I-130 Pending

[cklaus10 0]

I am a USC and just received my I-130 NOA1 receipt. Is my wife allowed to visit the U.S. using VWP, obviously for no more than 90 days, while my I-130 is pending? Any suggestions about what to have ready for the officer at the border?

Thank you.

Yes she is allowed to visit.

Good idea to bring NOA1 (it shows you plan on doing things legally), and proof of ties to home (lease, letter of employer stating when she is expected back, bills etc)

But no 100% guarantee they let her in. It is rare, but if the CBP agent doesn't think she meets his standards, there is always a small risk of her being turned back. Rare--but possible.

Agree with this, but on asking my attorney he suggested avoiding credit card bills or high amount bills as the CBR may think you could be running from them, his words nt mine.

Everytime I have gone to visit my wife albeit this will be the first time as my wife I have had letter from employer, bank managers signiture to state I have savings I could only draw wthin the UK, car parking ticket for the airport, all return tickets, couple of recent pay stubs, but now the ex wife has bought me out I no longer have property, but have a lease from landlord which will be up for renewal a month after I return by which time we should be in the NVC stage.

But anything thatshows you still have a life in you own country will suffice, if they want proof they will ask, never offer until asked for.
