Our I-130 was approved in only 57 days, on April 15th. We are naturally overjoyed at the progression, but now we have to be careful(I think) with our timeline.

I am using a military lawyer, so I am not positive of my next action (I am researching still). I am not sure of how much my lawyer has submitted for info beyond the I-130 itself. I will call her Monday.

My husband has about 6 months left to graduate at the university (in Italy). On summer break we are planning for him to come here. July 20-September 1st.

Benito must return to Italy to finish the courses, exams, thesis, and graduation (projected in October).

As far as I have gathered there is no restriction on him visiting the USA while the visa application is in progress as long as he has proof to return before the 90 day period--no problem.

I want to buy his commercial ticket for this summer because prices are decent right now. I am looking for opinions on what ind of conflicts we might run into at our stage in the game and a visit here this summer. Thanks, and good luck to all!

I hope I gave enough info, I know this is a tough (opinion) question. Just looking for advice!

well

i understand your situation and let me clear a point first

u talked abt(90 days )

90 days are given ONLY to k-1 (finace visa ) for ppl who are NOT MARRIED ..so upon arrival to the states they must marry within 90 days ..i see u r CR-1 visa ..and applied for I-130 ..so 90 days sector doesnt apply to you

as of ur second concern ..i DOUBT he can be issued a visa specially ur I-130 is approved .

i said i DOUBT ..not sure ..ONLY embassy at his country (italy ) can answer this ...give them details abt ur I-130 situation not abt his school (they dnt care )

Good Luck

i think she meant 90 days as the time he can stay per year with a visa waiver. EU citizens qualify for a visa waiver. However, his entry is still at the discretion of the agent at the point of entry.

Thank you for the input. I know that my husband can visit for up to 90 days at a time at any given time of the year.

I am looking for red flags on his coming to visit the USA for 40 days this summer with our I-130 being approved April 15th.
