Hi,  so me and my husband (US citizen) sent our CR1 application to USCIS at March this year outside the US, and we are still waiting for it to reach to NOA 2. 

We've been living in China for years and now are planning to move back to the US and start a new life after i get my immigration visa. 

Meanwhile I got a possible job offer from the US. The company wants me to get there as soon as possible and they can apply work visa for me, but they also don't know in case like mine, who already have a pending immigration visa, whether it'll be a problem or not.

Does anyone know if I can apply for a work visa while with a CR1 immigration visa pending?

Thanks.

The employer could apply for an expedited H1B visa (15 days) but those are pricey and they should be able to prove no one in the US can fill the role. Otherwise, you could petition an expedite request on your visa (free), but there are no guarantees. They can file a work visa for you.
