Point of clarification - I mean accept the application for processing, I do not mean approve the application.

I agree that the chances that the application will be approved are less than for an application where there is no petition involved, because most people probably cannot submit suitable evidence, but I do not agree that the application cannot be submitted and will not be processed if submitted. Nor do I agree that the application cannot be approved, it can be approved if the applicant provides suitable evidence.

I further agree that a B2 visa application probably will not be accepted for processing if a K or immigrant visa application has already been submitted for processing. (Caution for some - a visa petition is not a visa application.)

zyggy,

...

Still looking for a good explanation for why the consular officers should not accept a B2 application when the decision should be based on intent for this trip, not on future intent.

I tend to disagree a little bit with you here... The reason why the US requires visas of some countires and waives the visa requirements for visitors is that VWP countires have an established record of their citizens not overstaying their visas.

The best offense against overstays is a good defense... The best defense is to make it very difficult or not issue visas at all to those individuals who have established immigrant intent.
