If I am interpreting correctly, the question is can your US citizen spouse visit you in India while your I-130 is pending?

As long as your spouse has a Visa for India and has not visited within the last 2 months. India has a "gap" rule.

There should be a gap of at least 2 months between two separate visits to India on a Tourist visa. For Tourist visa holders who wish to visit India within 2 months of their last visit, an application for a Permit to Re-enter India is necessary.

Other than that... Yes

"I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant."
