Good luck with securing a tourist visa. There are pinned threads about this very topic. You will have to prove strong ties back home, however since you have a pending I-130 the Embassy will see it as you may be up to funny business and likely deny you a tourist visa. Of course, each case is on an individual basis. I have seen where those from VWP countries seem to be able to travel back and forth while waiting for a pending immigrant visa. However, given Jamaica is considered a high fraud country your chances are slim. Good luck.

I also think same as BeanCamp. Chances are very very slim.... better just wait on the i130 - might be wrong though (cases & applications are treated individually.)

just to visit and go back home

I've visited my husband three times since we filed. Always had evidence of my intention to return back home with me, but I was never asked for it at the border.

If I may assume, you are from a VWP country - Finland. So yes, you can go there and back. Not when you are from so-called 5th world country

OP, if you already have your tourist visa, you can travel to the US from Jamaica just fine during the filing process. If you'd have the apply for a tourist visa, that's where a difficulty might arise.

It's my husband he has a visitors visa and he lives in jamaica i'm filing for him, so i was wondering now that his pd is current if it's safe for him to travel now.

Very tricky! He could actually go but the officials might translate his visit as intentional. That is, he is coming over to adjust his status when he arrives since PD is current. With visa in hand, he has right to travel but then what does the officials think?

Someone else might also input here...
