Can my Russian wife travel to me here in the US on her visitors visa after we have applied for the CR-1 ?

Yes.  She has to be honest when talking to CBP - that she is visiting her husband while waiting for the CR-1 visa.  They may deny her entry if they suspect she might try to overstay or adjust status.  If she has a history of visiting other countries without issue, has strong ties to home (a job and home to return to), and is just visiting - a few weeks or so - with a round trip ticket, that should not be an issue.

 

Your profile states K-1 visa for Ukraine...but you are married to a Russian national?

Yes, as long as she has a valid tourist visa then she can travel with you. If she does not have a tourist visa then she can get one to travel to you, unfortunately it is usually harder to get a tourist visa after marriage due to the CO thinking that she will come here and stay.

Starting November, foreigners need to be fully Covid vaccinated to enter the US.  Sputnik V is not an acceptable vaccine for entry to the US.  I don't believe any other Covid vaccine is available in Russia at this time.
