Hi,

My wife already had been to the US several times before I applied (2/09/2010). After I filed I-130, she travelled to the US on a visitor's visa (she had a 10 yr multiple entry already) on Feb 24th. The Immigration Officer asked her the following:

IO: What is the purpose of your trip?

W: Visiting relatives.

IO: Who is the relative and where do they live?

W: Relative is my husband and he lives in this city.

IO: You have been here recently in Dec 2009?

W: Yes.

IO: Are you visiting for AOS?

W: No, I plan to return after this trip.

My wife was allowed in for 6 months!!! So she is with me now in the US and hopefully by the time she returns, the file will have moved to the embassy for her to complete her formalities there.

Best Luck!
