Questions on visiting the US while I130 is processed

[Jamie & Izzy 98]

Yes. Your husband will need your police certificate for NVC.

Maybe im being too cautious or overreacting, but I wouldn't take any official documentation with me if I was you. I once had a person sent back because he had his birth certificate with him at POE. In the eyes of the cbp officer, if your plan is only for a visit why do need to be carrying such documents with you?

Im planning on visiting my husband end of jan and have afew such docs I would like to bring with me. But honestly I do not want to give anyone any reason to doubt my intentions of returning back. So im sending everything to him before I fly out, rather than have it on me at POE.

My husband will come pick me up he can carry those documents for me he will visit me for a week before in Tangier so even if i get sent back i will still have had some time with him

If by any chance i don`t get denied at the POE but my Visa gets denied,will i still be able to use the VWP? this whole thing is really confusing me ..., if i get a ban on my VWP will i still be able to come on my Visa once i get it right,but once i get my Visa denied i wont be able to enter on my VWP ? if yes i would just do it ,risk getting my VWP removed and visit my husband for a few weeks ,my husband is the only reason i come to the US anyways.

Once again you were very helpful,and i wish you luck with your trip ! you seem to have done your homework .

Alright i do have that

Yes,he asked if i work or study i said no but i look after my Family and help my father in our shop every now and then (Women Cloth),how long i planned to stay i said 2 and half months,he said my answers were confusing him cause i told him i was with family in Germany before arriving to the US when he asked me about my trip ,so he was like you have Family in Germany now? you just said you live in Morocco with yout parents,i told him i was visiting my Brother and my Grandmother before my flight to the US so i have Family in Morocco and in Germany since i`m half German half Moroccan,he kept on saying wait wait a minute after almost every answer,so he said you have no job no nothing ,you cannot do that! i told him i never over stayed or broke a law,he said i know but you just cannot do that,he did not warn me or tell what specifically i cannot do, when we were almost done i started crying ...he said don`t you cry on me now! i already had someone cry today ...,and gave me a kleenex ,then he said okay and i asked him if i can go,he said yes you can go.

I did not know i was not supposed to visit for almost 90 days and go back and do it again,first time i stayed 2 month but the ticket we first got was about 85 days but my sister passed away one week before the flight so it was 2 month instead of almost 3 :S so now i know why they interviewed me !

I would like to stay 2 weeks around late February to mid March more or less.

And i apologies for my English, after all this time on VJ i`m still learning new things about this Journey every day ... !

I think you should be ok for a 2 week trip. Just have as much evidence as you can. Even ask your dad to writean emplyment letter that you work part time. CBP officer doesn't have to know its your dad's business.

It is also a positive sign that the officer didn't warn you not to come back on the vwp. It seems his issue was with how long you were staying in the US and the back to back trips.

My husband will come pick me up he can carry those documents for me he will visit me for a week before in Tangier so even if i get sent back i will still have had some time with him

If by any chance i don`t get denied at the POE but my Visa gets denied,will i still be able to use the VWP? this whole thing is really confusing me ..., if i get a ban on my VWP will i still be able to come on my Visa once i get it right,but once i get my Visa denied i wont be able to enter on my VWP ? if yes i would just do it ,risk getting my VWP removed and visit my husband for a few weeks ,my husband is the only reason i come to the US anyways.

That's what this site is all about. Sharing experiences and info.

You mention you husband will be picking you up and he can carry the docs for you? How will he be able to do that? When you go through POE, that area is restricted. Unless your husband works for the airport and has security access to the area, he would not be able to join you there.

About the VWP and CR1visa denials:

1. You are allowed in at POE but eventually your CR1 visa gets denied.

I am not completely sure, but lets say your CR1 visa gets denied in aug 2014 and your current VWP expires on oct 2014. When you next apply you have to state that you have been denied a visa to the US and because the visa tgat was denied was an immigrant visa, it stands to reason that your next vwp will also be denied.

2. Denied at POE, VWP invalidated but CR1 visa approved.

A denial at POE has no barring on youf CR1 visa. You will be able to enter the US with your cr1 visa without problem.

If you have a strong case of a bonafide marriage, I dont see why you would be denied.

We will be traveling together,last time we went through the POE together .

So he can carry the Police/Court records if needed.

It all sounds like we should just try it.

I`m very grateful for all your answers !
