jigi,

their been multiple post on this topic ... nobody form india said they have done it ... some person fom japan and germany had done it

The only thing is possible that u had already had a visit visa when u were filing your case otherwise i think it is extremely difficult to get visit visa when your case is pending and it can bring suspicion in the mind of the consul officer about your case and can damage u so better to wait when u get your immigrant visa.

Agreed. I have only heard of denials of tourist visas while immigration visas were pending.

The law states that you cannot hold 2 US visas simultaneously. Hence, I doubt they will process 2 visas parallely. I too suggest that you just wait for your immigrant visa.

Getting the visa isn't the only hurdle. If you even get the visa, you can be denied entry into the US at point of entry. I don't think it's worth the hassle. Just wait it out :-/
