Me and my partner are looking for the best way to proceed. I'm from Italy, he's USC.
Since the waiting time is almost the same, we're leaning to get married and proceed with a CR-1 visa, more than picking the K1 path.
Our concern about this is the traveling while the I-130 is pending.
What are the chances of a tourist visa getting denied because of this? Would this be a problem only with a pending I-130 or also with a pending I-129F?
I know for this purpose there's the K3 visa, but the waiting time is the same so there's no point.
We are willing to wait for the whole procedure to go through, but not being able to see each other in the meantime would be crazy.
Thank you for the help!
