Will USA remove my wife's visa?

[raysn0w 20]

Hello guys,

There seems to a lot of confusion in my country "Dominican Republic" about filing for I-130 and the visa removal of the beneficiary:

I am a green card holder and I'm going to file for I-130 for bring my wife to the USA, she has 10 years of Visa, everything that we "hear on the street" is that after I file, she will get her visa removed and wont be able to visit.

My question is:

1. Will the United States remove her visa, if so why?
2. Is there some sort of waiver that we file for the USA NOT to remove her visa?

To clarify: she has already enter the USA a few years ago and didn't overstayed and don't have any intent in doing so. We just want to be able to visit whenever we have chance during the process.

Please let me know your experiences.

Thanks!

Filing the I-130 has no affect on your wife's visitor visa.

Hi aaron2020,

Thanks for the quick reply, during the whole process, is there something that has an affect on her visa?

Once she goes to interview, they will remove her visitors visa, but not before.

while the embassy will not likely cancel her visa, CBP might not admit her, especially if she shows up with 9 pieces of luggage for a two week trip.

As long as she stays a reasonable amount of time, one that is consistent with a person who still has strong reasons to return to their own country, she should be OK....but one or two prolonged visits might result in her losing her tourist visa....
