Hi everyone..My wife (lives and work in SIngapore) and I (living and working in US) are in the process of I-130 but she wanted to come here and visit me. My question is can she apply for a tourist visa while the I-130 is being process? Will it affect our application if she does apply for it? Consequence to our original application for her permanent move here?

Thank you in advance.

Yes she can and it will not have any effect.

Boiler, so she can apply for a Tourist Visa to come to the US and it will not create a red flag that might end up denying our visa application for her.

It is normal for spouses to want to visit eachother; while she may not be approved as she has immigrant intent, it will not affect her spousal visa one way or the other. If you can afford the application fee, go ahead!

what i have heard is that they delay both visas to infinity if not reject the visit visa

Do you have any concrete evidence of that? Better not to scare other members unless you do.

Denials are possible, because of proven immigrant intent. But " delay both visas to infinity" like you said is plain wrong.
