tourist visa while filing for CR1??

[LC2016 15]

Ok so my husband and I have been married for 2 months now and are currently in the process of finishing the I-130 forms. Now we are wondering if he does apply for a tourist visa in Colombia (home country) will that hurt our I-130 process. The reason he wants to do that is because we have both come to realize that the process might take longer and well obviously with me working and not having a vacation until December he would like to come and visit as often as possible, as well as being able to spends our 1st holidays together.

Also I am aware that if he did that then he would need a letter from a USC what does the letter have to say and can I write one inviting him to the states? ?? Sorry we're just wanting to spend more time togather than just 3 weeks out of the year

It should not, but he has to be honest & not lie about

anything....he will need to prove his visit wont turn

into a permanent situation, showing ties to his country

job letter,,lease, contracts for stuff he maybe involved

with or business ( still not a great chance if being petitioned)

no harm in trying.

What letter? There's no letter fro USCIS. many of our love ones try for Tourist Visas during the process. Do as previous stated and show strong ties to his country to show he will return. Doesn't hurt your I-130 petition.

Well we were told that it had to be like and invitation letter so that they know where they will be staying and such., not really sure though. I should get a more detailed conversation with my hubby soon. But thanks we'll try and see what happens. We have strong faith that it will be what God wants it to be. =) Thanks for all your help

I am sorry I saw USC and thought you were saying a letter from USCIS. Sorry

Yes invitation letter some have but more is the evidence he has to show he has strong ties.

Hi all,

I have the same question. First just want to tell about our story. I'm beneficeary waiting my NOA2 in my country it's gonna be 6 months soon since my husband filed I130, he is living and working in US. We have 1 y.o. Baby, she is USC too but living with me. My question is after getting i130 approved can I and my daughter visit my husband coz he really missed our daughter and CR1 can take 1 year which is

hard to handle to my hubby far from his small

kid. I read a lot about ties to living country but I don't have any of them, I don't have job coz taking care my baby and totally depend on my USC husband, no own house(staying with my parents) no car. Please can you tell me how are my chances to get B2 visitor visa?

Your husband's petition should be approved any day now.

Seems weird that it's taking THIS long.

Has he been in contact with his congressman to get a status?

[*Milly* 3]

Not yet just he is waiting until it'll pass 6 months because when he called USCIS IO said that the normal timeframe for i130 is 6 months now and we should wait. That's why I wish to visit my husband coz nobody knows how long the whole case will take

And KDH how do you think if I apply for visitor visa without any ties to my country .. ?

You can certainly apply for a Visitor Visa, the child of course does not need one.

The ties are required to increase the likelihood of get one.

This is great stuff you guys. I ran across it the other day and have been looking for it like crazy ever since. My husband and I have not even started filing the I-130 yet. Will do so at the end of July. I am two months pregnant and returning to the US in July. We don't want to be apart during the pregnancy and delivery. The only thing is that our business here in Uganda isn't registered, and we are leaving our leased apartment at the end of this month to save money, so we won't have that lease any more either. He has already been denied the visitor's visa once before.

Do you guys think if we register the business it will be enough, or since he was denied, there is not much of a chance. We really need good advice, since we are already very strapped for cash, and if someone honestly thinks it wouldn't be approved, don't hesitate to let us know.

Thanks so much to this whole community!

Once a person had been denied a visitor visa, the success of a subsequent application requires a stronger showing of strong ties to home to overcome the presumption of illegal immigration.

With you pregnant and returning to the US, his ties to home are weaken and his ties to the US increases.

Registration of the business will not likely matter since he will be selling it or shutting it down in a year when he immigrates to the US. It's not a particularly strong tie.

He should apply, but don't get your hopes up when he already has a visitor visa denial and now has stronger ties to the US and lea to his home than the last time he applied.

Do not see how the Business being registered is relevant.

Ok, thanks for the feedback!
