 You know many many years ago there was a similar post. The reactions to it was completely different, basically the OP in it had explained his spouse had ended their relationship, suddenly, without warning, and refused to speak with him. He was bombarded with comments about how it 'wasn't right' for him to come.  Arguments above 'family unity' and fraud/visa misuse etc.

 

And after much discussion it was established that it didn't matter what the users on VJ felt personally about the topic- it is covered in immigration policy.  Once the visa is issued the visa holder is able to use it regardless of any personal issues the couple may have. The visa can be canceled by the petitioner withdrawing prior to the entry trip (where it becomes used). 

 

So immigration law says if he is in possession of a valid visa he can use it. Im sorry if you disagree with the advice given but it is the correct advice from a legal standpoint. Whether he should come and fight for his marriage or if it's wise to do such I am going to refrain from commenting as too few details were provided despite repeated attempts by @family for a more complete story as to whats going on between them. 

Yes, but I wasn't speaking of "legally right," I was speaking of "morally right." This person is going to show up in the US...yes, legally. But then what? If the spouse still doesn't want anything to do with him? What then? Does he sleep at the Greyhound bus station? I used to work at Ken's many years ago ...you know, they make the salad dressing; in the short time I worked there, everyone I worked with spoke no/very little English. I did have the opportunity to drop a guy off at his apartment one afternoon ... there were like 20 other guys in a one bedroom apartment....basically a flop house...so yeah, I question the American dream that you have anticipated for this individual; but yeah, it's "legal." 

 

AND, apparently my point, though valid, is moot since they seemed to have worked things out.

Pleas advise. I got my cr1 visa issued, but my wife now wants us to go our seperate ways, as she complained I'm coming too soon, but I believe that's just an excuse she doesn't want me to come to her. But pleas can I still make entry into the USA?. Pleas advise how I can go about this.

Sir, you got the cr1 visa already. I will make it to USA with or without her concern. When you reach here change the address on USCIS website and put an address where your greencard will be mailed to. Atleast that's what I will do if I am in this situation.

Thankfully they settled, he wouldn't need to change anything. Love conquers all!

Firstly, if her reason is that "You're coming to the US too soon" after you guys have waited for 3 years (as claimed by you),  then she's probably with someone else over there!  You need a good lawyer. Also, I'd advise you to travel to the US as sooner as possible before she blocks the move. If the fault is indeed from her and with the amount of time you've waited, then you traveling to the US should not be regarded as "an advantage" as seen from some other comments here.

Oh no! Sorry to hear that! You can still travel since you have your visa on hand. 
Good luck!!!

When I lived on Guam, a 79 year old guy got a K-1 for a 19 year old Filipina.  She came to Guam, but they had a hard time finding someone who would officiate the marriage.  Finally found someone, got married, still together as far as I know unless he passed away....
