Visiting husband in USA before DQ

[Hannahl4211 42]

Hi there!

 

My I130 was approved on 28th April, and we submitted all our docs to the NVC. My husband is not very well at the moment (an old football injury has resurfaced) and I would like to visit him for a week or 2 to help him through, as I haven't seen him since Dec. 

 

Is this allowed?! I will definitely only be visiting, as obviously I will have to come back to the UK for my interview at the embassy.

 

Thanks in advance!

yes if you already have ESTA or a visa.   Spouses are exempt from the EO travel ban.

just to be sure:
 

is this allowed? In general yes.

 
will you be allowed in? That is a different issue. The fact i-130 was approved and your recent visit are not factors that guarantee you will be allowed in this time.

Hi Hannah,

 

I visited my husband several times during the process, and I had no issue entering the USA since I have a good reason ro be back to my country (job, property....),

I always travel with my job certificate, and some paperwork justifying that I am the owner of a property (car, house,...)

 

I’ve never been asked to show them, but they are always with me in case of.

 

good luck

Since I received my DQ, I was advised by my lawyer not to travel to see my husband as I would be considered a flight risk. Before that, I traveled pretty much every month to see him with no issues. The DQ email from the NVC states not make any travel plans, sell property, etc at this time. To err on the side of caution, I won't be seeing my husband anytime soon, heartbreaking as that is for us.
