Hello,

I was wondering if anybody here has traveled to the USA on a tourist visa after they had submitted a I-130/CR-1 package. If so, what was your experience? What country are you from? Were you admitted without any problems? Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

K1 and VWP

Not an issue, many do.

Many people have traveled with a tourist visa after they have filed for a CR1 or K visas. Every now and then they will say that the immigration officer gave them a hard time when they landed thinking they had traveled to stay and not to visit, but as long as you have proof that you have to go back to your country after your trip is over, then everything should be OK.
