Visiting my husband using my Nonimmigrant visa

[MariR 0]

Hello,

I am a Filipina married to a US citizen for almost a year. We are not starting the petition yet. I am planning to visit him in February using my B1/B2 non-immigrant visa. I just recently resigned in my job. What are my chances of getting denied in port of entry? What shall i bring as documentation?

Also, if I was allowed to enter in the US, can my husband submit the I-130 subject for consular processing, come with me in the Philippines and wait for my interview in the Embassy?

Thank you in advance for your help!

he can submit the I-130 no matter where you are...what are the reasons you might offer for returning to the PI instead of changing your mind and staying put?

thank you for your answer. I wanted to proceed with the process legally and without having any problems later on. But I also wanted to lessen the time that we are apart.

I am guessing that in your reply, you meant to ask if why should i go back to the Philippines after instead of staying in the US and just adjust my status, correct?

Your chances of getting in to the USA for a short visit are pretty good.

Yes he can leave with you and stay in the Philippines, but remember the spousal visa process takes about a year, he probably cannot take that much time off work, especially considering that a big part of you getting the visa is that he can financially support you.

I would be surprised if you have an issue, how long are you looking to come for?

I would like to stay as much as I could. But i will onlybe buying a round trip ticket for 3 months max. But hoping they will stamp my passport for 6 months.

I need to come back to wait for the consular interview. I bought a house that is currently in building process.

why can't/won't you stay in the US and do the AOS there? If you can be gone from the house construction for 6 months, why not more?

I am afraid that i'll be denied because having a husband in the US makes me someone who have "intent to live/stay". I can't afford to be denied. Well, I am open to doing that in the US only if I am 100% sure and confident that it will not be a problem in our application for petition. Remember, i am on a non-immigrant status.

I think what he's looking for is answers from an officer's pov. Not encouraging you to do so
