Tourist visa during nvc process

[nvc_immigration 0]

Hello,

I wanted to ask something that is very urgent so any help would be much appreciated. I am at the beginning of the nvc process and I have to go to America to meet my spouse asap because of a family emergency. Is it possible that I could apply for a tourist visa from Nepal and come back before the visa date ends? Would it be near to impossible to get the visa for me because of my ongoing proess? Does it affect my process at all if I apply for the tourist visa? How do I prove that I am gonna come back and not just stay there. What are the requirements for a tourist visa?

Thank you!

hi

the outcome will not affect your process, all you can do is apply if you are willing to loose the money if you are denied

you have to prove strong ties to your country, that you will return no matter what

having a husband here and an ongoing process that you only have a few months to come here may hinder your possibilities

but no one knows what can happen unless you try

what sort of emergency requires that you go to the US? And, more to the point, what, realistically, motivate you strongly to return? (from the CO's perspective, you would need to prove that there was something in Nepal far far far more important for your presence there than your USC spouse who is living in the US? What would that be? Parents? Nope. Siblings? No. A job? no. You are about to leave all of those sooner or later once the processing is finished, so what is it that you could point to that would be interpreted as about a 5000% chance to return instead of staying put in the US? Because whatever it is (or what you think it might be), it will have to be something that is roughly equated with life or death.

I'm a 22 year old guy who's about to lose his wife because I can't make it there and after 2 years if work and school and working her butt off.. She is just tired. If I don't go. I lose her and I don't have much that can prove I will come back except a sick mother who I take care of and who I wouldn't leave behind even if the word fell apart and emotional stuff is barely anything to the embassy people and they need something practical but I can pay for my own expenses and have my mom's shop which I look after. Small business. Is there no hope for me?

I could prove that I look after her and her health conditions? Like.. I would come back. I just don't get why they don't just lock me up if I stay or something like that. 2 months is all I need.

Your Mother can not immigrate with you. You will need to be a US Citizen to petition her.

Can't your wife take a little time off and come to visit you instead?

[HFM181818 750]

being tired is not a medical emergency....and if caring for your mother is really that important, how will she survive during your two month absence? And who will take care of her when you get your immigrant visa and leave Nepal for a long long time? That is the inconsistency of your story...your mother cannot need your care, but oddly not need it while you are gone for allegedly two months....the COs are not issuing visas just because somebody wants one....they have to be 101% convinced that the applicant will return....but it sounds like (not surprisingly) that you would rather be with your wife...thus, the issue remains....what, realistically, will be the overwhelming reason(s) that would bring you back instead of camping out, waiting for the paperwork processing to be complete, and then do the ever-popular AOS while in the US?

Then, there is this 'family emergency' of your wife being 'tired.' Why will it take her two months to get rested? Now, you may think this question is rather blunt, but a CO (experienced) will be asking themselves (and you) this question? What is the 'life and death' emergency that requires your presence while your mother is still in dire need of your care? These two items don't mesh. Individually they make little sense; together, they make no sense. This will just look like a pretext to get you to the US, have the mind change at baggage claim, and stay in the US....(while your mother is.....???)

the answer to Ortolan's question is usually 'answered' with the following: ' my spouse cannot take time off of work because she has too many things to take care of.....and he/she used all of her leave last year....and the airlines only go one way...from (insert the foreign born spouse/fiancé's country here) to the US....(odd)...the USC is always too busy or too sick to travel...I've heard this or something similar when I posed the question to the applicants about 100% of the time....an amazing coincidence that every USC spouse or fiancé all share the same work demands and the same, mysterious illness.

I agree with the others. The story of your sick mother will not wash considering you gave started a legal process to permanently relocate to the other side of the planet without her. If you cannot leave your mother, bring your wife to you. From what you are saying, you are trying to save your marriage? I think that's how I've understood it. If your wife can't wait a couple more months for you there's a big issue here. And I don't think a 2-month holiday with her will help that.

You have to remember that all consular staff are under the impression that everyone in the world wants to move to the USA at any cost.

Yup.Trying to save my marriage. Moms gonna be taken care of by her sister who I trust very much. She came back about 4 months ago when we had my mom in the hospital and that's after the earthquake in Nepal. Just wanna see her is all and I can't ask her to go her anymore. She's done that over and over again for the past 3 years. It feels wrong after a while that I can't go see her just once and she has to go all the way again and again. I'm still gonna apply even if no hope... That's what you do for family. Maybe there's a miracle. I know you guys probably read this on a daily basis in this forum but you guys probably know that it's very painful to be away from your loved ones.

If it makes you feel better many of us on this forum were without our significant others for 5-6 years. It is the worst. And can be misraeble. But if you are patient it will work out for you. My fiance at the time wasn't granted a visa to come before the fiance visa and it was heartbreaking. In fact, there were a lot of heartbreaking moments. But, the good thing is things end, including seasons like the one you are in. When you are in America with your spouse, you will forget all the hard times and it will feel like a distant memory. Be patient. You will get through. I know this is not directly related to your question, but I did want to speak up about your need to save your marraige. Even if you don't get this tourist visa, you can still make it through.

[HFM181818 750]

If your sister can care for your mother, that eliminates the main reason why you would return.

The issue of 'feeling wrong' because you might not be able to visit your wife is the fault of all of the people who have abused tourist visas over the years...because their actions have eroded the trust that a CO might be willing to give.......but the actions of people, including from Nepal, those who said one thing and promptly did another, only has and will make it tougher to convince a CO that you are the one in a 1000 who might actually return.

Patience is the key in this whole process .... I am not sure if B2 is issued when you are going through a immigration process ... you can try and see if you get your tourist visa ... It doesnt just end with getting the visa ... when you travel to the US at the POE you need to be honest and tell them you are here visiting your spouse and you need to carry documents to prove that you have strong ties to your native country. ....
