visiting the US with a pending F2A petition

[irena2510 2]

I tried to get a tourist visa, with i-130 form pending, but I was rejected.

But maybe it was my fault. I always confuse with dates and periods of time, so at the interview I told the year of our marriage incorrectly... I blame myself so much for that.

I want to apply for B-2 visa once again, after my husbands' visit to Belarus, but I'm scared that I jeopardzed my chances of getting a visa by my stupid mistake.(((

I've had the same question and I called the US embassy.

They confirmed that as long as my wife comes to visit and returns, it is perfectly fine.

Actually...when we had our wedding in the USA she arrived to the airport with her wedding dress in her hand crossing the border. The officer asked a few questions from her, gave me a call at my work phone and went through the same questions ...one by one ticked the box for each question as long as my response matched to what my wife said. I was honest upfront with him that she is coming to get married with me.

The key point was that we both referred to reaching out to the US embassy and seeking advice and they confirmed no problem at all....she got admitted, however the officer said he is unsure if it is a good decision he is making...and he said he makes a note on my file too, that I confirmed my wife will leave after the wedding. (yes, he did ask me to confirm that I understand that my green card can be refused to be prolonged in case I end up knowingly mislead them).

Of course, it wasn't the case, but he had to cover his back. Otherwise the discussion was friendly and he was very professional.

Conclusion: tell 100% truth and you will be fine.

She is on the visa waiver program, didn't need to apply for tourist visa.
