My Sister( USA citizen born in USA) lives in South Korea, and is married to South Korean citizen. They recently filed the I-130 for  the South Korean husband. It is still processing. They live in South Korea.

The South Korean husband recently applied for a job in the United States and the company said their lawyer said it would be impossible for him to get a work visa  since he has already applied for an I-130. 

is this correct? Will it be impossible for him to enter the United States on a work visa because of the I-130 application? 

If this is true, they wish they had known this before applying for the I-130. 
Can someone clarify this for me?
thank you

It depends on the visa but the answer varies from not an issue at all to maybe a complicating factor.

 

Certainly not impossible.
