Hello everyone

My wife is a LPR and already applied a petition for me where it got approved 3 months ago (i-130), so i was wondering if i will be eligible to go to US right now (as i have a valid B1/B2 visa till 2019) and after that to apply for an adjustment of status.

Thank you all in advance.

No. It is illegal and visa fraud for you to use your tourist visa with the intent of going to the USA and staying.

You can use your visa to visit if you miss your wife, but you cannot move to/ live in the US/ work there etc until you get the spousal visa.

As others stated, you cannot enter the US with the intent to adjust status with a visitor visa. You will be denied with no appeal and banned from the US. You already have an approved i130 and you're already at the NVC stage, you will have your visa soon, don't risk it.
