visiting when approved but...

[jaliuana 6]

so, i have seen questions asking if visiting while the petition is pending is fine if you can prove you aren't intending to stay if they ask for proof. my question is, what if your petition has been approved? my situation is that NVC is taking extremely long and it's been two months and i don't even have a case number yet and they say they haven't even received my  papers yet (which is a whole different topic) our one year anniversary is quite soon and so i am just asking if my husband would be able to visit from south korea (a VWP country) for ten days although we are approved but technically not at nvc yet?

In short, if should be fine for him to visit you.  He should bring with him proof of ties to South Korea as well as proof of return ticket.  He should be honest about his intention of visiting you his wife for 10 days in the USA.  There is always a chance that he could be turned back at the border and denied entry to the USA.  But so long as he has ties to S. Korea and hasn't spent too much time recently in the USA or have other 'Red flags' (like for instance a past overstay in the USA) then he'll likely be admitted on VWP.
