Can husband visit while he waits?

[girlafraid7 0]

My husband (civil ceremony) and I live in Spain, but I will soon be heading back to the states for work, while we are filing the K3. We have a feeling that he may not be approved before our August 11 religious (and bigger) wedding. Will he be able to enter the US to attend our wedding on a tourist visa and then return to Spain after the wedding? Anyone done this? To simplify my question, can my husband come to the states while his process is pending?

Thanks in advance!

He can always try but will probably be denied based on the fact that there's probably no way to prove beyond a doubt that he would't be an immigration risk, considering that you have a K3 pending. Pretty hard to prove soldi ties to a country that you're planning to leave....

Couldn't you say that for just about ANYONE who visits though? Aren't they almost ALL planning to leave eventually? And as for doubt, .....there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that ANY person....no matter what the circumstances, won't stay.

I'd say her husband has just as good a chance as my wife who visited me 4 times on a tourist visa while our case was pending. She also left a country that she didn't have to go back to......but she did.

I don't agree with your statement that he'd "probably" be denied entry. They could just as well have said the same thing about my wife, ....that she'd be an immigrant risk......there was no gurantee she'd go back, other than for our word.

I'd say , based on what she has told us, that her husband has just as much chance as anyone else....I don't know why his odds are less than any other spouse who visits while an application is pending.

Nearly EVERYONE who visits a spouse/fiance' is coming from a country they plan to leave......eventually....and are an immigration risk.

I would tell "girlafraid7" that the odds of her husband being allowed entry to the USA are just as probable as any other spouse who visits while an application is pending.

There is a good chance he'll get in......but there is no 100% guarantee of this. people do...and have been turned back. But her odds are no less than for my wife........and no less than for other spouses who visited during the process.

She just needs to make sure her husband is prepared with paperwork that show ties..........and more importantly......meets the right customs agent.
