capzgwapz reacted to Chancy in Travel outside Philiipines while Documentarily Qualified
If your case is already DQ, then your petition is already approved. The US Department of State has no restriction for visa applicants on where to travel, except for travel to problematic countries like Iran or North Korea. If you don't plan on traveling to such countries, then you have nothing to worry about, as far as your US visa process is concerned. Just make sure to update your DS-260 info on the day of your visa interview. Inform the document screener at the US embassy in Manila of the new countries you visited since the time you submitted your DS-260.
As for the welcome letter, NVC does not send hard copies by post. Only email.

We did the same in Colombia so my wife could travel to the US and meet my family over Christmas. My wife was waiting for the I-130 and CR1 visa to progress and we applied for a tourist visa. They denied her on the spot for a tourist visa and the consular officer chuckled and said she has to wait for the CR1. The chances are extremely low or non existent from a country like Colombia or the Philippines. Right on the DS 160 is asks if you have any denials or other immigration proceedings to disclose and you NEED to disclose any other immigration proceedings because if you don't it could cause you to not have the I-130 approved. Save the money and just wait it out for the I-130.

You can go to YouTube and US Embassy in Manila has many videos they have put on line. They have said if you have a Fiancé/Spousal visa already filed then it is more difficult to get approved. And they odds were already stacked against you in the first place just trying to get a Tourist Visa from PI.
It only cost $160 and your time and effort going to the interview to find out the answer

Also, you have posted this question in another forum. This is against this site's TOS. Posting the same question in different answers is what causes clutter and confusion.
I will close this thread. Please be aware of the site's TOS on posting.

Just be aware that the CO is not obligated to look at any documents you bring to the interview---this is largely because there's no way for the CO to verify the authenticity of any document on-the-spot.

There is already a huge ongoing thread about visiting during the process.

You can apply, yes. The chance of being approved for the B visa will depend on you showing compelling ties to return to your home country after visiting the US. What ties do you have?
With a USC spouse, and a pending i-30, this chance lessens a bit due to strong ties to the US and the already shown immigrant intent---but it is possible, people have been approved before.

Ties to your home county, it is clear that you have ties to the US.
For example: a job that requires you to come back (maybe a letter from your employer might add a little weight to that), house payments, etc. Anything that you can think of to satisfy the CO at the interview that you will not stay in the US beyond your authorized stay.

Ties---as in what compels you to return to your home country---your employment, home ownership, etc.
You visiting your wife and kids are your reasons for traveling, which is fine---the CO will be focused on your reasons for returning to the Philippines.
Unfortunately, CO won't necessarily care that you haven't seen your spouse/kids, they are not in the habit of giving out visas based on compassion for others.
