Plenty of people have with an existing visa or VWP.  So if you already have one you can use it.  Be able to show ties back to "home".

 

Pretty hard to get one once you have announced your immigrant intent.  $160 and an interview is all it takes to find out.

Unfortunately almost everyone in family immigration has to endure time apart.  A few stay together in the beneficiary's country or, like us, lived in a third country together.

 

A year and 10 months is long.  Please fill out a timeline so we know how long each step has taken and you will het better advice.  Also correct your "filed for" to not be DCF.  Clearly if you did DCF you would have been done by now.

Traveled multiple times to the US during my still pending CR1 process.

Just bring a copy of your Noa1 and if you have it your Noa2 and make sure you always book a return ticket. I even had my employer writing a letter stating I would come back to my country because I still work there.

I never had to show the documents, but if they do ask questions you can always show that you are returning and your filing the right visa.

I renewed my ESTA during the CR1 process, it wasn't a problem at all. Maybe when you reached the NVC stage it is I am not sure of that.

If you already have have VWP or a B1/B2 you can definitely visit and usually renew as you already have a positive record.

 

Getting a new B1/B2 and other NIV during a petition is the issue.   The beneficiary has already signaled immigrant intent.

If you already knew the answer in your own personal case why would you bother to ask a completely generic worldwide question?  Yes, people from other countries can do this.  Now that you have this information does it make you feel better or worse?
