Hi Guys ! I filed for I-130 in March . I was wondering if anyone has done this , and all suggestions welcomed.

I am planning to have my wife apply for Visitors visa in May . Though i have applied for the I-130 ,i was wondering if its possible to file for visitors visa so that she can come here for 2 months and then go back .I have recieved my NOA-1 last week . Would filing visitors ( tourist ) Visa affect anything on I-130 petition ?

Please help if anyone has done this before .My main concern is , i dont want my I-130 petition being affected .

Thanks in advance .

I don't think it would affect I-130 in any way, it is just that I don't think she would be granted a tourist (non-immigrant) visa now that her immigrant application process started. Even if she is granted a visa, no one can guranatee that POE officer would grant her entry into the States. That's only my opinion.

Dated since 2004, 10/22/2008 Married in NY, wife left the country, returns on 01/06/2009 as a visitor (granted stay until July 2009)

01/15/2009 Sent I-130 package for CR1 to Chicago Lock Box, 01/19/2009 USCIS Chicago received the application

01/26/2009 USCIS sent out NOA1, 01/28/2009 Moneygrams Order cashed

02/24/2009 Case is in Vermont Processing Center (told by the USCIS by calling the free phone line)

03/02/2009 NOA2 mailed, application approved!!!! (47 days since we mailed I-130 package)

03/05/2009 NVC Received Case / Case number assigned

03/12/2009 DS-3032 / AOS fee bill generated and e-mailed to us, 03/12/2009 I e-mailed and snail mailed DS-3032 and paid AOS fee bill online

03/18/2009 NVC received DS-3032 and it was entered into the system (I never received email confirmation)

03/20/2009 IV Bill generated and I paid online

03/30/2009 Sent I-864 package to NVC, 03/31/2009 Sent DS-230 package to NVC

04/01/2009 IV fee shows unpaid, 04/03/2009 documents are under review (confirmed by operator)

04/06/2009 IV Fee finally shows PAID, 04/07/2009 AVR system says that IV bill has been processed, "instruction package" received by email

04/08/2009 AVR system says "NVC received your documents on April 3...", our case is under review...

04/10/2009 RFE issued for DS-230 Part I, but AOS accepted

04/14/2009 found out the exact issue with DS-230 and sent the response using Chris Parker's RFE shortcut and later in the day received an email checklist for RFE

04/15/2009 RFE response arrived to the NVC facility, 04/20/2009 RFE response received by NVC

04/23/2009 CASE COMPLETED, 06/02/2009 VISA RECEIVED

Here is a link to some info regarding visitation that one of the moderators, krikit, has supplied in the past. While it is focused on a K1 visa, I would think that the info applies to most any situation.
