Can my husband get a b1/b2 visa while the I-130 papers are in process?

It is possible but the US Embassy in Jamaica is rough with giving out visa.

If money isn't an issue he can try. The key would b the answer to the question "what compels him to return to Jamaica after visiting" With a wife in the US there isn't much to make him return there.

I will be starting a new job and i can't stay for long to have our honeymoon, i was going to right a invitation letter explaining myself with hopes that it will work.

How does that prove his ties to Jamaica ?

I guess it will not Him having a job is not good, I do understand what they will say. But he will not overstay we are in the process of having him come live here legally, and we will prove that we are doing that, i think it still won't work

The officer is required to assume that a B1/B2 applicant is going to not leave. That is why it is so hard to prove will leave especially if you are young.

My understanding is that you can not apply for a tourist visa while you have a immigrate visa in process. I may be wrong, and I have asked the same question. That is why we got the tourist visa before we got married. But I am sure they will take your hard earned money and a application just to deny you...

Your understanding is wrong. You can apply, you're just very unlikely to get approved - doubly so from a high-fraud country like Jamaica.

Jamaica is not a high fraud country. Why do people keep erroneously saying that?

My dear, it is extremely unlikely that your beneficiary would get any kind of visitors visa whilst going through the immigration process. People will tell you that you can apply and this is true. Legally you can. Our government will happily accept your application and your money but you would have a better chance winning a million dollar jackpot than getting a B visa. That's just straight talk. My soon to be brother in law was able to get a visitors visa in Jamaica to attend his mother's funeral in the US but my fiancé who had a then pending K1 visa was denied a visa. You could try meeting in Jamaica or another Caribbean country that doesn't require a visa on his part. Sorry hon. I'm trying to save you a few coins :-(
