My husband and I are about 3-5 months from completion on the IR1/CR1 Visa and we were wondering if anyone had any problems with there spouse coming over to the united states while their visa was being processed. He is from the UK and will fly under the visa waiver program. Our plan is to maybe use the full stay allowed under the VWP while our visa is being processed so that when he flies back, it is around he time he will have his interview. Any comments will greatly be appreciated because as u probably know, the last thing we want to do is jeopardize our visa process. Thank you all for all of your help over the past months. :unsure:

My UK husband using visa waiver has never had any problems (3 entries into US since we were married ... August 4, 2006 ... 7 entries in total in less than 2 years) but he has never stayed that long (I lived in the UK for 7 months). His longest stay was 3 weeks.

There is a UK regional forum and you might get more reponses there.
