TRAVEL TO U.S. BEFORE K-1 APPROVAL?

[Dchama 0]

My Fiance is Japanese. We recently filed for our K-1 in January and received our NOA-1 a few weeks ago. She is currently in the U.S. on a 3 month Tourist VISA. My question is after she goes back to Japan, can she re-enter the U.S. with her passport and another tourist VISA? Our K-1 is still being proessed.

If the tourist visa you are talking about is B2, I don't think the US embassy Japan would give her another one unless there are very special circumstances.

If it is VWP, she might or might not be able to enter to the US. It really depends on the immigrant officer at POE.

She wants to try to enter the states again with just a Passport (90 day tourist VISA)

It depends on the immigration officer at point of entry. It should'nt be that way, but it is.

There is nothing to stop her coming to visit under the VWP just make sure she has plenty of ties to her home country. And as said before ultimately it is up to POE whether they let her in or not. There are numerous threads on this subject if you search for them.
