Just curious..can my husband who is waiting to get his cr-1 come to us on a vistor visa while waiting to process the cr-1?

I am just wondering if it is possible for my husband to come to the US on a visitor visa for a small trip while we are waiting on his CR-1 to be processed? We are still on the NVC processing and should be at least another two months before he can get a interview date..I was just wondering if anyone else has done this? or if it is allowed or possible? Thanks!

He can attempt to obtain a visitor's visa to visit you in the US but it will be an uphill battle, especially from Morocco.

Its possible in some parts of the world but dealing with Morocco will be very difficult to impossible. He may also have to deal with the dreaded AP. I suggest you look into that just to have an understanding of what that may mean. Hopefully it wont happen but its likely. Ask on the Moroccan portal.

Keep in mind that even if he got a tourist visa he could be turned away at the POE when they find he has a pending petition so it may be better not to have gotten his hopes up in vain.

Dealing with Morocco I doubt they will even consider it. We had the same idea and they pretty much were negative and rude when we went in to dicuss the possibility. We wish you the best of luck, anythig could change or be possible.

Does he already have a visitor's visa? My husband had one prior to the process and never overstayed. He brought some proof of ties to his country when he came to visit last month. No questions asked and he was allowed in. But at the time we were only at the i130 stage. Not sure how it works when you are at NVC stage.
