IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Visit visa for spouse while I-130 is pending	Visitor Visa's can not be sponsored for the US. I believe they can for other countries. About 1,250,000 B1/2 Visa's were refused in the same period. VisaJourney cases are hardly representative. I have no idea whether an application would be successful, nor do you.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Visit visa for spouse while I-130 is pending	Your answer about it being possible is correct for VWP countries. For the rest of the world, the odds of getting a 'visit visa' are exceedingly low in the first place. The odds of getting one with a pending I-130, or even I-129F, are basically zero. The reason for this is simple. VWP country people simply have to prove they'll go home at POE (assuming they are even asked), which seems to be infinitely easier than at a visa interview where they generally won't listen to what you're saying anyway. Anyone is free to apply of course. They should just know that what they're really doing is making a 150USD donation to the Department of State so they can tell you no. You can apply. However, if you're not from a VWP country then your odds of getting one were already low. They drop to basically zero with an I-130/I-129F in progress. My answers were factual, yours were speculative based on your own personal experience which may have no bearing on the OP's situation. Nearly 4,000,000 B Visa's were issued in 2010.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Petitioner/Sponsor (USC) has adequate income still CO wants Joint Sponsor	That's one way of putting it. Still, the real concern is the bona fides of the relationship. What might seem crass or abusive (and may well be) are simply tactics to root out fraud. With a full report of the interview including all questions asked and the answers, along with an understanding of the totality of circumstances portrayed on the form and evidence, one might have a better understanding of the concerns. The significance of Boiler's question goes to the bona fides. The more direct question is, "Why would you marry this man except to obtain an immigration benefit?" It's a legitimate question, in Consular Officer's eyes but decisions are based on the answers, not just the questions. The OP says they asked some why questions but does not indicate the answers given. Answers are the key. Questions, no answers, just a mega chip on the shoulder that will get him nowhere.

She does not need to go to the Interview and like others have said there should be no problem making trips over whilst you are waiting. The obvious thing would be to wait and DCF, that would minimise time apart.	Boiler	Male	Wales	2012-06-04 19:07:00
