She comes on the I94 waiver visa program,only a few countrys can use this program and the U.K is one of them...she has to have a return ticket from were she left from,proof of residencey in the U.K and last wage slip to show she is still employed in the U.K but she has never been asked to show these only the return flight home...

Thanks Flint35... we were considering doing the same (my wife lives in Japan, who also participate in the VWP), but we were worried about denial of entry (or worse).

hello guys did any one call the NVC about interview ?

Happy Labor Day.... know the US holidays.. it will save you time

relax... this is the second times you asked within a 2 hour window... instead of these unnecessary questions.. here is the # call them 1-603-334-0700... if u get no update to your case then no update the board is required.. people in general really only want to know if there is progress in one's case to gauge processing especially if their priority date falls after yours

Thanks Flint35... we were considering doing the same (my wife lives in Japan, who also participate in the VWP), but we were worried about denial of entry (or worse).

go for it.!

NVC closed today due to labor day,re-opens tuesday the 6th so be patient

thank you... these people will wear themselves out.

My wife comes to visit me on a tourist visa with no problems,she comes over 3 times a year and has done so for 3 years now and we have a PENDING f2a,as long as she has prove of returning home after her visit its not a problem

good.gifThe British knows best...

my young brother's visa was EXPIRED and renewed in sept./oct 2010 about 1-2 months before my/his parents consulate interview.. he had no issues with renewing the visa...at all. they were approved on 11/8/2010 and my brother traveled to the usa on 12/16/2010 and my parents traveled on 12/17/2010.. brother had no issues... they all traveled back to their country together. brother traveled back with me on 8/5/2011 to the USA and he had no issues (check POE review) by this time he had a case that was approved with USCIS and is currently pending NVC's processing. Dad traveled to USA on 9/1/2011 to get his son.. him and son/my brother went back to his country today 9/5/2011. brother will be back on 12/17/2011 and will have no issues...

moral - having a pending case + tourist visa does not = automatic denial to enter the USA

My mother/father/brother traveled for 6 years on a pending case with USCIS (F3) had no issues and never been asked about it during her 6 different POEs to the USA

yup, you are right in a way that this is possible for countries who are participating in VWP.

This is not true for all countries... so visiting is not an option as some of our fellow memembers had experiences. so it depends on the country where you are from....

My brother in law wanted to come to US to be with my sister when there first child was born...His immigrant case was pending...He was rejected a visit visa at Islamabad embassy.

From what I'm hearing, it sounds like a formal visa (like the B-2) will probably be denied, but folks from countries on the Visa Waiver Program might have better luck (as the entry officer may not care or notice the F2A status). I'll talk to my wife tonight and see if she wants to try.

I am not trying to discourage any one; but pls go through these before taking your risks... please weigh out your risks [if PD is around the corner, I wouldnt take a chance because of following Q&A...

6. Can my spouse/child visit the US if the I-130 is not yet approved? What if the I-130 has not been filed?

Probably not in either case. Being married to a permanent resident or having a permanent resident parent automatically indicates immigrant intent. This disqualifies one from getting a visitor or student visa.

7. What if my spouse/child already has a visitor/student visa?

The risk is yours to take. It is possible that your spouse/child may be admitted or may be turned back at the point of entry. If detained, your spouse/child will likely be deported. The visa will be canceled and getting another visa in the future will be very difficult. Even if the spouse/child never leaves the U.S., they may face difficulty during the naturalization process.

The above Q&A are from: http://www.unitefamilies.org/eng/faq/index.html#misc6

Also pls go through this forum..http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/family-based-immigration-10/can-f2a-apply-for-visitor-or-student-visa-13549/

There are several articles in google if you search by "can I apply for tourist visa while my f2a is pending"

recent case:

our PD is Oct 2010 and my wife entered in US yesterday on B1/B2 visa.She had many documents to prove that she will return.

She was asked couple general questions and they allowed her to stay for 6 months.

Yes, there was a possibility them to deny her the entry. In that case, they would have asked her to return with the first flight.

I don't think this is called deportation because she didn't enter the country. So, you cannot deport someone that is not in the country.

Our immigration case wouldn't be affected either. It is like applying for a B1/B2 visa and the agents from embassy would refuse it.

Our lawyer told us that here denial wouldn't affect the case.

However, getting an non-immigration visa would be impossible.
