA for applying I-130?
It should not be your intention to adjust your status in the US when you arrive as a visitor.
I recommend that you speak with an immigration attorney in private about your questions.

Once you are married, your wife can sponsor you for a green card. Her previous application for her former husband should have no bearing on her ability to sponsor you.
