Hi!!

My husband wants to visit me in the States and we want to see if there's a chance he could get a tourist visa, even though we are going through the CR-1 process. It hasn't been approved by the CSC yet. Does anyone have any experience or suggestions?

Thanks!

I wanted to do that myself, but I had to cancel my husbands visa process that we were doing and we were told no at the embassy anyway for the tourist visa. Just wait.

Fell in love on a missions trip in 2005, got married in 07, got pregnant and started IR1 visa process in 08, had baby number 2 in 10, and its now 2011, and we are just now finally getting to the end of this long road. (The mail from the embassy never arrives to my home, causing us trouble. Fingers crossed and prayers going up! Both kids born and raised in Mexico and American citizens by CRBA:

His Appointement is October 25th!

I agree with the other poster. My husband got rejected twice, the 2nd time AFTER we had approval at USCIS and were at NVC stage. I was undergoing surgery and wanted him here for support. Sent them all my medical documents and letter from Dr., they said he would be approved on medical basis but when he went for interview he was asked only a few questions and denied, no chance to ask why or anything, they just told him to leave. Crazy thing is, there's no record in the system he even had that interview!

So don't frustrate yourself, or him, just wait until you get approval.

Good luck!

There is a chance he could get a Visitor Visa.

Many people visit whilst waiting, most have visa's or do not need them.

That is not possible, he should have a receipt of the fee paid to embassy for the visa interiew, normally embassy would put a stamp on back of passport indicating he hand interview and was rejected etc.

They might or might not grant him assuming he would not return back home to complete his visa process and he might just stay in US and file for AOS.
