I am still hesitant to go, I would like to spend some time with my wife in the US but I am still unaware what are the consequences if they don't allow me to enter US for whatever reason if I decide to go? It is really frustrating when you really want to see your spouse and you have b1b2 visa but you are not guaranteed to enter US

I am aware of that, So to make things clear. C1D visa is my crewmember visa that serves to join the ship and to work on a ship. B1B2 is tourist visa that main purpose is visit US not work. Totally aware of this. But my question is. Taking in consideration that I'm in the Spouse visa process, can I see my wife for a few days on my B1B2 visa(only few days as I have to go back home and work on a cruise later in April)?

Thanks for reply, She was here in Serbia last week for a few days but she is the one that has regular job and it will be more convenient for me to go there for a few days before joining the cruise. I will join cruise ship next month but have anxiety going to US as I don't want to be denied and possible lose my b1/b2 and c1d visa as c1d visa is my working visa for cruise. And also I don't want to mess up my spouse visa application. Can anyone tell me what's the worst case scenario ? Please advise.

Good day everyone, I am a crewmember working on a Cruise ship and last year I married Us citizen and our process for Spouse visa CR1 is going smoothly. After I married my wife I went on a cruise ship joining in Alaska and had several times entered us during my contract. So I was working on a cruise that was in Us waters and I never had any overstays. I finished my contract last month and I needed to redo my c1d visa as it expires soon and I have to join cruise next month. So i went for my c1d visa interview and in the end of the interview counselor officer said to me that my c1d visa is approved and for good behavior and beig diligent with my c1d visa they will isue b1/b2 visa(that i didnt look for). Now my question is: Can I go and visit my wife in the us or is better not on b1b2 visa? As I said I got b1b2 visa for my previous clean history for over 8years being in and out of us but I work on a cruise and I don't work in my country/ Is that enough to enter us for a short visit 7-10 days before joining the ship? I would buy return ticket and vist her for few days, will come back to my country and than go and join the cruise. Your opinion?

Perfect guys, Thank you very much for the quick reply's it helped a lot. Hopefully everything is going to be alright.

Thank you very much for your reply. My C1d visa is expiring in 10 months time so I should be okay. When I asked would I have any issues i was thinking of me entering US port. Can I enter Us port whit out any issues with my c1d visa even if I apply for CR1? And do you think is better to marry in Serbia or maybe in one of the ports after I join the ship?

Very good day, I'm writing from Serbia and my future wife is US citizen. We are planning to get married in Serbia next week. I am working on the cruise ship and we met 7 months ago, we love each other, she was several times on the cruise and she is planning to come to Serbia. I got new contract to join ship in Alaska on my c1d visa. The plan is to get married and that we start process regarding marriage Green card CR-1. The question is : Can I work on the cruise ship during that processing time? i mean would I have any potential issues joining the ship and I just have C1D visa? I'm not planning to stay in us, I just want to work during that time and when the process is done i will then go there.
