Yes, you can apply, but highly unlikely you will get the B2 visa if you are married to a US citizen.

Thanks for your reply and applying B2 visa wont hurt my K3 visa application?

It will not hurt it at all. K-3 is no longer available though, so you should be on the CR-1 spousal visa path.

If your lawyer is telling you to get a K3, get a new lawyer, there is no such thing as the K3 anymore. K1 is what you need.

Yes, fire the lawyer because K3s are obsolete visas (if he recommended it)... but NO K1 is not the option because they are married (K1s are for unmarried people).

If they did, in fact, petitioned for a K3, it will be processed as a CR1

She's married, the K-1 is not an option for her

the cr-1 path is the one you should prepare for

Unlikely to get a tourist visa is being kind

Good luck

I would be dubious of anybody (i.e. lawyer) telling you to give them money and they will help you get a B2 visa.

You can apply...anyone can apply....but getting it will virtually impossible...because how in the world are you going to convince the VO that you will return to the Philippines instead of staying put and (after changing your mind of course) adjust status?

You can attempt to get a B2 but it is unlikely that it will be approved with a USC spouse.

The spousal visa you should have filed for is the CR-1 visa , K-3 is obsolete and K-1 isn't an option as you are married.

Alternatively your husband could look at visiting you, that will probably be easier

Good luck!
