How often you can visit your spouse in The US during the process?

Hi guys,

 

My husband has filed I-130 since October 2016 and we are still waiting for NOA2. Since then, I visited my husband twice and each time was about 6 weeks (I was 6 weeks outside The US between those 2 trips).  I do not expect the NOA2 for at least a couple more months given how slow Nebraska Center is.  I want to visit my husband again for the third time. I want to stay about 6 weeks again and by then, if I am lucky enough, I might get NOA2 and fly back to process NCV in my country.Do you think the immigration will let me in easily?

Its nice to know that you did visit your husband with a pending i-130. I think you could still visit if you are able to convince the Immigration officers about the intent of your stay/visit. Nebraska is way behind processing at Jun 29(as of today on VJ). Unless you are from Philippines.

Just curious to know what were the questions from the Immigration Officer during your visits?

Hi Chamma,

 

Thank you. I really hope so. Every trip I made, I was nervous the whole journey. I am from Thailand (imagine, 26 hours on the flight thinking if the immigration will let me in or send me back home).

 

The last 2 times, they asked general questions:

- What is the purpose of your visit (the first time I said 'holiday', and the second time I said 'visiting family')

- Have you visited The US before? (yes)

- How long do you intend to stay in The US this time (6 weeks)

- What do you do for living? (I replied that I am an employee.)

- How much money do you bring with you (this was asked on my first trip)

- When was the last time you were in The US (I gave the month/year of my previous trip)

- Why are you back again so soon (this was asked on my second trip, and I answered 'to visit my family')

 

I cannot remember if there were any other questions...
