Is traveling possible?

Hi guys

 

Quick question

Can I travel to the USA while my process is running?

Husband is in the USA (citizen) and I'm in London. 

Our I-130 hasn't been submitted yet, but when we do it's going to be the consular  option. 

I have a B1-B2 visa, I don't intend to stay, just to visit him every month or every other month.

 

Is that possible? Is it problematic?

Thanks a lot 

LS

It’s possible. Very much so. The issue currently is finding a flight that is operating. You will have to quarantine in the UK when you return for 14 days. You can’t even go out to work in that time. Might not be an issue if you can work from home.

Timeline in brief:

Married: September 27, 2014

I-130 filed: February 5, 2016

NOA1: February 8, 2016 Nebraska

NOA2: July 21, 2016

Interview: December 6, 2016 London

POE: December 19, 2016 Las Vegas

N-400 filed: September 30, 2019

Interview: March 22, 2021 Seattle

Oath: March 22, 2021 COVID-style same-day oath

 

Now a US citizen!

Hi JFH 

Thanks for your reply. 

 

Yeah I am aware that I'll have to quarantine for 14 days in the USA and another 14 days on my return...

 

I was more concerned on the officers not allowing my entry cuz I'll  be having a running I-130....

 

Thanks

I visited multiple times whilst waiting for my I-130 to be approved. No issue at all.

Fantastic news... many thanks. 

Do I need to carry any extra docs to support that I won't be staying?

Apologies if my question was a repetitive one.

I did try and search before I asked the question, but couldn't find what I was looking for, plus I'm new on here.

Once more my apologies

Hi, 

i just flew over all the answers here.

but i just recently read in a facebook group that you would need sufficient proof of ties to the UK like job or paying rent etc and maybe your marriage certificate And you should be good to go.

that person had absolutely no problem in crossing the border when landed in the US 😊
