Visiting the US while K1 visa being processed

Hello, Did someone visit your boyfriend/girlfriend to the US after your case was approved ?
I understand that one can visit the US with a valid VISA such as ESTA or B1 while waiting for the K1 VISA.
But, is it OK to travel to the US at any stage of the K1-VISA processing ??
Can one enter the US after one gets the case number (and bofore scheduling the interview at the US embassy in one's country)  ??
I am worried because I saw some people taken to a hearing room at the immigration and questioned for 2 or 3 hours.
 
Thanks,

Yes, of course you can. As long as you have a valid visa to enter.

 

There is already a massive thread on this subject at the top of this forum.

If you have a valid travel document and a valid entry document, you can request temporary entry into the US at any stage.  But there is always the possibility of being taken to secondary inspection since every entry is at the discretion of CBP.  Just be prepared to convince them that you will return to your country.
