spousevisa After apply for I-30 visa for spouse Can I travel to stay with my husband until the status is approved ?

[Gisele de Moraes 0]

I’m so confused! I am in USA for 4 month and I miss my husband. I saw that the visa is taking too long!

You can visit but you cannot stay beyond the date on your I-94.

Also, if you travel too often there is the risk of CBP canceling your tourist visa.

Then you can indeed travel and stay with your husband, but in that case you need to check the requirements for his country. 

 

Where is he from?

This is all so confusing! He is from Brazil.

Then you can visit him for 90 days and then return to the US.

Unless you're Brazilian too. In that case you obviously stay as long as you want.

 Why this time frame ? Any specific reason?

90 days is the time visitors are allowed. 

As you're a citizen, no issue, stay there until the petition is approved.

 

I guess you have someone that can receive your mail while you're in Brazil?

They require you to have enough income to sponsor your husband.

Yes, when the petition progresses to the National Visa Center (NVC) you will have to provide an I864 showing you can financially support your spouse.  If you do not meet that requirement, you will have to find someone else in the US (a citizen or green card holder) to co-sponsor and fill out their own I864/I864A.  You also have to show you have a domicile in the US.  That being said, many US citizens do reside overseas with their spouse until it is time for them to apply for a US spousal visa.  Every county has their own immigration laws, and someone planning to do this has to follow the laws of that country.

 

Good Luck!

Actual circumstances make a difference in answering your question.  Now that we know you are both a US Citizen and a citizen of your husband's country, we know you are allowed to visit as long as you want.  However, you will still need to either qualify financially (keep working) to sponsor him, or have a qualified joint sponsor.
