Hey all,

Has anyone out there tried to get a tourist visa while waiting for their Turkish spouse to get approval on the K3 visa? Or how about anyone else who has had experience in trying to get a tourist visa while waiting the K3- success anyone? Anyone successful from a country similar to Turkey??

Let me know, just want to be able to see my husband and can't travel back to Turkey for a while....

Thanks!!!!

Hi. I am new to this form and new to immigration. I got married in Turkey on July 6th and then returned to Miami. I mailed my I-130 to Texas Service Center but have not received anything. I am nervous and anxious since I hear there are many applicants and also TSC does not list I-130 processing times, so do they forward them or what? My husband is also going to try to get a tourist visa, but I am not sure they will grant since I have already applied for his green card. How are things going? :unsure:

Getting the visa is NOT the problem! You might be able to get the visa but, the problem might rise up in front of the immigration officer at the airport in US!! This is too risky...

Immigration Office looks at the K3 Visa applicant as a potential immigrant. That's why they dont want you to come in US with any other visa.
