How long will you need to stay out? When you enter the US/ US territory, you will get a stamp in your passport that acts as a temp greencard, so you can travel, like Darnell says.But you are supposed to be a resident of the USA, so don;t stay out too long- a few weeks or months is fine, but I wouldn;t push it past 6.

My husband has a B2 (tourist) visa valid until 2022. He lives in Brazil and we just filed the I-130. I live in the US. Would there be a problem for him to come visit me during this time? Will he be turned away at a point of entry because he's traveling on a tourist visa during the time we are going through this process of obtaining the IR-1?

Has anyone else gone through this?

No there will be no issue. He can visit US as long as he wants using his B1/B2 visa. once the IR-1 visa is released thats the time he cant use anymore the B1/B2 visa

Hello goodevening~ What to do after NOA2? thank you so much~ Have a good day,.thank you for responding. God Bless us all...

I agree that something needs to be changed. The presumption of immigrant intent creates way to many errors in my opinion. Any person can change their mind and decide to stay, whether they have ten houses in their home country or none. Luckily, my mother-in-law was granted a tourist visa yesterday in Mexico City, but she had a pretty stressful interview with the consular officer and if we hadn't prepared her with well organized documents and helped her practice, she may have been rejected.

There are many parents who just want to see their child or grandchild, such as in our case, and have no intent to immigrate, but because they are of limited means, they are presumed to want to come and stay in the United States. So while we had a good outcome, there are many who do not and I agree that something must change.

Hi everyone,

I am now a permanent resident of the US and my parents, who are UK citizens traveled to the US under the VWP to visit me. They flew into Newark and completed their ESTA before arriving, but have no stamp in their passports. They are considering making a trip to Canada for a day and then returning to the US on the same day. My question is whether there is likely to be a problem if they sought to re-enter the US on the same day? I am aware that the 90 day period which they are allowed to remain in the US would not be renewed but any advice about whether they should consider doing this would be appreciated.

Generally, UK citizens traveling between the US an Canada should have no problems. Most UK citizens do not need visas to visit either countries. Only those with prior entry or immigration problems would need visas.

Canada will let them in as citizens o the Commonwealth.

The US will let them return on the VWP.

That's interesting.
It's going to be about computer programming... They're going to keep me in their house, pay for food but nothing else...
Is it allowed for B1/B2 visa?

When I get to the US the teller in the airport will ask me what am I going to do... What should I tell him? (Legal, but good explanation)


Thanks again!

i niceperson, is not easy to persuit that visa. You will need to find a job here, somebody who is willing to sponsor you. But also needs to proof there's nobody here in the US, who can perform that job but you. Usually this kind of visa is granted for a very specific professionals and technicians, scientist etc. Is also common in large corporation where high professional staff are exchange. Is not easy to qualify at all. If eventually you want to become in a US citizen you need to remain with the same sponsor for 5 years aprx. After 5 years you can apply for a green card and after another 5 years you can get the citizenship. Its around 10 to 12 years. A friend of mine was hired by Texaco cause he is a high tech engineer in the petroleum and perforation are and this company sponsor him 5 years and then he could applied for his green card. He still has 3 years ahead until he can apply for citizenship.
I highly doubt a store manager qualify as a sponsor for this kind of visa
