Hi there!

My wife and I are about to begin with the visa application process. She lives in US and I live in Finland. I have a question though, because I was not able to find a clear response to it from the FAQ section.

Am I able to make short trips to US under Visa Waiver after we have sent the I-130 "package"? Is I-129F (K3) any different when it comes to this?

Yes, you may visit under the Visa Waiver Program, however during each visit you have demonstrate strong ties back in Finland (meaning, you have to prove that you have every intention of returning to Finland after your have concluded your visit.)

It's the same deal no matter which visa you are applying for. K3 is no longer an option, btw.
